Tuesday, though, we kicked ourselves a bit just to get started. We went. The pictures are illustrative of the experience.
What it is is rain.
But in this case, it is smoke. Elvin made his world-famous peach cobbler baked in a Dutch oven over an open fire. Which was upwind of the tent. It was worth it. Table games were played under the tent, and there were sunny periods between downpours.
One of the preachers (there are two) in the group. Richard is every bit as pleasant as he looks.
The firepit fishing hole on our space. Bring your rod and lure, try your luck.
Wiener's opinion of the whole thing.
On the way home Thursday morning, we arrived in Sulphur Springs at 10:50 which was perfect timing for a stop at the Iron Kettle. BBBH had a beautiful everything-in-it-omelet with a lovely biscuit and hot tea. I had the hand breaded grouper with baked potato and fruit, water with lemon.
Note to self: Order that again. One of the best pieces of deep fried fish I ever had. The breading was better than dessert. Which I skipped.

I'm with Wiener.
Weiner got it right but oh - peach cobbler! And grouper? Honkin' big fish, a tad on the ugly side and did I mention they are huge! (I lived in the Bahamas - grouper and conch are dietary staples. I never want to see or eat another bit of either)
Vee, fuddy-duddy.
Grace, I am glad I am not burned out on fishy food. Yet on the other hand I never had the experience of living in the Bahamas.
I too am siding with Wiener. That grouper sounds great -- almost as good as grilled salmon.
Looks like a fun time despite the rain.
Chuck, fish was good but grilled salmon is a favorite. I'm
Bob, good company trumps bad weather. So long as it's not too bad,
Funny conch story - I was walking through downtown Nassau, lunch time, streets crowded with tourists, as always. I hear this plaintive little American voice behind me say "But I don't want to eat no more conch" Makes me laugh to this day - I could totally empathize with that kid.
Conch in the Bahamas is like grits in the South - whatever you order you get the option of conch fritters on the side. Then there is conch salad, fried conch, conch soup, conch stew - if it has more than one ingredient then definitely one WILL be conch!
Grace, that is funny. Thanks. I can see how after a certain length of time on that diet one might just want to conch herself in the head.
