MAYBERRY CAMPGROUND, MT AIRY, NC.  Since several people have inquired about this blog, it seemed good to make an update, even though we are remaining in the same place for 41 days and posted much about this campground last year.  The usual events also continue, though when something new occurs, I shall post more entries.

On Friday we drove up to Fancy Gap, VA for lunch with the Eagles, old friends from their St Augustine days.  It was a wonderful day with fine weather.  Chuck gave us another golf cart ride around the neighborhood.  They live in a small neighborhood right off the Blue Ridge Parkway, though there is little traffic noise from it.  We shall be visiting them again soon and will post more photos.

We attended church for the second time yesterday at the local OPC church that we attended last year. It is was fun to worship with old acquaintances from last year. 

It seemed like a good idea to show you more about the appearance of this campground.  It is easily one of the finest in the country, with immaculately kept grounds.  With all the rain one gets here, everything is beautifully green.  The kind of grass that grows here appears to be a lush carpet.  The maintenance crew seems to mow the lawn every other day.

In our travels across the country, we have noted the common practice of parking rusted farm equipment along the road as a sort of status symbol.  There are a couple of those at this campground, but more impressive is the virtually new equipment from bygone years, like the following tractors.  Makes one feel like hopping on one to take a ride.

Not to be left out, an occasional rusted out piece of equipment is also on display.
