Everyone got into the patriotic spirit and decorated the golf carts.
Even the bikes were decorated!
Crazy Tom and Miss Martha went all out!
Cody says, "Hey, wait for me!"
There they go rounding the first bend ........
Hope they are hungry when they come back! We had quite a spread of delectable dishes. I was expecting lots of the standard beans and potato salad. The baked beans were a tasty creation involving Dr. Pepper. There were lots of salads and some really yummy marinated vegetables. I ate a hot dog and a lot of little spoons of everything on the table. I must confess that my eye was on the desert table, though.
Part of the crowd of hungry campers. We invited all those that just happened in off the road for a night, too. I met some lovely folks and chatted with them. I could not tell you their names if my life depended on it, but I will recognize their faces should they drop in again.
This is what my mouth was longing for and when I got to the table it was gone!!!!
This wasn't, though. This dish involved Mountain Dew and apples, along with biscuits and was phenomenal. Fortunately, I only got a small bit, I would have eaten the whole dish if others had not beat me to it.
Very well behaved dogs! These folks were just passing through. I hope they come again, I liked their dogs!
Hanging out waiting for fireworks to start. These cuties brought a blanket, just in case the cool wind picked up.
Friends and families, pets and people. All with happy faces.
OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH, AAAAAAAWWWWWWWW!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY USA!
