As per usual, Friday was heartbreakingly warm and lovely for the drive to North Carolina for NCRF. As per usual, Friday night was warm and lovely, too. I spent most of the evening (and part of the night) hanging out at the campground with sweetpea86, hthottie, kurakai, macdobhran, cellymcfae, danicia, cheezerweav, ladyprivvy, ladylyonesse and America's Sweethearts ( Read more... )
