We arrived from Austin, Texas, in the middle of the afternoon. After driving through some confusing roads through the forests of the state park. Eventually we made it to a rather nice cabin, alone amongst the trees. It had 8 bunk beds, 2 double beds, a fold out double bed, a kitchen, an open veranda at the front, and a veranda at the back surrounded by fly netting. This was not only for the five of us. We would soon be sharing it with another group. They had started in New York, travelling across country, down to New Orleans, from which they were coming to us now.
We unpacked our gear before dressing up in the random bits of cheap clothing we had picked up from the thrift stores of Austin. Mostly we had managed to gather animal print outfits- which nicely surprised the other group as they arrived.
The other group was mostly Brits, with one Korean guy in tow.
We played "corn hole" for a while, our group having our own set. This game involves two wide wooden boards, each at a angle, with a hole in the middle. The boards are placed a distance apart and each player stands by a board, with four bean bags. Each then takes it in turns to throw bean bags. Getting a bag on the board is one point, and into the hole is three points. We'd gotten quite good at this over the last few weeks, so it was good to show off to another group.
(NB There's a few different ways to play Corn Hole, depending on State.)
We had a dinner of pasta and garlic bread, before having a quite British party of drinking and chatting, interspersed by both British and American drinking games.
Come the morning, as the first one up, I began the great clean up. Some how we managed to get the place back to ship shape before leaving, each group going our separate ways.
