We arrived today at a campground in Lady Lake, Florida named Grand Oaks. It is
primarily a horse farm that does horse shows and dog shows as well.

Saturday there will be 100 or so jumpers putting on a show. Looking forward to seeing
that.

The facilities here are great except that their internet sucks :( I was finally able to
connect to my hobbylinebbs.com server to do the weekly file hatch. Hope it gets
through OK.

My wife and I belong to the Caloosa Winnies based in Cape Coral, Florida. It used to be
that you had to own a Winnebago to join, but now anyone with a coach of any make
can join, I do their website for them. Check it out at https://caloosawinnies.org

We will be here until Sunday, then we head to Naples until Thursday for the U.S. Open
Pickleball tournament, This is something we do every year. We get a chance to see the
Pros live, protected by a canopy that shades the players and spectators from the sun
and rain.

Our coach is a 42 foot Itasca Meridian, manufactured by Winnebago. We might make it
to Forest City, Iowa this summer. They have a Grand Rally every year and we have
been to a couple of them in the past.

I guess that's all for now.

I know where that is, I pass it on my way over to visit my parents. They live in The Villages.

I hope that you and your wife enjoy your visit there. From what I've seen, the place is pretty posh! Is this your first visit there?

Our group tries to visit here once per year. It's a regular annual outing.

Dang! That's a big rig! Very nice!

I didn't really want one that large. My wife wanted one with a full wall slide out, and
this is the only one they had in stock. We purchased it 4 years used so we got a good
break on the price.
