After a 2 month layoff for the Christmas holidays, it was great to go camping again! This was the first time at Tomoka State Park for the Mighty Kiowa, and by all accounts, everyone really liked this location and had a great time. We'll definitely keep this park in mind for future outings! Given the near Arctic conditions Friday and Saturday night, this was a good choice with electric at each site to power those electric heaters! (For the record, I remain unconvinced that humans are causing any global warming!)
After our Saturday morning orientation with the Park Ranger, it was fun to explore the park - lots of beautiful woods and scenic waterfront. And, given the cold weather, that chili for Saturday dinner hit the spot, along with Roy's Atomic Buffalo...er...uhhh...Droppings for appetizers!
"What do you mean, I only get 2 slices of bacon"?
As always, I'm including some photos for your enjoyment. I didn't get as many as usual; with everyone in separate sites and doing their own thing during the day, there were not as many photo opps., but I still got a few good ones.
Last but not least, we got to say Thank You to our previous chief, Chief Diving Eagle (retired) and current Eola Federation Medicine Man, Mark Marshall. Thanks Mark for the campfire stories, and for being chief of the Mighty Kiowa for 2 years. Thanks also to our Hunters - great job as always! And of course, thanks to everyone for participating - we wouldn't get to enjoy your kids if you didn't bring 'em!
Get Ready for Moss Park next month - it's definitely convenient and close by, and always a lot of fun. I also expect to email the tribe later in the week regarding our May trip to Anasatsia State Park. Remember, no procrastinating on campsite reservations; our Tribal COO, Larry the Cable Guy, has issued the following recommendation - "Git er done"!
