State Pow Wow March 2008

What an adventure the State Pow Wow was. We began the odyessey on Friday afternoon, and pointed the mini vans at the most extreme weather in the country. The Ocala area was experincing torrential down pour, severe thunderstorms, hail and tornadoes. Undeterred, the Creek pressed on. One of the Little Braves counted over a dozen accidents on the South bound traffic. Our caravan pressed on through the weather, toll booths, and rest areas. Finally reaching a respite for provisions, the Braves took in the local flavor at the Live Oak Sonny's. A similar experience only to a 4 am Waffle House visit. Oh, the Local Florida color. Due to the stop, we missed the weather, as Air Tran dispatch assured us we would hit the backside of the weather. As we arrived at the Pow Wow, we undertook the dreaded nighttime tent setup, however, we did it under light drizzle. Our original campsite was to be amongst the Brevard Camp Ghetto. However, our ever resourceful scout, Gray Wolf, spied a pristine campsite on the waterfront at Rees Lake. It was quickly claimed by the Mighty Creek. We awoke Saturday to clear, cold skies, and light breezes. The day was filled with activites including war games, reptile demos, indian demos, raffles, bike riding, camping, snow ball fights, bat house swarming, and campfires. It was a full, and active day. Sunday, we hit the trail on our bikes to explore the banks of the Suwannee river. After packing up, we hit the road in caravan style, and pointed the tribe back to Brevard county.
