NCT at Poor Farmers Aug 2012

 

 

Monthly campout for Southwestern Buckeyes #1 at Poor Farmers Campground in Fletcher Ohio.  Beautiful weekend with no rain. On Thursday we went to a Chinese Restaurant Buffet in Piqua. We went out to eat in Urbana at the Farmers Daughter on Friday.   Lionel tried to get the Farmer's Daughter but failed.  We had a carry in meal on Saturday with Barbara providing the hot chicken sandwiches and Sunday morning, the Balcoms cooked pancakes for everyone.  We enjoyed card games such as 31 and golf.  I think the new name for golf is Oh S***.  We ended the weekend with a great ice cream cake that Barbara Slusser provided.  The Slussers were great hosts for the weekend.
