Chris Has a Solution - See Comments]We've been here for well over a month now and decided it was high time that we took some shots around the park to give you a better sense of things, at least in terms of our neighbors/contacts here, but since you've already seen some of our neighbors via the recent 'Campfire' entry in this blog, today we treat you to shots of their rigs. While each of us has our own particular reasons for selecting the type and size of our RV's, it is an interesting experience to hear about what other folks think and sometimes we'll tuck away a thought or two that may be applied to our own RV, either immediately or for some future consideration.
Why is Eagle's Landing an RV Park? Thanks to a conversation with Judie and Dick, owners of this park [and Recreation USA Camping Club], there are three primary types of places to stay with your RV. An RV Park like this (and our preferred type) is a property with sites that are pretty much open (not filled with trees). There are some, not many, recreation facilities such as perhaps horseshoes and a clubhouse (like here), laundry, showers and usually a communal campfire location. This is also the type of place that we stayed at in Folkston, GA. Another type, like where we stayed in White Springs, is referred to as an RV Campground. These are generally heavily wooded, have campfire rings at each site and are frequently located at more remote locations. Finally, there is the RV Resort that will frequently include such things as pools, a host of organized activities, etc. As I said, so far the RV Park seems best to suit our needs since we're not real big on acorns dropping on our roof through the night, we prefer beaches over pools and we're not all that fond of bingo.
Time for a new challenge? You've seen Crestview mentioned in some earlier blog entries. Between here and Crestview and a bit to the North lies a community that is not large enough to support a bank but has a school, a pharmacy, a couple of eating establishments, a grocery store, a feed store and a museum. If you choose to accept it, your challenge today is to name the town, the museum and tell a bit about the contents of the museum. BTW...there was NO response to the most recent question so it is possible for someone to score twice in one day!
Unlike most of the photos we've sent your way on earlier blog entries, each of these photos has some sort of caption associated with it - usually the names that belong with the rigs.

Is the town Baker, and the museum the "Baker Block Museum" which contains relics from the old General Store that it used to be?
Dead on Chris. Either you are getting really good at getting on top of these things or I'm going to have to strive toward making things a bit more obtuse.
Great Job Chris - and speedy!
I think I was just feeling particularly ambitious to figure it out ... no need to go and get all extra complicated on me! ;)
Well, if you are still feeling ambitious, there is always the question from the blog entry on the 2nd of January - "Along the Road - First Day of 2008" - that remains unresolved. There's not been a single response to that one!
This was in from Linda at 1:58 EST on Wednesday, 16 January, 2008:
The Walton County Heritage Museum located in DeFuniak Springs, FL. The museum is housed in a former L&N Train Depot which was restored in 2000 and has been the home of the museum since 2002. The museum contains memorabilia from past and current DeFuniak Springs business such as the H&M Hotdog restaurant, Allison's Grocery; a replica of the former Governor Sidney J. Catts' front porch; a 130 year old desk from the Knox Hill School and various yearbooks; a collection of articles/information regarding the
author of the Pansy books, Isabelle Alden, who wrote over 200 books and who's Pansy Cottage was located near the museum and information regarding
Jacqueline Cochran who was the first woman to break the sound barrier.
Well...That is all very interesting and gives us something else to check out while are here; however, it is not the correct answer since DeFuniak Springs is NOT located between here and Crestview but is about 10 to 12 miles to the East of Crestview. Chris already answered the question correctly (last night) and you can see his response in the comments at the end of the blog entry at http://debandty.blogspot.com/2008/01/eagles-landing-rv-park-neighbors.html - the museum we were referring to is in Baker, a town not much bigger than Holt, but just big enough to have about 3 times the facilities of various sorts compared to Holt.
Thanx again for the DeFuniak Springs info which we'll probably follow up on on some nicer day (nothing but lots of rain here today) - we know there is also a winery there. As a matter of fact, there was a 91 year old guy and his wife living next to us for about a week who actually have a home in DeFuniak Springs. I'm not quite sure why someone travels only 20 miles to stay in an RV Park, but they evidently were happy for the change in scenery (not that it changes a whole bunch in such a distance).
