Our ladies weren’t to be outdone! In March, when Navarro Mills Lake flooded for the 3rd time in less than a year and campers started getting cancellation notices, they weren’t having it! Luckily they all found campsites that would be available even though they were scattered throughout the park. Sharon and I went out on Sunday afternoon and snagged a couple of walk-in sites for the week.
Attending were SusanW, Eola, GayleS, Beverly, Gloria, Cheryl, SandyO, MargieS, Marie, SharonR, NancyL, BarbaraW, Carrie, and a guest, LindaB from Corsicana.
Sharon had a very large campsite on the lake next to the fishing dock. Her site became our meeting place with a campfire every night and all day on Saturday.
Ladies started arriving on Thursday and the rest came on Friday. SandyO arrived after dark on Friday, but she was determined.
Thursday afternoon we changed 2 water heater anodes to get the weekend started in TOWNie style.
On Saturday several of the ladies went for a 2-hour kayaking tour of the lake. Some of us tried fishing, but the fish just weren’t being cooperative. Also, a committee of TOWNies helped BarbaraW figure out how to install a pickup truck bed tent. We got the job done and found it to be a pretty neat idea.
On Saturday afternoon, ladies went to either Hubbard or Corsicana to visit the shops and museums in the area. A handful of us went to a nearby cemetery to grab an elusive geocache. If you ever need someone to climb a tree, check with MargieS. She can get the job done in a flash.
Rumor has it that some of our ladies even hit the Dairy Queen in Hubbard.
Saturday night we dodged the showers and MikeD, BillyR, and Gayle Steed’s husband, Frank, joined us for a hamburger supper at Sharon’s campsite. Gloria fixed us up with margaritas and pina coladas with promises for more at Ratcliff Lake.
Sunday morning we drove to Peggy’s Place near the lake for breakfast. The talk during breakfast seemed to surround other places we may want to camp in the future.
What great fun! Thank you ladies for making the drive from Austin and other areas to be a part of the campout.
