Lake Louisa SP (March 7-13)

The Monday - Well, it was bound to happen sometime. We were only about 20 miles from arriving when we had a blowout on the inside rear dually. Thankfully, we were right on a long right turn lane, so there was plenty of room. We called Giod Sam Emergency Road Service and were back on the road in a couple hours. We had a super nice Christian man come to change the tire. We were planning to get new tires as soon as we got back up to Blairsville, but this will hasten that. We got set up in a nice site (60), which has good shade and is a pull-thru.

Tuesday - We called Tire King and got an appointment for tomorrow, then drove over with the truck to make sure we could navigate it ok. We fished the pier on Dixie Lake in the evening and Jihn caught a bunch of little bream on the Tenkara. 

Wednesday - We got the tires replaced. It only took them four hours. We shopped at Home Depot and had breakfast at Cracker Barrel. Both were within walking distance with no major highways. In the evening, we met our friends Julie and Barry, and their friends Beth and her her son Jeff for pizza at Savros, near Lake Griffin State Park. We had a great visit and awesome food. 

Friday - We met John's pastor from DG, Jeff & Judy for lunch at Sarah's Greek Cuisine. We had a great visit with them and learned details of their health struggle last year and how God got them thru it. 

Saturday - Today, our friends Tom and Jane, with their dogs Mocha and Cupcake. They have the same motorhome we have, but a year newer. It was great catching up with them, but sad we will only have one day with them. 

 Sunday - Finally, the wind took a break, so we launched the yaks on Hammond Lake. Joan took the Kiyose with a dark finesse worm, while John used a Clouser on the 6 wt. Joan caught two barely undersized bass, while John lost his only take, which he said looked like a nice crappie. The wind picked up shortly after we got off the water, but it was a beautiful paddle. The kayak launch could certainly use some work, as it is quite mucky getting in and out.
