This place is well off the beaten path and not well known outside of the area though it is only 9 miles from I-65. With a few exceptions the sites are huge, level and wooded. They have tent, water/electric and water/electric/sewer sites and laundry facilities. There is an area for horse campers with stalls and miles of trails. There is also a large creek and a lake. During the summer there is swimming, tubing and zip lining in and over the creek. I got a useable Verizon signal (voice and 4G). A satellite dish will work on many, but not all, sites. The price I gave is based on the monthly, off-season rate. You can find the full rate schedule on the web site. If you are looking for shuffleboard and bingo this is not your place. If you want hiking, fishing and a general escape to nature you couldn't do better. This is only the second place I have ever rated a 10. I wasn't sure of the first one. I am this time. The facility is operated by the Poarch Band of the Creek Indian Nation. These natives are very friendly and great hosts. I will be back for a month or more every winter for the foreseeable future. - ljr

Us Midwesterners wanted to go somewhere warm for the Christmas week. We used this website to search for campgrounds. Our only requirements were sewer, river access, a roomy site and located in a warmer, winter climate. We searched from the Louisiana coastline to South Carolina for a campground that sounded like the best place to go. After days of research, earth/campsite maps and reading reviews, this sounded like the best place to go! This is an Indian Reservation and wildlife preserve owned by The Poarch Band of Creek Indians. My email request for reservations was answered quickly and just as previous reviews, we got a total steal for the week @ $150.00 for W/E/S ($21.42 per day for a week). Google Maps brought us directly to the address with no issues. As we arrived later in the day on a Saturday, our parking passes were at the gate. We were placed on site 28, but were told we could take whichever site we'd like. 28 was AWESOME! It's an asphalt type pad - one board off level to the left. Anyone that complains about un-level sites is a baby, IMO. The site is very spacious and overlooks a small lake to the rear. Part of the lake is the 'swimming-hole', which looks like fun for the kiddies. There are some sites with large sites and others that are somewhat grouped. There was no one else here. A few 'permanent' looking sites, but that was it. There is no Wifi, but I got fairly good roaming signal with Sprint. I could email & internet, but too slow for a stream. There are a few T.V. stations available. Water quality and pressure was fine. Horse stalls looked nice. The restrooms/showers were large and clean. There was a soda machine and laundry for $1.25. The Big Escambia Creek winds through the reservation. It was too cold to tube, but it SURE looks like a nice ride. We were going to canoe, but the day after we arrived, it rained so much the creek rose about 7 feet! It would have been white water rafting!! Stargazing was awesome; saw Venus and the Milky Way. Be sure Google Sky is loaded before coming. We walked every trail available to us, but the 'good' trails were across the creek, which we couldn't cross because of the height of the water, not the park's fault. However, the other trails were nice also. We have two dogs that thoroughly enjoyed the over 5 hours of walking / sniffing time. We did go to the casino, as the weather was bad. It was fun for us non-gamblers... Won $30! Nice, friendly people and you could drink for free if you were playing, SWEET!! The town of Atmore is about ½ hour away. Sadly, the economy has hit them hard and there's not a whole lot to do there. Rowland Tires repaired our flat trailer tire for $10! We would surely come back to this location.

This review is from the winter. During the summer I'm sure this park has an entirely different feel. If your considering this campground for the winter be sure to call and speak to them about price as they were very generous with me and want you to experience the park so you can tell others. You should also know that the GPS street address is not accurate, keep an eye out for their signs and follow them or ask for the coordinates. Found the park secluded, quiet and with so much space to explore, 6000 plus acres. The Poarch Creek Indians are reclaiming the gravel mining area that preceded this campground and construction is still in progress. I felt great knowing that my money was being used for conservation and the construction is not a problem and located away from the current camp sites. The vision for this property is still in process and its a grand one. They already have an educational program in the summer and a box turtle habitat. I am a nature nut so this is all important to me. I loved hearing the coyotes howl at night and the owls sign me to bed and being bathed in unobstructed moonlight and stars. To what most of you are interested in.The sites are large, gravel and level with trees on most. They vary from private to appropriate for camping together and have a horse camp section. The bathrooms are not extravagant but serve the purpose and the showers were hot. Laundry was fine. The river that this campground is on is beautiful and there is a beach with swimming, jump platform, volleyball, and cabanas. Tubing, canoe and kayak rentals are available. There is a stable and trails are in great abundance. This is a big place and I spoke with riders who had gotten lost but the GM of the park is awesome and saw they hadn't come back and went and rescued them. There are also ponds everywhere and fishing is allowed. If you are looking for a family park in the summer this is an awesome place. They also have pavilions for rent near the beach. If you are looking for peace and quiet in the off season you can find it here. Its only 10 minutes to the Casino, which I was surprised I liked. Staff is very friendly and the design is something to see. They allow smoking but he air system is so good you don't notice it. The buffet was good and you drink free if your playing. Atmore itself doesn't have a lot to offer so come for the nature and then when your natured out go drop some change at the casino and get a free Tshirt for signing up for the players club. - TheIntuitionTour

