Lakefield and Wildfire

From Huntsville I drove to Lakefield to be close to Wildfire Golf Club, which was hosting the next GTA AM Tour tournament.  I was only there for two nights, the one before and the one after the tournament.  

The man who's wife runs the resort helped me to back my trailer into the site.  This was quite a feat.  He was very patient with me and gave me good directions/instruction.  We had a lot of room in front of my site in which to maneuver which made it easier.  The first evening there was a fairly severe rainstorm, which brought down some branches from trees in the park, but thankfully none too near my trailer.  The storm also washed out small portions of their roads, which they were quick to repair the following morning. 

The first night, which was Father's day, I visited my best friend from high school, his wife and two children.  It had been a few years since I had last seen them.  His son was quite enamored with my big truck.  He and I played a bit of Frisbee in the back yard.  His daughter played her saxophone for me.  The adults had a good chance to catch up.  Dinner was delicious, New York Strip Steaks BBQ'd, grilled asparagus, baked potatoes with all the fixings, including real fresh chives, corn on the cob, yum.  I had offered to bring wine and desert, which was an apple pie.  

I was able to do laundry while I visited with them and I also borrowed a few DVD's from their vast collection to watch when I have time and perhaps the choice of TV stations is limited.

I wish I had more time because the Galvin Bay Resort seems like a very social place, with nice facilities.  There are a lot of seasonal residents.  I was able to join in with 5 others who were playing a game, that was new to me, my second evening there. 

As pictured, each person has a board with a house and a castle.  You have to move all your pegs from the house to the castle based on the cards you have in your hand and draw per round.  You play in teams and can move your own pieces or those of your team mates.  As in all good board games you can hinder your opponents progress with certain plays.  The team I was on won all 3 of the games that night. 

I liked the sign they had on the way out. 

As for the Capture Scratch sponsored GTA AM Tour Event at Wildfire, I managed to place 3rd in the B flight with an 84.  The winner shot 75, second place was 78 and 4th place was 86.  Capture Scratch is a need company using lots of high tech stuff for presentations, 360 cameras, virtual reality, etc.
