A LOT of campers came into this campground this morning. This is the most crowded it's been since I've been here. Lots of tents and RVs, and then a few minutes ago, a huge Cruiser 5th wheel pulled into the campsite below me, entirely blocking my view of the lake out the driver's side window. It looks like there are a bunch of families meeting up here, because they all seem to know each other. Lots of walking back and forth, music playing, kids riding their bikes up and down the street, etc. Since this is Father's Day weekend, they are probably having a family get-together. I've been lucky until now that it's been so quiet!
The Ranger has driven his truck through this area a few times today, I haven't seen him do that before, so he's definitely keeping his eye on things. I hope they don't get too rowdy.
One thing I've noticed about people camping with kids is that they might be kind of noisy during the day, but they quiet down early, which is really nice.
For the last week I've been thinking I might want to move to the Primitive Camping area. We'd be right next to the lake and near where the horses and donkeys hang around. If I start to feel I want more space, I might do that this weekend. We'll see - but with Father's Day, it might be crowded there too, this weekend.
Other than the rain and the crowd, nothing new to report. I downloaded a free monthly "rental" book from Amazon Prime yesterday and almost finished it last night. Justice Rules by Thomas White. It was really good, some unexpected twists and turns, kind of gross in places if you don't mind that, and I finally quit when my eyes were too sore to keep reading. I read 92% of it (the Kindle Fire doesn't have page numbers, just percentages) and couldn't read anymore. When I post this, I'm going to finish that book and start another.
Well, after I fix an early dinner. I skipped lunch, it's 4:30, and I'm starved. I'm thinking a fried egg sandwich and a fruit salad. :)
From me and Katie, have a great weekend, everyone! :)
You got some really good pictures today. Love the colors in that butterfly picture. Hope your neighbors don't create too much commotion, but they will probably be gone by Sunday night.
ReplyDeleteIs that a turkey vulture, or a chicken hawk in that picture, Barbara? Neat color from the sun on those feathers. Like the bunny and the squirrel, too. Of course, lizards are always a favorite of mine, too. Glad you got some cooling rain. Give Katie a big smooch from us.
ReplyDeleteButterflies sure are beautiful. I take lots of pictures of them plus everything else I see out there. With the summer comes more kids and more families into the campgrounds. Sometimes it can get rowdy and other times not so much. What you see are future RVers out there that just haven't grown up yet.
ReplyDeleteToo bad your lake view is now blocked. (That's the kind of luck I seem to have in campgrounds). But I guess crowds are not an unusual occurence during summer.
ReplyDeleteI always loved traveling in any other season but summer because of the crowds - in campgrounds and on the roads, as well as motels.
ReplyDeleteAlways fun when the weekend warriors descend on the parks. Be patient, things will be back to normal Monday.
