Winter Excursion 10, Day 129

It did rain a little last night, but it was not as bad as forecast.

We left camp late morning to do a little shopping as we are "ON" for the next four days.

We stopped at Old Clinton Barbecue House in Gray.

It is advertised as the "best BBQ in Georgia". If that is in fact the case we will not be eating any BBQ in Georgia!

Back at camp it seemed like the day flew by. It must have been the time change.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 128

Something new in Cat Wrangling did not work. I hooked up some fishing line to the trap and sat out there all day waiting for the cat to arrive. It finally did in the late afternoon, but would not go into the trap like yesterday. She smelled around the trap and took a bit of tuna that was just outside the trap door. Took one look at me 15 feet away and walked off! Damn Cat! Here's a pic of the two of them on the neighbor's picnic table. I took this pic 100 ft away from them.

I took two steps toward them and they fled.

It is supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow. I hope they both get soaked!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 127

The smoke came to the campground! I woke up around midnight and could really smell pine burning. I looked outside and the smoke was so thick I could not see 10 ft away from the camper. When the employees arrived in the morning the smoke was still bad, but not like last night. Both of them said the smoke was so bad they were doing less than 20 mph and just following the yellow lines on the road! We all think this "controlled burn" got out of control!

We spent the day in camp as our Co-host has a doctor appointment this afternoon so we covered for them.

Cat wrangling is still evading me. We were sitting outside in the late afternoon when the cat showed up. It went into the trap, ate some of the food (bait), but didn't spring the door shut! This is one smart cat. I was sitting almost next to the trap, but every time I moved the cat scampered away. I will try something new tomorrow.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 126

It was nice to have the day off and we plan on enjoying three more of them.

We did a little shopping, but for the most part we just hungout and relaxed. 

On the way home from shopping we noticed a control burn. It was one of the biggest we've seen. We are just hoping the smoke does not come to the campground!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 125

Cat Wrangling is still not working. We have a "have-a-heart" trap and somehow this cat has figured a way to eat the bait without tripping the trap! She's done it twice now! The saga continues!

We had a few campers leave today and none arriving! That is  "first".

Laundry Day again, but Cath handled most of it.

The find of the day was this tire side wall tread.

I hope that the camper who owns this rig has a spare. They are going to need it.

We are "OFF" for the next four days!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 124

My new Host job continues to evade me. Cat Wrangling is not my forte! Maybe with a little more practice I'll get the hang of it!

We had one of the best finds of the day ever.

It's a five dollar bill. That brings my total cash finds to $5.09!

Host duties today were again very light. Only had a few arriving and a few leaving.

We had a visitor today. One of our Co-hosts from George L Smith is camping at Indian Springs and drove over to spend the afternoon with us. Funny story is when she called yesterday she mentioned she had a new camper. I answered we also have a new camper and asked her what they bought. Her answer was a BRINKLEY!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 123

Cat trapping is not going well. We see one of the cats a lot, but have not been able to wrangle it. The cat sniffs at the tuna in the trap but will not go into it.
Host duties today were very easy, so most of the day we just relaxed and enjoyed the warm weather.

The find of the day was this glove.

I was worried that there might be a hand in it.

We did have a super nice sunset today.
