Asheboro, NC: First Night

Yesterday, we left home for the 2 hour drive to the  Zooland Family Campground near Asheboro, NC.  This weekend is the monthly campout with our local Good Sam Chapter.  Dad has official duties as Vice-President since the current President is undergoing cancer treatments, so there was some 'stuff' to transport including a large sign with the chapter name and info on it.  There are about 15 other chapter couples here enjoying thiis outing.  The campout is undergoing some renovations and has lots of activities for all ages.  We went for a very early supper at the Dixie III Restaurant, a home-cooking type place with great service, good portions and very reasonable prices. Back at the campground, we had some visiting time with neighbors, and at 8 P.M. we gathered in "the Lodge" for ice cream with toppings, and lots of conversation.  I went to bed about 9:15 as my day yesterday started out about 4:30 A.M. We'll be at this campground until Monday morning, and this trip will last almost 3 weeks....but more on that later.
