a whole lot of chillin' goin' on


On Tuesday we left the Elks Lodge in Jacksonville that we'd been at for a week and came to Macclenny to the local Moose Lodge - just down the street from our Chester. Nice rv facilities they have here - friendly (but way too smokey) lodge as well.

We got the bikes out yesterday ~ yup, even mine came out ~ and went for a ride we've done often from here over to Lake City about 40 miles west.
The main reason we headed over there was to see yet another Moose Lodge that has rv facilities.

The Elks have a great group of books that show all the Lodges throughout the country, listed by state with a map of each state indicating where the lodges are. The books also indicate the ones that have facilities and lists what type of hook ups they have.
The Moose (as well as the American Legion), unfortunately, don't have this great resource available to their members. It is often very challenging (and quite often happens by accident) to find what Moose Lodges and Legion Posts have facilities and what those facilities entail.
Alas, I digress (once again). When Rick posted our datastorm location the other day when we arrived here in Macclenny he also went to the map that shows fellow datastormers in the area and saw that one was at the Lake City Moose Lodge so that was our plan for yesterday - to explore that Lodge.
The photos in this post were all (and about 40 others!!) taken there. Isn't it lovely and peaceful?
The down side (if there is one) is that if we were there Sir would be beside himself to get into that lake (Watertown Lake). THAT would not be good - there are gators in that there lake!

We had a great ride, met friendly people at the Lodge and certainly appreciated another option of a place to be!
