Some couples came in as early as Tuesday for the camp out. The main attraction for the week was leaf peeping along the small winding mountain and valley roads nearby. The fall colors were vivid, with various shades of yellows, oranges, reds, and browns. The nearby pumpkin and cabbage farms were in mid harvest. Some of our members went to the Fall Pumpkin Festival and Farmers Market in nearby Hillsville. Others wandered around the small shops of Galax.
On Friday night Kirk and Randy of Campers Inn, a Tiffin Motor Home dealership, drove up from Mocksville, NC to treat us all to a steak dinner. They also brought all the sides, drinks and desserts. Thanks to all the great people from Campers Inn for doing this.

After dinner it was the men vs the ladies in a game of five second trivia. The men won, but just barely. The rest of the night and the next day most of us huddled against the howling wind in the campgrounds shelter building, or someones motor home, to socialize.
On Saturday night we had a club sponsored dinner of a nice warm, thick and hearty soup. Everyone brought something else to share. Way to much food! Our host, Robert, who owns the campground, made sure we had enough heat in the shelter building. He also brought a bushel of fresh picked cabbage for anyone to take one or two home with them. After dinner we had our chapter meeting. We finalized our campout plans for 2015 (see the upcoming events page). The meeting was short and it was time for a guess who game, with most of our members bringing their baby, elementary, and high school graduation pictures. They were all placed on poster boards and whoever's picture stumped the most members got a prize.
Sunday morning was sunny but chilly. Everyone said their goodbyes and we all headed out; until next time.
