In March of 2017 the Florida Speleological Society (FSS) is hosting the annual Florida Cave Cavort. This is where cavers from all over Florida, or where-ever, convene for fun, food, music, and of course caving. This year Jerry and Sheryl Johnson are hosting the Cavort. On December 3, 2016, several FSS members came out to lend a hand on the farm with preliminary cleaning, tree trimming, fire circle building, mowing, and fence repair. This was the second workday and won’t be the last. It is always a good time on the Johnson Farm, no matter what your there for.

SANTA’S HERE!! Oh, never mind, that’s Bill in a silly hat.Kitty looking a bit like she is making a prison escape. Next cleanup we are all wearing stripped clothing and iron balls on our feet.Notice all the adults grunting, lifting, and working. Then notice the one young girl standing and watching. This has to be against parent labor laws.Sherl taking a break.In some places people say Hello, Good Day, Hi, or even “Dear”( if writing a letter). Here in the south everyone just says “Hey.” At least we don’t have to sniff butts.Bernice has the best’est of the Bistro’s.Just standing around shooting the bull, or the donkey.Chuck resting the dogs.The new climbing tower with a Stonehenge of poles.Looking like a home depot model, Steve works on the climbing tower.
Chuck and Phil repair the fence under the watchful orange eye of a very odd looking Quality Assurance Representative.There’s an ARY in the tree. Okay, we’ll cut out the dry humor.

Oh Oh…maybe no one will notice all the cookies are missing.
Bill is the happiest roofer ever.
Are you thinking of the theme song from “Sanford and Son” or the “Beverly Hillbilly’s?”
I wonder what a Rock Legend would drill for in Florida? Maybe this is how we can get a few more caves for the Cavort.
