Paintball Pals (11.14-11.15.20)

 Outdoor Afro & Xplore Kayak hooked up again for a weekend of camping, kayaking, & paintballing.  This was my first time doing paintball and kayaking at night.  I was even able to convince Sis to try camping for the first time.  I must say that paintball was fun, once I got the hang of it.  Unfortunately, I never shot anyone with a pellet.  But I only got hit from a ricocheted pellet.

The No GHOE GHOE (10.31-11.1.20)

After spending Halloween morning belated birthday shopping with my youngest Godbaby, Bentley and I headed to Martinsville for a baby shower.  I had to rep for my Aggies the entire weekend since it would've been GHOE.  Thanks, COVID-19.

My prize for winning a baby shower game.  

We left VA, then headed to Falls Lake for a night of camping.  Of course, I got lost in the campground trying to find the group.  But we finally made it.  Unfortunately, it rained that Sunday, so we didn't get to go hiking.  But we still had a great time.

                                    

                                    I think Bentley enjoyed sleeping in the van.

                            Thanks to my dad for hooking me up with electricity in Ruby.  

On the way back, I visited my cuzzo.  She shared this picture of my parents, in happier times.  LOL

Kayak & Camp (8.29-8.30.20)

 My first real solo camping trip started with kayaking at Barton's Creek.  The marina area and campground are part of Falls Lake State Recreation in Wake Forest, NC.

I checked into my campsite first, spot 042 at the Holly Point Loop.  I 

I must admit that with the heat, I did get a little touched with motion sickness, but I survived.

The campgrounds were very clean and well maintained.  I'd definitely like to go back another time when the swimming area reopens.

When it was time to leave, my pop-up tent thought it had the best of me.  But I didn't let it defeat me.  Of course, I turned to a YT vid to help me fold it back for storage.
