Ok....here we go....
After finally shaking hands with Marty in Okeechobee...we were off to camp. Keeping up with Marty on the highway is not an easy feat. I wasn't the only one excited to get to camp!
It was quickly obvious to me that going to camp never gets old to Marty. He loves the place, and enjoys showing it to guests. Biggie would meet us there.
I left my car on the camp road before it got too rough, loaded my gear in Marty's truck and it was off to camp!!
I'd met Biggie last year, but had never hunted with him. This was gonna be cool!
Unloading the groceries....

Marty's phone rings, he talks for a minute then hands me the phone saying something to the effect that Cade has something wrong with him, and he wants you home. Instantly my heart is in my throat, thinking something is wrong!
I grab the phone and hear giggling...it's Gene Wensel...they got me! Let the games begin!!!
After a slight problem with an electrical breaker, and they had me getting in my camo, and it wa time for my first buggy ride. Marty and Biggie were just going to ride, scout, and gather trail cams while I hunted to get ready for tomorrow.
The place was incredible! Bigger, badder, and more beautiful around every turn in the trail.
Before I knew it I was at my first stand and up the tree. Good luck from Marty and Biggie and they were off leaving me to enjoy the Florida wilderness.....
