Eel Weir State Park, Day 4

Jerry & Carolyn left this morning around 0730. They had some stuff to do back home. They left Logan with us, so Kaylee was happy to have a buddy all day.

We hung out a the camper all day and enjoyed a little cooler weather. The dogs and I watched this guy for a long time until he finally left.

Jerry and Carolyn got back around 1500. We had a few ABs, then got dinner ready at our place. We got it all done just in time as the skies opened up once again. The rain stopped after a few hours and by 2100 we were all in bed.

Cooler temps and more rain forecast for tomorrow.

Eel Weir State Park, Day 3

The weatherman was right. It got super hot and humid today. High was 90 deg, 77 is the norm for this time of year! It set a new record in Watertown!

We spent the day roasting at Jerry & Carolyn's site. Here's a pic.

Jerry and I went over to the Amish sawmill in the morning and filled my truck with wood. Price was $5.00! We have more then enough wood for the rest of the time we are here.

Carolyn made brats and potato salad for dinner. I cooked the onions and peppers on the Blackstone.

Here's a view of our site from Jerry & Carolyn's.

Right after dinner the storms started. We had a few lightning strikes within a few hundred feet of the camper. The storms lasted till almost midnight, but we were able to sneak back to our camper by dodging a few rain drops. We have more storms forecast for tomorrow, but the temps be a little nicer.

 

Eel Weir State Park, Day 2

 Here's my view from the camper while having my morning coffee.

This site (right across from us) will be occupied by Jerry & Carolyn later to day.

The arrived around 1400. The dogs were happy to see each other.

We helped them get set up, had a few ABs, and then a nice spaghetti dinner at our site. We spent the evening at the campfire.

Weather was once again perfect, but is forecast to turn hot with thunderstorms.

 

Eel Weir State Park, Day 1

We arrived at Eel Weir State Park around 1330. Here's a pic of the site. No hookups here, but there is water not too far away. You can't tell by the pic, but that is our new awning. The old one finally gave up after five years of camping.

After we got set up we drove to the local Amish sawmill and picked up some slab wood. Their price is $5.00 for all you can fit in your truck! We only got enough for two nights. Jerry and I will get a truck load on Monday. He and Carolyn will arrive tomorrow.

Here's a good pic of Cath and Kaylee.

And this is our new acquisition for the camper. It's a Blackstone 17" griddle. It runs off the camper propane.  We will let everyone know how it works tomorrow for breakfast. All we did to it today was season the griddle. That took about two hours, but it's just like a cast iron skillet now.

The weather was perfect today, sunny with highs in the low 70s.
