Hillsborough River GTG, In the Beginning

The WomenRV GTG here in Florida has begun as more folks are finding their way past the entrance gate and are winding their way back to the campground.

Before we share some pictures of the state park, Remi wanted folks to know that he got to walk on the beach before we left St. Augustine.  Notice that there is no surf rushing at his feet.

Also before making the final drive over to Hillsborough River, I made an over night stop at Sportsman Cove and was able to park next to Liz.  On Friday morning before the final leg, Liz and I made a grocery run and stopped by to visit Irmi, Steve and Carol.  Steve and Irmi will show back up in Saturday's pictures as they arrived at Hillsborough this afternoon.  Carol b will be showing up later if her plans work out.

Irmi, Liz and Steve....explaining all the responsibilities of being the Assistant Sultan at these GTG's while totally out numbered by all of the women. Dock would be proud!

Now after setting up at Hillsborough, I got to meet Gloria and Paco (the dog).

 Guess who arrived around 4pm this afternoon?  Judy was able to back her rig in without any video record of the event.

Introductions were made and we hung out at Dawn's picnic table for awhile before heading off for supper.  After posting this picture, Dawn may not allow me to come visit her site anymore! Beth has taught us well.....I'll blame it on Beth.....

Some of us headed over to take advantage of the spaghetti  dinner.  We got a private song or two from the evening's musician. We guessed that he was trying to convince us to return at 6:30 for his concert.  We didn't.

After dinner we took a short hike to work off a meat ball or two.....or maybe it was the garlic bread...We headed down towards the river.

Steve was really hoping that the suspension bridge had more bounce. He got over the disappointment after awhile.

Irmi, Steve, Gloria and Dawn.

And tomorrow many more will arrive. The campground is full tonight and the moon is beautiful.  The dogs both got baths this afternoon and the laundry has been done.  We are ready to hike and kayak and play.
