Melanated Campout 2021 (8.27.21-8.29.21)

 I've been wanting to attend this event since its inception in 2019.  I finally made it for  2021!!!  I had such a blast.  If I could've paid for next year before leaving, I certainly would have.  I saw a familiar face (Cleta), and met some new people.  

I've prolonged posting this epic event, awaiting the opportunity to borrow from the professional pictures.  However, they haven't posted yet, so I'll have to settle for my rinky dink pics. 

Melanated Campout 2021 in Cartersville, GA was simply amazing!

I felt like a kid at Christmas!!!  This was soooooo much fun!

And then this happened on Sunday as I was attempting to leave.  I forgot to raise my jack.  UGH!!!!  Thank God for the angel men he sent to help me out of the situation.

Despite the mishap and my lack of great pics, I look forward to next year.

Kerr Lake & Seven Springs Farm/Vineyard (7.30-8.1.21)

 It took over 1.5 years, but I finally made it to Kerr Lake State Park.  I also had the opportunity to visit Seven Springs Farm & Vineyard-beautiful spot.

Saturday, I was able to take a short hike on one of the lake trails.  The deer and lizards wouldn't cooperate with me to get a photo of them though.

  

On to Seven Springs Farm & Vineyard for karaoke hosted by the band Niito.

A bee landed in Sis's wine glass.  We did an experiment to see if he/she would get tipsy from the wine.  No conclusion, but the bee was set free in the end.
