Winter Excursion 8, Day 88 The Life of a Camp Host

The day started out easy. Bathhouse was in good shape this morning and only one new camper arriving today and one leaving.

Around noon when we went to clean the bathhouse we both noticed that the water in the toilets and sinks was black! Not just a little dark, BLACK! We called the Ranger and immediately and started to flush the system again by running some empty campsite faucets. We have been having some discoloration with the water as there has been some recent maintenance on the chlorinator, but nothing like this. After running the faucets for over 30 mins the water got better. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it stays that way. Time will tell.

While all this water stuff was going on we had a stray dog show up in the campground. I put a leash on her (she's very friendly) and put her in the Ranger's cart and went in search of the owner. We found her home about a mile away, The owner was happy to see her back.

Even with all this I did have a find of the day.

It's the Grinch's green pencil left over (lost) during the holidays. With all the water issues I feel like the Grinch is just around the corner!
