My spring trip to Mayfit started out as usual this year 10 min before I wanted to be gone I was still running around trying to get every thing done! from packing up the new camera I had to buy, the other one had gone to the shop for repairs and still  wasn't back, so I had to do something. I needed a camera for Mayfit  so I  figured it was just as easy to upgrade to the new one! this way I have a back up! if thing Are out of sequence it is because I didn't realize you have to format the cards before you use them in the new one!  well I finally got things loaded and out the door! the ride up was a pleasant one with only a small amount of construction on I 35! I always enjoy this ride once you get past Ponca city there are rolling hills and open feilds of grass with either cows or lots of horses along the way! the roads are not so busy that you cant look around and enjoy the scenery! there are a limited amount of side roads to worry about too! I finally got to the camp about 6pm the place was already filling up good!  I had my tent set up in my usual spot by 630 several people told me they were wondering where I was! I have been trying for years to get here before 3pm but have yet to do it! I made my way up toward the stage area visiting with every one as I went! it takes me at least an hour to make it to the stage if not more! I stop by the CMA tent and several venders

 along with several camps along the way to say hi to my friends as I go! I have said before this event is more like a family reunion! some years you see more family than others, life has a way of getting in the way so some cant make it! there have been times when I would not see some one for 4 or 5 years then there they are again! you talk and catch up on what has been going on! more of the family was able to make it this year! well as the party ran on I got some good pic and enjoyed the company of friends!  the music was good and everyone was having a good time! I did get the opportunity to meet a couple of young soldiers where home on leave! they were having a good time! a couple of the girls made their day! they were on there way back to sand land! thanks for your service guys! about 1230 the band took a break and the stage show got under way! the girls did their best to to entertain the crowd! 
after the show the band came back and played some more! I went to bed about 3am. I got up Saturday morning and headed over to CMA for coffee! while I was there they fed me breakfast too! from there I made my way up by the stage doing odds and ends getting ready for the days events to include meet Tina at the gate so she was there to play games with me! she makes an awesome game partner! if I can get her under the winnie she owns it! I tease her and tell her in the double slow race she has to snuggle! actually if she is up close to me
