Winter Excursion 8, Day 132 The Life of a Camp Host

It was busy today. We had lots of campers leave.

One of the sites was a family that had a couple of small boys. These two boys had a Tonka Toy backhoe, dump truck, frontend loader, and bull dozer. They decided to excavate their campsite. When I went to clean the site after they departed I found about 10 holes about 6 - 12 inches deep and around 12 X 12" in size. It took me about 30 minutes to fill everything in and leveled out. These two characters used their dump truck to take the dirt from the campsite and put it down in the woods! They also decided to excavate the site next to theirs that was empty. I wonder where the parents were while all this was going on? I did get them back a little. They left the scoop from their frontend loader! I can guarantee they will not get it back! 

The last site I cleaned today was the one with the guy who had his sewer hose emptying into the lake. He left us a real mess. Cigarette butts, peanuts and shells, paper, charred wood, used pouches of chewing tobacco, and food bits! But the best of all was the wad of used cooking grease in the firepit! YUK!

The find of the day was this pair of sunglasses.

And a few minutes later I found the missing lens on the campground road.

I hope it all belonged to one of those excavating boys.

We are off tomorrow and I think we deserve it.
