We arrived in Zanesfield on Wednesday, 5/22, around 5:30 PM.

Thursday was a get-settled kind of day with a little play mixed in with a lot of visiting. Bo, Shannon, Ron, Don, and the crowd had the place looking great.

The normal-play terrain was converted from 4 lanes to just 3 lanes to allow for stringing while maintaining 50cm distance to the surround boards. Thirteen more temporary courts were strung into lanes in what is normally just an entrance road to  Hall-Fawcett Park.

 

On the way to Zanesfield

 

We made the drive north to Ohio on May 22. Shirley took this picture out of the truck window of Pilot Mountain, located fairly near Mount Airy, NC.

Andy Griffith was from Mount Airy and used the small NC town as the basis for the fictional town of Mayberry on his television show. Pilot Mountain gave him the name for the fictional town of Mount Pilot.
