Hey! What's this white stuff in May?

When we arrived at Sportsman's Campground on May 12Th, 2007, the weather was mild, sunny and quite pleasant. We began our workamping duties on Monday, the 14Th by raking pine straw and cleaning the campsites. There are seven cabins for rent and each of those needed to be opened and cleaned in prep for the upcoming season. Five of the seven cabins are named after John Wayne movies (Hondo, Cowboys, McClintock, Chisum and Rio Grande). John Wayne actually spent some time in the area shooting The Cowboys and parts of True Grit and a picture of him with two of the local children rests on a display shelf in the campground store. Buddy and I were cleaning one of the cabins May 23rd when the skies turned gray and suddenly it began to snow! The snowfall continued throughout the night and May 24Th dawned clear and bright with snow clinging to the trees, covering areas of the ground and built up on our car and RV. We took a ride up to the Poison Park trail head parking lot to view the deeper accumulation up there (the campground sits at 8,000 feet and the trail head is somewhere around 9,000 feet)and Buddy couldn't resist a snowball fight.
By the middle of the afternoon, most of the snow was gone but that was a unique experience for Florida folks!
