Winter Excursion 10, Day 102

It's Super Bowl Sunday! Go Seahawks!
Before we could enjoy the game we had to have an interesting Camp Host day.
It started on first "rounds" this morning at the boat ramp. Someone decided the ladies room was a good place to get sick. It took about 30 minutes to cleaned it up! YUK!
Next we had 13 campers leaving and only one arriving. Cleaning sites was the story of the day. Of course the last one to leave (late) was the one site where we had an incoming camper. One other site was one of the dirtiest, messy, sites we've seen. There was wet woodchips and mud due to a leaking hose at the camper fresh water nozzle all over the site. And the best of all was a large wad of cooking grease on the pavement and picnic table. And don't forget all the charred tinfoil and beer cans in the still hot fire ring! It was a mess to cleanup!
We worked steady until late afternoon.
Finally it was Super Bowl time. We had our Co-host over for s burgers and all the fixings. It was a good game if you were a Seahawk fan. We tuned to another channel for the halftime show.
The find of the day was that filthy site, but I did not get a pic. It's one find I want to forget.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 101

It was a fairly normal camp host day. The park is almost full, but most of the campers arrived yesterday. We just did our normal duties and relaxed in the afternoon.
The weather was perfect today with high in the 60s. It's about time!
The find of the day this bow tie.
If it came from a dog I'm sure it wasn't the kind of dog we like!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 100

We spent the day getting all the new campers settled in. This was the busiest day we've had so far. It felt like the day would never end. We were still dealing with campers until almost 1800. The campground is almost full.
The find of the day was another fuse.
This one is in good shape, not blown. It now lives in my electrical box.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 99

Today is our first of four days on. The park is almost empty, but we will be almost full for the weekend. We spent the morning cleaning sites for all the incoming campers this weekend.
We hung out at the camper in the afternoon and watched some TV.
We had a late arriving camper in the evening with no reservation. We got them settled into a site and they can settle up their bill in the morning.
Weather is slowly starting to moderate. It will be nice to have temps above freezing. 
The find of the day was this carbineer. 
I was happy ti find it a first, but then discovered it was broken. It's now in the trash!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 98

Oh Boy! It was laundry day! We had a blast.
In the afternoon I called TSC and asked if they got their propane tank filled. They told me they did, so I drove over to fill our empty tank. When I went into the store to ask for a "fill" I was told their tank was empty! I said I had just called 30 minutes ago and was told they had propane. So I just did a 30 mile round trip for nothing!
It rained all day and into the evening so for the most part we were camper bound today. We are back on duty tomotrrow.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 97

After a lazy morning we went pillow shopping! It's Cath's new hobby. We found her a new "adjustable" pillow at Home Goods. I'll let everyone know tomorrow if it worked!
We drove over to Ingles (food store) to pickup what we couldn't get yesterday at the commissary. Then we stopped on the way back to camp at TSC to fill one of our propane tanks. They were out of propane, but hope to get their tank filled tomorrow. The weather is warming up so hopefully we won't need as much propane all the time.
Back at camp we spent the afternoon outside by the campfire. Temps are are in the low 60s for a welcome change,
This little guy showed up pecking at a tree near our camper. It's a Downy Woodpecker.
And this is the look I get from Cath when she thinks I'm being crazy!
It was sure nice to sit outside again. We feel like we've been cooped up for a month!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 96

The temps are starting to warm up. We made it to 50+ today and sunny. Tomorrow will be even warmer.
We drove to the commissary today for a few supplies, what a mistake. We didn't think about it being the Monday after payday weekend. A lot of the shelves were bare. Also, there was no eggs!
Back at camp we just chilled and enjoyed the warmer weather. 
Two more days off then back to work. We should be busy this coming weekend.
