Zolfo Springs, FL - Friends

It's been a busy first weekend for us. We left Ft Lauderdale on Friday and headed to Zolfo Springs for our first few days on the road. Our friends Jim and Chris have been workkamping here for the winter. Jim's a Datastorm Installer and we had made the decision to install the satellite internet dish on our rig in order to trade more easily. To our surprise, we learned that our friend Glenn, from Jacksonville, was visiting for the weekend as well. It was a wonderful reunion of old scuba-diving buddies...
Here's our campsite(s) - our rig is on the left, Jim and Chris is on the right, and Glenn is smack in the middle in his tent...













Cheers!













Glenn, Chris and I all have similar Canon SLR cameras now, so the weekend also turned into a photoworkshop. Each of us trying to share and teach one another some tricks about using our cameras or photography in general. This was a great opportunity for the three of us.













We also learned to play PickleBall. Here's Chris showing us the ropes.

This is a game played on a badminton court, with a net like tennis, a paddle like ping-pong, a ball like whiffle ball, scoring like volleyball, and a meshing of probably 10 more sports - but I'm still trying to learn how to play this game, so I really don't know what I'm saying. If you really want to learn, click here for the Official PickleBall Rules. We haven't come across this sport too much in our travels, but apparently it is quite popular in RV Parks. It's quite fun once you get used to the variations of paddle length, court size, and weight of the ball.
