Grand Lake Golf & RV Resort in Orange Lake

February 13, 2008

Yesterday we drove to Orange Lake and the Grand Lake Golf & RV Resort between Gainesville and Ocala.  A very nice place with very large lots and all the amenities.  Alesa used the exercise room this morning and came back full of joy.  A little less joy might be good.  We were expecting storms last night so we battened down the hatches but it was very nice until it started to rain about 5:30.  We had a lot of rain but no problems.  It did not rain enough to get the lake back up to the boat slips as it has been pretty dry here.  I didn't feel any wind problems last night but an oak branch fell over by the golf course onto some guys pick up.  It was pretty crumpled.  We were hoping to golf but the threat of rain and the occasional gust kept us off the course.  We did use the putting green after returning from the Ocala National Forest with Roni & Denny.  Mike & Marilyn Stone, friends from Habitat, sent us a picture of the deck we were unable to finish due to the rain days.  A 20 person team from a local refinery showed up to help that Saturday and quite a bit was acccomplished.
