It's been a dry spell lately, I haven't hit the garage sales the last couple weekends, however, I did do something remotely garage sale related two weekends back. My son is a Cub Scout and each Fall and Spring, the pack does a family camp out. Typically, we stay at 1 of 2 local parks -- Jefferson Barracks or Mastondon State Park. This time, we stayed at Teamsters Camp 688 in Pevely, Missouri. It took a moment to register, but this is where brothers Bobby and Gary Bradshaw stayed, as detailed in a
previous post. I was a bit surprised at the almost elitist atmosphere -- afterall, aren't these union folks your hard-working, salt of the earth laborers?
A guard greeted us at the entrance and allowed us to proceed once she had taken down our information. The first thing I saw was the waterpark:
then the clubhouse
followed by the golf course:
There's a large lake there below where we camped. I can imagine Bobbie and Gary swam in that lake as part of their summer camp experience.
There was RV camping
but we camped amongst the trees
My son and I had a good time, lots of activities, campfire and nighttime hike. But to quote Bobbie, we "messed" the family and was glad to be home again.
