Winter Excursion 10, Day 119

We drove to Hard labor Creek State Park this morning.

This park is about 50 miles northeast of us. The place is huge, almost 6000 acres. It has a golf course, an equestrian area with campsites, a giant day use area, and 51 RV sites in the campground; some with full hookups. The campground is really nice with all the sites level and many pull-thrus. We drove up to see if in the future we'd be interested in hosting, but this park is way to big for us and it's to close to the Atlanta area.

Back at camp it rained on and off and we just chilled and did some wings for dinner.

One more day off, then our Co-host leaves, a new one arrives, and we are "ON" for 5 days.
 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 118

Our friend Ron came to visit today. He is the one we visited last week. He wanted to see our campground and the area. We gave him the grand tour of the campground which took all of about 10 minutes and then took him to lunch at our favorite Tex-Mex joint. Then a quick tour of downtown Macon. On the way back to camp we showed him the Whistle Stop . It was closed today, but he got a few pics. Back at camp we yakked for awhile and then he left to go back to his campground. We all had a good time and it was nice to see him again.

We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening outside.  It is nice that the weather finally warmed up!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 118

Today was supposed to be our fourth day "ON". I did my morning checks of the bathhouses and campground and then stopped by the kiosk to get today's paperwork. While I was there our Co-host came by all dressed for work! I asked what he was doing and he said he was "ON" today. He was mistaken, but insisted that I take the day off anyway as he is leaving Saturday and we have to work five days in a row. I finally said OK and had a nice day off with perfect weather.

After it warmed up we spent the day doing campsite maintenance on our site. The recent storm had left debris all over the place and our screen tent had blown down. By late afternoon we had it all straightened up again and enjoyed a glass of wine by the campfire.

Our new Co-Hosts should arrive Saturday and we will give them a few days to get settled. That keeps us on our 4 on, 4 off schedule. 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 117

It was in the 20s this morning and the wind is still howling, although not as bad as yesterday.

We had a few campers coming and going, but it was a slow day for the most part.

We played a little cribbage in the afternoon, we haven't played i awhile.

Our Co-host came over for some homemade pea soup with cornbread. It was delicious and a perfect dinner for the cold weather we've been having.

The find of the day was this little silver cat.

I'm not sure what the price of silver is, but I'll add this to all the gems and precious metals I've found and someday get it all assessed. 
 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 116

It was a windy day to say the least. We woke up to 10 - 15 mph winds and had gusts all day up to 20 mph. It made cleaning sites for all the campers leaving (it's Sunday) a real joy! We had a few cancelations today for incoming campers, but still ended up with nine in camp. Oh yea, I forgot to mention the high temp today was only 48. There is a freeze warning for tonight and we are dripping all the faucets.

Even with all the wind, the find of the day is this birdy.

It's a Red-bellied Woodpecker and they just arrived a few days ago.
 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 115

The Weather Guessers were correct today. We had a little bit of drizzle this morning and then about a two hour break. This gave me time to clean the sites for the incoming/outgoing campers and for us to clean the bathhouses. As soon as we finished the bathhouses the sky opened up. It only lasted about 30 minutes, but we got 3/4 of an inch of rain. The campground turned into a waterfall. It will take time tomorrow to clean up all the stones and debris.

A few of the campers left early, but most stayed and will leave tomorrow.

The rest of the day we just hung out in the camper and had our Co-host over for dinner. The find of the day was this thing.

Of course I googled what it was. I had never seen one before. Here's the results.

"This item is a reptile feeding clamp and insect catcher, typically used for handling live bugs or cleaning terrariums without touching waste". 

WOW! I've always wanted a reptile feeding clamp.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 114

The Weather Guessers were wrong, we had no rain today.

We did some grocery shopping and topped off the propane bottles and then spent the afternoon in camp.

The new forecast is for severe thunder storms tonight and tomorrow. Hopefully the WGs are wrong again.

All is well in the Boss Camp.
