As usual, we had a great time during our Good Sam Chapter Camp-Out at Crosswinds Family Campground in Linwood, NC.
Friday, the group went to the North Carolina Transportation Museum in nearby Spencer, NC. This is a large facility that has played a very important role in the railroad steam engine era, and now is a repair and restoration facility for railroad cars and engines of all kinds. We started our visit with a train ride through the property while we got an overview of the facilities that were available. Our tour guide then spent two hours showing us through the main restoration building while sharing his extensive knowledge of trains and their operation. Volunteers and donations are the main source for what is accomplished there, and the results are very impressive.The group returned to the campground where we all enjoyed a pot luck salad and dessert supper, followed by Dominoes and conversation.
Saturday was a little more relaxed for us. The day started with a BYOC (bring your own cereal) breakfast that also included breakfast breads, followed by our chapter meeting. We made an excursion out into the surrounding country side to locate a post office where we could mail our taxes. Saturday night, the group went to the Ocean View Seafood Restaurant in nearby Lexington for a delicious dinner, then returned to the campground for time in the clubhouse for more conversation and Dominoes.
Sunday, almost everyone hit the road. The camp-out hosts were staying one more day and we decided to do the same. Hank was able to get some more computer work taken care of. We spent a pleasant evening with Linda and Philip Hayes under the pavilion, again playing Dominoes, until after 11 P.M.
This morning, it's time to get the wheels on Little House moving again, as we head back east to Raleigh, where we'll spend the next week.
