Florida Pan Handle/Brewton Alabama

Our third base stay was at a joint Navy and Air Force base in Milton Florida, which is about a 40 minute drive to the Country Club of Brewton, Alabama.  

This is a small RV park with only 10 sites, which is why we had to wait a few extra days to get one.  They also have some tent camping sites, none of which were being used at this season of the year, due to the cool nights.  All the sites are back in and have full hook ups.  The campground is also located just outside the gate to the base but we still feel very safe as the base is pretty much in the middle of no where and the Navy police patrol it regularly.  We can only faintly hear revelry and the anthem in the mornings as there are no speakers located in the RV Park.  

Many of the people I met in Arizona have spent time in Florida and say part of the reason they go to Arizona now is that Florida has too many bugs.  I would have to agree, as there have been a few that have gotten inside the trailer and lots outside as well.  

Each day we have been making the trip to Brewton to play with the group I played with previously.  John has enjoyed the course and the fellows we have been paired with. 

The course has some pretty holes, with more trees and water for John to enjoy:



Our nearest neighbors in the campground are a couple with a 6 week old baby and two dogs.  He fellow is a pilot working at the base.  One of the dogs always barks at me when I am working on their side of the trailer, where all my utility connections are located.  They quickly hush him up.

We played every day from Saturday to Saturday, with the exception of Tuesday, when it seemed there would be a smaller than usual group and I had arranged for a local service man to come and check out a small water leak that was causing me concern.  The leak turned out to be very minor and was easily fixed. 

We continued to follow the U of A games until they lost on Thursday night in the sweet 16 to Xavier.  

Sunday we relaxed, did chores and prepared to move on.
