Well ... I'm back home. It's like cheating, because I'm only 25 minutes away. So glad that Doran was posting pictures. Our battery charger for the camera was MIA, then I bummed Tim's cell phone charger & my phone never made it out to the beach. I took a video with my phone and a couple pictures on the evening run - I'll go find my phone and upload those.
We had a surprise phone call and inspection from the health department out here. I had to race out and buy a temporary food service license, and pass an inspection at our burger grill on Saturday.
I want to express my thanks and appreciation for everyone involved. It takes work to load up a family and make the drive. The campsites were in great shape and I had a wonderful time getting to meet everybody. I really do appreciate all the participation.
Brief apologies for the late dinner on Friday. I approached the event with a "loose" schedule, knowing we'd have some coming in late, having to locate others who had been there early, etc.
My goal for this event was to hear that those who made it will come back next year. I'd call year one a success. Surpassing my goal was hearing from 3 others that they'd consider making it out to our lake again later in the year. I'm nearby, nearly always, and would be happy to see anyone again. THANK YOU ALL !!