Chris5 Stars Out Of 5ExcitingMay 6, 2015ChrisQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This is one of the best books I have ever read about prayer! It was full of encouragement about never giving up on praying! Because of this 40 day challenge God has blessed me with a job with an awesome pay and all the benefits that I couldn't image myself ever getting since I don't have a college degree. All I can say is never give up!
ZiggySomers, NYAge: 55-65Gender: female3 Stars Out Of 5It's OKApril 7, 2015ZiggySomers, NYAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 3I would say this book is about cheer leading. It talks about tapping into that divine power of God through prayer and lots of it. While we all could probably use more prayer time, I think we need to guard against praying superficially and Batterson's "any place any time" recommendations seem shallow. I would say the book is not very deep, that is why I say cheer leading, if you need someone to remind you to pray daily, this may help but there are other ways as well. Find what works for you.

Still Hopeful
I am past the bar scene as a way of meeting people, although I'd gladly spend time at a small bar with friends. Even better if there is live music. I have varied taste in music and can appreciate all kinds, even if I don't particularly like the genre, although when it comes to live music, I'll listen to anything. There's something electric about it. That being said, I'm an aspiring guitar player (read: I have no idea what I'm doing, but I want to learn). I am a mom of one and a doctoral student; between the two, I am generally pretty busy. I love to laugh, admire intelligence and hard work and am responsible for myself and my son physically, emotionally and financially. I am not looking for anyone to "take care" of me, rather I am looking for a friend to talk to, laugh with and just have fun. I enjoy a lot of different things and believe in making the most of whatever you have. I'm definitely an optimist and looking for the same. I get that we all have bad days and go though rough times. But aside from that, I'm not interested in someone who would rather see the world in a negative light. That being said, I'm human and I'm not going to portray myself as someone who is perfect. I figure if I'm going to meet someone here, I'm going to be upfront about myself - both the good and the bad: I am a mom. My son is my priority. I think I'm attractive and sexy and part of that is because I'm real and accept myself as I am. If you are looking for a health conscious gym nut, I'm not the one for you. I do like to eat healthy for the most part, but I also like cheeseburgers, chocolate and ice cream on occasion. I'd rather be active by working in my yard, taking long walk and playing with my son instead of spending time in a gym. I like being silly. Sarcasm is one of my many talents, but it is never mean spirited. I like soft kisses that linger, holding hands and just talking. I like going for long walks to nowhere and talking about everything and nothing in particular. And I also love long, hard, passionate kisses that make me moan. I'm pretty open and I am not afraid to let someone know what I like.

I've mentioned recently that I love a good BBC music documentary. And bemoaned that they never seem to make it to DVD. Well, last night, I turned up the 2003 docu THE ALCHEMISTS OF SOUND on the You Tubes. Which is, yes, about the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. (I'll be over this by the weekend, I swear). Here's the first part, the others are linked in the Related bar on the clickthrough:
7 thoughts on "The Alchemists Of Sound"
yipppe! Really liked that quite a lot. I grew up on Doctor Who and Hitch Hikers guide. It is interesting to know how the sounds were created.
Nice one again Warren. No need to be over this dude, I have since watched and reposted the excellent docs u linked on Hawkwind and prog rock. Gr8 stuff x
you might be interested in this…
I bet you won't – there's an hour-long doc on Radio 4 on Saturday night: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00rl2ky
brilliant—but WHO'S THAT LITTLE OLD MAN?
Very cool. I first saw this a few years ago — when you first posted a link to it! Still cool to revisit. (And I loved that prog rock doc you mentioned, too.)
one of the best things ive seen in ages… stumbled across it after listening to a radio 4 program about DELIA DERBYSHIRE … BUT !!!! the big question is WHO IS THE GUY IN THE BACKGROUND ???? I know the clock is to do with when they started up the workshop and that he represents the bbc looking over their shoulders but who is he??????

