2012-04-04 Pre-Hill Country Rally

We arrived in the early afternoon and were given the 1st spot as you enter the park

Ms Susy as usual began by setting the party atmosphere

Many of our forum friends that we have traveled with while on 'Vacations' were already here including 

Big Greg & Judy, Jeff & Susan, Stan & Connie, Paul & Dottie and Mel & Dee

Sadly missing were good friends Bill & Judye, Ron & Lois, Dave & Trish & Tank :(

After setting up we realized it was 5 O'clock (No Really it was !!) and time for the normal HitchHiker social

(Did I really say normal and HitchHiker social together .. Oops!)

 Lots of friends we hadn't seen since the October rally near Nashville TN and friends we had not made yet?!

 Of course there were introductions and discussions of what was happening in the world ... 

I did tell you it was a social right ? 

... so we left solving all the National/World Issues until the more formal meetings :)

These next couple of pictures I borrowed from Big Greg and Paul's blogs  .. Thanks Guys!

(Better to ask forgiveness than permission)

 Behind the patio is a very high/steep cliff that descends to Johnson Creek ...
We were told that the day before, some Young'ens were diving/jumping from the bluff into the creek.....
Man ...I can barely remember the days when I was invicible !!

It's very beautiful in the Hill Country this time of year

Lots of wild flowers

 And other assorted interesting facts

Well tomorrow the 5th is the official start of the rally, but for us, this was a great way to start

Next up are the activities and places we visited during the rally

Cya soon
