Well it's been a long time coming, but my camera and I are headed back to Goodyear next January. Since I've decided to go back I've been combing through this blog (I am glad I've kept it up.) and my Face Book posts on the RFC page. Early on I certainly was the eager beaver about going to Camp. Why not I say! It was an exciting and great experience both times I went. The best part are the friendships I've made by going. Some of my best friends I have today were made by going to RFC. Obviously a price can be put one the expense of going to camp. The experience and friendships made by going are truly priceless. I can't stress this enough. Since my last Fantasy Camp, what have I been doing? Playing baseball of course. Since 2016, I played in tournaments in Dyersville Iowa (Field of Dreams), Durham North Carolina (Bull Durham) and Cooperstown New York (Hall of Fame). Also been playing every summer with my fellow campmates for the Cincinnati Dragons 50's (2) Roy Hobbs Baseball team. I still get a kick out of putting on the uniform every game day. I tell people I still play ball. They assume softball. I guess that is natural. I reiterate I play BASEBALL and I catch.
All the weekend tourneys, RFC union games and playing with the Dragons have been basically extensions of Camp in a way, since just about everyone I play with have been to camp themselves. So yeah it's been almost 7 years since since attending in Goodyear, but I never left the camp fraternity, and that is the best way to describe it a true fraternity.
I've said this for years. If anyone told me when I was in my mid thirties I would be playing more baseball in my mid fifties than golf. I would have laughed out loud!! But it's certainly been true. Here are a few photos from the last few years.
