Live Oak Ridge Campout at Belton Lake, June 7-10
We ended the camping season with a small, but brave group of TOWNies. Beverly T set up Thursday, and Judy S from Dallas arrived braving the heat in a tent! (She says it wasn’t too bad.)
Susan W, Gloria B, and Sandy O arrived early afternoon Friday to beat the heat with a few dips in the clear, cold lake. We chilled our insides with frozen margaritas from the margarita momma to accompany chicken fajitas compliments of Susan and Beverly. We enjoyed chatting under the stars with fans blowing. Miss Pam and her crew arrived late Friday.
Early to bed and early to rise! Sandy O took off to Women in the outdoors to learn welding and bow fishing. She won two gift baskets and a handgun in a raffle! Well worth the drive over there!
Beverly dragged Gloria and Susan out to snag a few geocaches along the lake edge, where there was a little breeze. Miss Pam’s crew hung out in the lake all day. After we ate great food at Backyard BBQ, Susan led us all to the haunted Maxwell Bridge where we scared up a geocache in the oldest cemetery in Bell Co. All’s well that ends with Dairy Queen//even if we had to visit two DQ’s t! o find ice cream!
We were up way past our usual bedtime so we slept in Sunday, awaking to blueberry pancakes and bacon courtesy of Beverly and Sandy.
We will miss each other’s company until the next campout at Lake Livingston in September!
