Sun is out, let's walk around Tall Pines Campground's...

We walked around the campground, as much as I could with my bum foot.

 Wayne had gone up earlier for registration and pick up T-shirts and sweatshirts, goodie bags and rally info. In the field Lance dealers and Palomino dealer brought in new pickup campers for all to look and walk through. Holy Cow??? How much did you say they cost?!?!?!?!?!?    No thanks, we'll keep ours for now.
From Thursday to Sunday the Shore Beef & BBQ was set up for lunch/dinner. Wayne got a pulled pork sandwich with baked beans for $6.90. I tasted the pork, very good.
Early afternoon, under the big party tent, was the silent auction. Themed baskets from all around and other great items also. Everyone had a number and you walked around and put your number and your bid down on the paper. In the end they close the auction and collect the bids. Who bids the highest price pays and receives the item. I was interested in the steps for the back of the camper when it's on the truck. But, Wayne said they wouldn't work, so I stopped my bidding and just watched.

From 4:00pm - 7:00pm Helicopter rides. $45.00 a person for a 15 minutes. We didn't do it,  but the couple camping next to us did. They took some pictures from the air. It was really a windy afternoon too.

You can see the rows of campers in the fields and how close we are to the Pocomoke Sound.
We are the camper with the red truck, cool huh???

This is a nice shot of the grounds. We are in the first row on the left of the picture. At the bottom left, behind the office/store, is where the helicopter was landing and taking off.

After watching the helicopter, we went up to get free Cheeseburgers in Paradise, followed by giveaways and a Hawaiian dance party in the tent. We wore are hawaiian shirts, Wayne had shorts on. Crazy. It was cold, I had my winter coat on. We didn't stay to long for the dance. Earlier in the day we had bought wood for a campfire at the site. I think I stayed outside almost 1 hour. I was cold. The wind was really blowing hard.
