Winter Excursion 10, Day 152

We stayed in camp most of the day. 

We did a little laundry and fried up a bunch of chicken wings for Sticky Chicken tomorrow when Jerry and Carolyn arrive.

I also did our 2025 taxes and we will get a refund for the first time since I can remember!

We went out to dinner at a newly opened Italian Restaurant. We will not be going back!

Back at camp we spent the evening outside watching the sunset and talking to a few of the campers as they were taking their evening walks.

It's been a nice three days off, one more to go.   

Winter Excursion 10, Day 151

The weather has cooled off a bit. It was in the 40s last night, so we had great sleeping weather. It is forecast to heat up over the next few days. Just in time for us to go back to work again!

The truck has been acting up again. It tends to misfire after it has sat for a few days. I made an appointment to take it in to get fixed. The last thing we need is a misfiring truck while we are towing!

We drove into Wally World in the afternoon to pick up a few things. The birds are starving so we also stopped at TSC for some bird seed.

We had hamburgers on the flattop and some French fries. Nothing like a good ole' American meal! 

After dinner we sat by the fire until dark. It was another nice day off!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 150

Our first day off and we slept in until 0930! The past four days on had some busy times.

We made some flapjacks on the flattop for breakfast. After breakfast we did a little camp maintenance.

In the afternoon we did some grocery shopping and then just hung out at camp. After four days "ON" it's nice to pretend we are campers again.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 149

Today was the exact opposite of yesterday. It was a very easy day!

We only had a few campers leaving or arriving. I spent most of the day assisting maintenance with a few chores.

The weather cooled off again and temps stayed in the high 60s today and are forecast to stay that way at least for a few days.

The geese family from last year is back.

They are mad because Site #3 is open this year for camping. Last year they had it all to themselbves.

The find of the day was this wine cork.

They should have left me the bottle (full) and not just the cork!
 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 148

It was quite a day Hosting!

We had 16 campers leaving and 16 arriving. Cleaning sites took most of the morning, but of course four of those leaving didn't get off their site until 10 minutes before checkout time!

We had a mess at the dump station as someone dumped their black tank all over the station. I'm sure it was just a mistake, but they didn't even bother to report it. The maintenance guy and I cleaned it all up. YUK!

The other Host blew a tire on their cart. We ended up changing a tire.

First thing this morning maintenance and I decorated the Kiosk for the USA 250 anniversary. We think it turned out nice.

The find of the day was this priceless pearl necklace.

I gave it to one of the Kiosk Gals to have it appraised.

It was a very long Hosting Day! 

Oh. Forgot to mention I did a water leak repair on a camper for one of our guests. They had a river from their site and into the road.

Did I mention it was a long day!

 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 147

It was another nice, normal hosting day. We cleaned a few sites and did the bathhouses.

Late afternoon we had the other "Brinkley" couple stop by. We all had a good time swapping stories and lies.

The find of the day was USB charging cable.

I'm sure there is a camper somewhere with a dead cell phone. Hope they had an extra!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 146

Our first day back "ON" and it was an easy one. Had a few campers arrive and a few leave. One of the arrivals was another Brinkley. We talked to them for almost 30 minutes swapping Brinkley stories. 

The find of the day was another tent stake.

I'll add it to our collection, but soon I'll need a bigger box!
