Sunset at Grey's Point by Larry Welford
“Small” can be beautiful. Our nine ODC rigs, a small group, gathered at Grey’s Point Camp July 17 for a weekend camp out. A rain storm Friday night flooded many of the camp sites, but our group was on high ground and stayed relative dry. Saturday’s weather was nearly perfect. The pool was packed, golf carts buzzed the roadways, dogs were walked, and some folks ventured into neighboring communities for adventure and shopping. Most enjoyed participating in small group conversations under a shade awning while activities whizzed around us.

Our Trip Captains were Leo and Norah Zerhusen, Kay Karstaedt, Ed and Kyoto Alexander, and Andrea Hornung. Jim and Peggy Settles helped plan the weekend before finding they could not attend. Our assigned sites were relatively close together and the campground provided a tent shelter we used for shade, meals, happy hour, and visiting. We thank our Trip Captains, and we appreciate their work to provide this wonderful weekend for us. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves very much, especially those who sat around the campfire Saturday night.
Special mention: Our esteemed president called the Chapter meeting to order Sunday morning and adjourned it six minutes later. This must be a record for the current administration, never to be experienced again. Way to go Larry!
Luray RV Resort is the site of our August camp out. Advanced reservations indicate this will be another small gathering where folks get to visit one another and enjoy a camping experience. We hope to see you there. Many members will be on-the-road and/or vacationing elsewhere that weekend. We will miss you and wish you safe travels.
The Coyners sent an email June 22 giving details of the September 25 – 27 camp out in Williamsburg. This will be our last chapter camp out of this season. We hope you can be there. To insure you are parked with the ODC group, the deadline for reservations is August 1. Call American Heritage Campground today at 888-530-2267 or 757-566-2133.
