"Amazing grapes, how sweet they are...."

Re: Campground Ramblings

Taking it easy today. The last of the hurricane evacuees left the campground this week. Some took the hurricane opportunity to have an RV vacation without having to use their vacation days. Makes sense as there was nothing they could do until damage was cleared. A number of people we've met in our t...
