Winter Excursion 10, Day 177

We actually got a little rain this afternoon. There is a State wide burn ban in effect, but the little bit of rain we had will not get the ban lifted. Man of the campers are a little upset as there are no campfires, charcoal, or candles. They can only use propane.

Once again we spent the day in camp. We did a little more packing up and just relaxed.

We have three days ON starting tomorrow, and then we plan to go to the kid's until the truck is fixed.

I got this pic of the Georgia State Bird the Brown Thrasher. We don't see this guy very often.

 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 176

We spent most of the morning putting all the outside stuff away in preparation for our soon to happen move. After four months in one place I almost forgot where all this stuff goes when we move!

We drove over to the Ford Dealer to see how the truck is doing. The truck was still outside and they plan to get started on it again next week. They still don't have a loaner for us and the rental vehicle we have is costing us over $300 a week. Ford will only reimburse us for 10 days of rental at a max cost of $40 per day. YUK!

We spent the afternoon in camp people watching and relaxing.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 175

We are forecast to get some badly needed rain this weekend. So we took down the gazebo and one of the patio mats. We will be packing up more stuff tomorrow.

Another one of our hosting friends came to visit today. We hosted with Carolyn at George L Smith State Park. It was great to see her and catch up on all her goings on. She did bring her dogs. Lenny is a 15 year old tiny Chihuahua! The other dog is a miniature Dachshund and is quite the handul.

We took her out to lunch and spent the rest of the afternoon outside just yakking.
   

Winter Excursion 10, Day 174

We left camp this morning and headed to High Falls State Park to see our old Co-host. We hosted with Ed last year here and this year for two months also. He is 88 Years old and still hosting! He does say this is his last year and he's headed to Texas in September to live with his son.

On the way to see Ed we stopped by the Ford Dealer where our truck is. We were very disappointed to see our truck parked outside. I don't think they have touched it and we still have no word as to when we might get it back. This is going to be a problem as we have to vacate this camp site as our hosting ends next week. 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 173

It was a very uneventful day which is always good. We had all or duties finished by 1100.

Cath had a hair appointment in the afternoon. She is my Brown Haired Girl again! 

We had a camper show up with no reservations again this evening. So we put them on one of the empty sites. Turned out they are from our hometown of Lowville. Small World!

The find of the day was this little toy dog.

I'm not sure where he got that collar, but it sure looks like a ring I found a few months ago!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 172

Today was a super easy day. We had a handful of campers leaving and only a few arriving. The campers that were leaving were all gone by 1045. We don't think that has ever happened before. They usually wait until a few minutes or more after the 1200 checkout time. 

The weather continues to be nice. Temps are in the 70s during the day and into the 40s at night. It makes for good sleeping and easy working!

The find of the day was this fishing lure.

I'm not sure how it got stuck into Santa Duck's head, but I bet it hurts!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 171

We can't get over how calm the campground and boat ramp have been this weekend. The norm is for it to be crazy busy with a bunch of crazies causing the craziness! We are not complaining.

The find of the day was this fork.

Somewhere in this campground is one hungry camper or maybe they just eat with their hands!
