Gathering strength for the return journey



The laid back lifestyle is setting in.  The Great Horned Owls, frogs, Poor-wills and toads are calling at night. The Black-crested Titmouse, Cardinals, Guinea hens and even chickens today, wake us in the morning.  Not even the diesel throb of a struggling F450 hauling out a 40 ft 5th wheel at 7:00 a.m. with “your little dog too” barking out the window can cloud the loveliness of the morning. 

The day consisted of a minor grocery shop. Hey, that’s eggs for .99 cents stop there!  Cam tells me this is a "loss leader" move on the part of the merchant.  Hah, pre-warned, it didn’t work, I got the eggs and left. Watching the new summer folks roll into the RV park and the travellers and snowbirds roll out. Cam’s moment where he filled a near empty Accord for $21.   Followed by a fuel frivolous cruise around the area through potential future RV parks, the tour brochure’s wildflower cruise through the cemetery, and boat gawking along the harbour.  The afternoon pool session and yes - the China Buffet.   I gave the Bigfoot a bath to remove the oak pollen.  

The weather in the central states, especially those we would need to travel, has been fierce, and continues to be so, with tornados, flash foods, high winds and yes the dreaded low temperatures.  Cam snivels and whines at the prospect of having to wear socks again.  On this basis, a decision was made at the pool to book in here until Monday.   (Sorry too lazy to take photos today)
