Sunday September 17th 2023

There were a few more clouds in the sky today keeping the temperature a few degrees cooler than yesterday. A gentle breeze and a little lower humidity kept the day in the comfortable range. The temperature peaked around ninety and even though the sky threatened at times it remained dry all day.

Today turned into a football watching day. I wasn’t glued to the screen, but a game was on the screen from 1PM onward. None of the games were riveting, but they kept my attention for a few plays then I would do something else only to come back to the game during a later series of downs. The Sunday night game between the Dolphins and the Patriots is on the TV now. While it is the game I have the most interest in, it looks like it will be the most lopsided score wise. The Patriots are just a shadow of their former selves in the Tom Brady years.

The weekenders started to leave the park early this morning and continued to leave right up to the 1PM checkout. My guess is the park was about half full and about half of those departed today. I’m in a cluster of about five occupied sites. The sites that are closed for electrical work and a few empties make up the rest of this camping loop. It really has an empty campground atmosphere.

The day use part of the park got a lot of use today. There was a group using the big pavilion for a cook out and several of the other tables were getting used by families. By evening the area was empty and the birds returned to the beach area. During my last walk of the day I sat at a picnic table near the beach and took pictures of a couple of herons that were looking for their evening meal along the shore of the lake.