Advertising Age Opens Nominations For 2013 Small Agency Awards
Deadline for Nominations: May 1, 2013. Small Agency Conference & Awards Show Set for Portland, Oregon in July
PR Newswire
NEW YORK, April 9, 2013
NEW YORK, April 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- For the fifth year, the editors of Advertising Age and Creativity will celebrate the influence and impact of small, independent agencies with the 2013 Small Agency Awards. Nominations are now open, and winners will be announced live at the Small Agency Conference & Awards show July 24th and 25th in Portland, Oregon.
The 2013 honorees will join previous top winners Rockfish Interactive (2009), Pereira & O'Dell (2010), Via (2011), and Baldwin& (2012).
"In the beginning of 2011, VIA had just over 60 employees. Now we are an agency of 120 and growing," said John Coleman, founder-CEO of The Via Agency, Ad Age's 2011 Small Agency of the Year. "But the best thing about winning was the satisfaction our people felt for receiving recognition for all of those years of late nights, long flights, and cold pizza — that feeling was priceless."
All small and mid-sized agencies with fewer than 150 employees that are either fully independent or not majority-owned by a holding company or network are eligible to enter. Agencies are judged on thought leadership, portfolio, business results and culture. Campaigns are judged by a panel of agency professionals and Ad Age staff.
"We're in a golden age for small agencies where impact has little to do with size," said Abbey Klaassen, Advertising Age editor. "Savvy marketers understand that smaller agencies are nimble, highly creative and innovative. The companies and campaigns that fall within these award parameters are some of the industry's best."
"Being named Small Agency of the Year by Ad Age has opened doors to say the least," said David Baldwin, founder of Baldwin&, the 2012 Agency of the Year and winner of the 2011 Campaign of the Year. "And maybe it's made us work even harder knowing that we want to try it again this year."
Awards are made in the following categories:
- Agency of the Year, Overall
- Agency of the Year, By Division (1-10 people, 11-75 people, 76-150 people)
- Agency of the Year, By Region (Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, West, Southwest, International)
- Best Agency Culture
- Campaign of the Year
- Pro Bono Campaign of the Year (new this year)
"We intentionally keep entry fees modest – between $150 and $300 – to encourage as much participation as possible," said Ann Christine Diaz, editor of Creativity. "We want to spotlight great work that may not surface in bigger awards shows that are dominated by large agencies."
Campaigns are judged on business challenge/problem addressed, quality of media/communications plan, creative execution, and campaign results.
All types of agencies (full-service ad, digital, promo, direct, mobile, deisgn, etc.) are eligible and all types of work (television spots/campaigns, Web videos, branded content, all types of design, sites, games, apps, social media, etc.) will be considered. Entrants must be wholly independent or at least 51% privately held.
About the Small Agency Conference & Awards Show
Held over a day and a half, the Small Agency Conference & Awards show brings small and mid-sized agencies together to consider the unique challenges of being independent. Discussions focus on talent, business development, managing small shops, emerging technologies, and more. Keynotes, case studies and panel discussions culminate with a live awards event. Discounts on advanced tickets, which cover an opening night party, a full day of conference sessions and the awards event, expire June 20th.

Six high school students selected for Sister City Program
Area students prepare for visit to sister cities
CORPUS CHRISTI - Emily Frazier learned early this month she would get to spend the summer in Japan; four days later an 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit the country.
"What happened in Japan was devastating, and it hit close to my heart because that is going to be my home," said Emily, a King High School student who is one of six teens selected to visit Corpus Christi's sister cities in Japan, France and Taiwan.
"I just hope and pray whichever family I am going to that they weren't greatly affected."
Emily and Hailey Kimball, a Carroll High School student, have been scheduled to visit Yokosuka, which is southwest of Tokyo on Japan's main island of Honshu.
"I think it was far enough from the epicenter," Hailey said. "But the aftershocks have been massive, and it's still going on."
While Yokosuka is hundreds of miles south of the earthquake's epicenter, CNN reports that the Navy, which has a large base in Yokosuka, is monitoring radiation levels from a quake-damaged nuclear plant, 140 miles north of Tokyo.
Liz Garza, publicity chairwoman for the Sister City Program, said a committee will meet with representatives from Japan in April to discuss housing arrangements for the teens. If the families are not able to host the students, they will travel to Taiwan or France instead, Garza said.
"At the moment, it's up in the air," she said.
But the program's remaining four teens are set for their visits to Agen, France and Keelung, Taiwan.
King High School student Melanie Enriquez hopes her cultural experience in Taiwan will help with her plans to become a doctor.
Her fellow traveler and King student Vegas Longlois is interested in exploring the country's mountains and the night market.
"I want to experience the average day in their life," she said. "It's the little things that will stay with you forever."
Carroll High School's Danielle Davenport said she wants to leave a lasting impression on the French.
"My biggest concern is leaving the American stereotype," she said. "I want them to learn much more than we're fat, lazy and wasteful."
But she will partake in one typically American activity while in France. She said she has to try the McDonald's to see how it compares.
King High School's Erika Elizondo expects to have a summer of firsts. Her trip to France will be her first time out of the United States and her first time on a plane.
"The experience and opportunity to go out of the country is amazing," she said.
