It is now the third day of camping, and things couldn't be better. The water and the weather have been just fantastic. Sorry, but I don't have any pictures for this issue.
Henry and Marie showed up today, right about 7:00pm. Just in time for dinner. Grilled steaks tonight. The tent is all set up and Marie is all set, all by herself. In fact, she just asked me what time it was, I think she is thinking about getting ready to hit the sack.
It hit 103 to day for a short time and the water temps got all the way up to 79 degrees. Man, couldn't get better then that.
And for those of you who are wondering, yes, that is full size refrigerator sitting next to our camper. However, it is not ours and it will be disappearing on Friday. I will tell you one thing about having one of those things around, it sure cuts down on the purchase of ice. Our friends brought it with them in the back of their pick-up truck.
Time to go sit by the fire and maybe roast some marshmellows.

Here it is, the second full day at our camp and I am already updating this thing. No, it is not that boring around here. It is just that it is just after 7am and no one else is up and about yet. Here a a couple of pictures for all the throngs of people who are chomping at the bit to see what we are doing here.
This is our rig, all set up and ready to go. We are down at the Albertson's parking lot waiting for the other two families to show up so we can leave. We stopped at a scale house on the way over and weighed it, and the total weight of the whole thing is 14,820 pounds. Didn't slow me down one bit. We really had a good trip over. We left Albertson's about 6:20 in the morning and we pulled into the campground right at 12:15 in the afternoon. Got our camp set up, launched the boats and did a bit of boating yet on Sat.
Here are couple of shots of our gypsy campsite. Our home away from home.
The weather here has been great. Not real hot yet, but that is supposed to be coming in the next day or so. The water temps are in the low 70's right now, but they are supposed to be coming up too later on. It isn't too bad though, once one gets into the water, it does feel great.
Not much else is going on right now. The camp is starting to stir with some activity. There are a few others that are starting to emerge from their "cocoons" (tents). The sun has been up for just over an hour now and sitting in the sun is very warming. Even this early, it is nice sitting in the shade.
Well, I am going to close out for now and get on with the business of getting my first cup of coffee down and then having breakfast and then heading on down to the beach. I will try to get some pictures from down there and get them posted soon.
