Friday June 17th 2016

It was partly cloudy day with high temperatures in the low 80s. The humidity is starting to rise so it is getting a little less comfortable. The weather is still not anything to complain about.

Summertime Friday traffic was enforce on both my morning and evening commutes to the house. Cars with roof racks loaded with enough extra stuff to sink a small boat are surrounded by daily commuters. RVs and towed boats navigate around tractor trailers on their way to weekend retreats. In other words a traffic accident waiting to happen. Throw in a little road construction and you’ve got a parking lot. Luckily it was on the opposite side of the Interstate.

The campground is just about full this evening. Most of the sites are occupied by local area families in tents, tent trailers and RVs. Many are grouped with other families in neighboring sites. It makes for more of a party atmosphere.

During my walk around the campground I saw travelers from Idaho and Georgia that were not here last night. Travelers in general don’t do a lot of outside setup. Some of them just pull in, level up, plug in and turn on the air conditioning. You never see them out side. When I’m traveling, I don’t deploy a lot of outside equipment, but I do walk around the campground and may sit outside for awhile.

In my current mode of two weeks here and two weeks there I setup more of a camp. The chairs, gas grill, a side table and a table cloth for the picnic table are normally deployed. I put the patio awning out when I’m spending the day at the campsite. Tomorrow will be one of those days.
