Thursday June 16th 2016

Today was a clone of yesterday. The weather was just a little bit warmer but nothing significant. My tasks for the day only differed in my choice of rooms at the house to work on. Today the focus was on the kitchen.

When I got back to the campground this evening, it was filling up quickly. The number of tents and tent trailers is greater than it was earlier in my stay. It is indicator that the kids are out of school and the families are traveling. The arriving families setup camp then they are off to the pool to cool off and work off the energy pent up during the travel day. There were more people in the pool this evening than I’ve seen since I got here.

Checking license plates on my walk shows a trailer from Arizona and three rigs from Louisiana. The others are from more predictable locations. The Arizona trailer is in the site beside me. It has been here for awhile but this is the first time I’ve seen the license plate on the truck. The two guys in the trailer keep strange hours. I think they are working in the area.

The Louisiana rigs are together. There are two fifth wheel trailers and a motorhome. I didn’t see them come in so I don’t know if they are traveling in a caravan or if they travel separately and meet up at the stops. There are trade offs for each method. There is some security in caravaning, but it requires everyone to keep the same pace. From a road sharing perspective it is very hard to pass three or more RVs in a line. If I have an opportunity to travel with others, I’d prefer the lets go are separate ways and meet up at the stops approach.

Tonight’s campfire.

I had another fire tonight. The wood scraps from the house are now all gone. If I want to have another fire I’ll have to buy wood unless I find more at the house. Neither are likely.
