Our time in Neptune Beach came to an end this morning as we pointed Little House on a southern trek to Orlando for the 2013 Hamcation - a very large hamfest. The trek down I-95 and across I-4 was uneventful and we arrived at the Central Florida Fairgrounds around 1 P.M. We are here for the hamfest as well as getting together with many members of the The Amateur Radio Club of the Wally Byam Caravan Club International - a national RV/ham radio club. Our group is parked at the rear of the property near the lake. We have a waterfront site, and will enjoy watching the many waterfowl who frequent the area.
The hamfest will be on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but many of the group are already here, and hugs and handshakes are plentiful as we get reacquainted with old friends and meet new ones. There will be happy hour gatherings every day at 4 P.M., a pot luck lunch tomorrow, and an informal meeting on Friday where members will have a chance to win some nice prizes. Add all of the hamfest activities to the group's events, and you have 5 days of non-stop action, and an event that we look forward to each year. This year, the weather promises to be pleasantly warm, with not much chance of rain.
