| SERRO SCOTTY CAMPER ENTHUSIASTS |
| March's Enthusiast Group NE Chapter of SSCE Jeannie Keith heads up this annual event at Circle 9 Camp Ground here is the letter Jeannie sent me about the camp out Once again this year there was a demand to repeat this fun camp out in the fall of New Hampshire . But, this campout was different. We were having a weather forcast of part of a hurricane heading our way Saturday. But, that didn’t stop people from camping as we had 25 campers and 51 people (I will have to check my records to be exact), 1 cat and 2 dogs. The animals were the best behaved---only kidding. People arrived slowly from Rhode Island , Massachusetts , Maine , New York and New Hampshire . The only down side was that the campground hadn’t finished their work in the group area where we were camping so we all hudled in a portion of the area sharing electrical hookups. Some tripped the circuit breaker during the nite with their electric heaters so it was an interesting morning for sure when people slowly came out of the campers with their stories. We did not loose power so it was a surprise to us. We were lucky to have ‘’Buffy’’ aka David Rowell there to work this thru with the campground owner who said, ‘’don’t use those heaters, grab an extra blanket’’. Yeah right. David went to each of the few circuit breakers that were working and figured out which one took what power and got us all connected so no one would loose power. Thank you David. With the hurricane looking to be arriving late afternoon Saturday we tried to do the Thanksgiving feast pot luck a bit earlier. 25 trailers and lots of people I cooked 2 turkeys and someone brought ham to add to all the side dishes and desserts brought by each family------mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, cranberry relish, cranberry jello mold, sweet potato, squash, creamed onions, meatballs a la Michael Coumas, pies, special dessert by Ken Scott and cake. I have the list of the rest but have to find it to finish the food. Anyway, the wind started and so did the rain, but it didn’t damper our spirits or fun. Just made it a bit messy. We put the tarp up to a large trailer in storage for the winter and all managed to get plenty to eat. Eventually the rain subsided a bit and we were able to do the Christmas Yankee Swap around the fire. The only part that we cancelled was the ‘’costume’’ judging. Ofcourse, we all got up Sunday AM to nice weather and it was time to clean up and head home. But, it was a memorable end of the season campout for sure. We felt that Jeanne and NE Chapter of SSCE should be the first Enthusiasts of the month. Good job Jeannie and the Chapter for braving the weather and cold. |
