Friday July 1st 2016

The commute this morning could best be described as weird. Traffic was heavy but it wasn’t the usual commuter style traffic. Maneuvering in and out of lane to get to the exits was less of a focus. Most of the heavy traffic was oriented toward the long haul. The further north I got the more vehicles on the road.

The drive north combined with the continued focus on holiday travel on the TV and Radio made me worry about the afternoon commute. Consequently, when the lawn mower ran out of gas, I used it as an excuse to head back to my RV home early. The afternoon traffic was fine in my direction. I only had one significant backup. The north bound traffic was not as lucky. Large sections of the traffic on the other side of the highway were completely stopped.

At the campground this afternoon, the weekend crowd is arriving. It doesn’t look like it will be as full this weekend as last. Perhaps the premium rate they are charging for the holiday weekend has had a negative impact. Alternatively, it may be that they just haven’t all arrived yet. The campground had a couple of extra dumpsters for trash delivered this morning so they may be expecting a full house.

One of many reminders put up all around the campground. I don’t think it’s working.

The campground has put up a number of temporary signs reminding campers of what it calls the “Gold Rules of Camping”. I can only guess why they have felt the need to put up the signs. The “don’t cut through others sites” rule is getting violated rather consistently. I had to bring my car up to 6 inches from my motorhome to stop my neighbors from cutting through my site to get to their friends behind me. The 2 feet I started with was not enough. Now they have to walk 20 feet more, but I’m not jumping every time I see some one out my front window.
