What a fantastic first start to the season.  Met up with some friends - made a night of it big time.  Steak, potatoes, stories, guitar playing and about 1 ba-zillion laughs.  Camp host was great, retired Navy officer who was very accommodating to us all.  Our friends and two kids didn't have reservations and they graciously let them stay with us which was really nice.  


Pod of course was a dream. We let friends use it the week prior as they were PCS'ing to Texas and needed a place to stay while they were in transition. 

Stockade Lake is GORGEOUS.  The campsites are really well laid out.  A few have really nice rock stove type dwellings.  We didn't get one, but they looked pretty awesome if you lucked out enough to score a site with one.  We will DEF go back there - don't think I saw a bad spot anywhere on the camp ground.  

Gave us an itch to spend more time on the water....thinking of a canoe.....more to follow on that.  

Happy trails campers.  Hope you all are starting your camping seasons with a bang.
