March 2006 Outing

Arcadia Peace River RV Park,         Arcadia, Florida

 Finding new ground to venture has become a challenge of our new Wagon Master Ralph Wilson.  Ralph selected Arcadia Peace River which is centrally located in the State and had not been explored by the Treasure Coast Travelers.   Some of our members had camped there but had not visited this beautiful campground in years.  Unique to this campground is the Peace River.  It offers canoe rentals for a peaceful cruise on the river and for the curious camper a hunt for shark’s teeth.  The campground remains very beautiful considering it was hit by the storms and is still in restoration. 

TCT members Frank & Claudia Mays, Ralph & Barbara Wilson and Billy & Gail Barnes hooked up with retired WIT Eastern Reps John and Marlyn Fisher.  John & Marlyn live close by and were able to join us all day Saturday.  We had a perfect weekend for this campout.  The weather cooperated and we were able to find a little shade that allowed us to spend time outside.  A fun day was enjoyed by all – playing games, eating home-made ice cream and keyboard music– not to mention the wonderful meals we shared.  We all decided to have dinner at a local restaurant that John and Marlyn recommended.

We held a short business meeting and received our Wagon Master’s schedule for TCT’s campouts through November. (see below)  During this meeting it was realized that our members were taking off for summer vacation and we would not meet again until September at Blueberry Hill RV Park in Bushnell, FL. 

This will be the last newsletter until we return in September.

Enjoy your summer…Gail Barnes
