Today was the long haul from north of Orlando to Pensacola FL. We showcased Azalea Trace on
9/18-20/2016. Since we were staying overnight in this Acts facility, we will show some of the changes.
 |
| There is now a gate and guardhouse (sorry, seen from behind) |
 |
| When they put in the new driveway, they took out all the azaleas! |
 |
The RVs and boats have disapppeared,
and now there are garden plots |
 |
| Each garden plot has an official name tag |
 |
| The big addition are a dozen duplex villas |
 |
| The pond used to be hidden in the woods, but now can be seen from the road |
 |
| The garden apartments still exist |
 |
Oak Bridge Terrace used to be on the same drive as
the main entrance, but is now reached via a separate road |
We visited Shirley L, a longtime friend of Kent's parents, in OakBridge, but she did not really remember us.

the circa 2012 Sierra Nevada Beer Camp |
