Slept late this morning, didn't get up until almost 9:00, and by then, our neighbors had moved out and we had the place all to ourselves. After breakfast and chores, as well as doing some computer work, we headed out, first to drive to one of the free campgrounds here in the West Tract of the Green Swamp Wilderness, discovering there were actually two campgrounds that allowed horse camp, but the Ashley Camp was beautiful, with lots of old, gorgeous trees and a good shot at a satellite signal, so that one's on our list for when we head back down next winter. Then we went over to the new Richer Farms near Trilsby to visit our friend Cherryl. We had boarded with her for a few days on Staten Island back in October 2011, and had so enjoyed each other's company, I contacted her when I discovered we were right in her back yard while staying here at Colt Creek. I knew from our facebook connection that she had just finished remaking her 20 acres into a horse boarding facility, and we were interested in how it came out. She welcomed us with open arms, and our planned one hour over coffee turned into 2.5 hours of rapid conversation and a tour of her incredible new barn and facilities. We finally had to part, and then Hubby and I made two more stops, one to get gas and the other to pick up a few things at Publix, before heading back to camp. We discovered just one other camper had come in during the day, so despite the holiday weekend, it's going to be quite quiet for the rest of our time here, which is perfectly fine with us! Had a relaxing evening, as usual!
