The two RV Gypsies and their new RV friends, Doug and Renee took a short walk. Just outside the campground, they found a free driving range, with golf balls and clubs just sitting there waiting to be used. NEAT! The signs were not in good condition, but it is such a great thing for volunteers in a community to offer this opportunity to people. | |
