Happy Leap Year

The sun was in hiding today. The cold front passed through overnight without spilling any rain. The wind is now out of the north and the temperature is having a hard time crossing the seventy degree mark.

I started the active part of my day with a trip to the observation tower on the prairie. It was a disappointing visit. None of the wildlife on the prairie was visible. I wonder if the wind direction was part of the reason. There would have been more sheltered areas than those visible from the observation tower.

My first and only walk of the day to the day use area on the lake was near sunset. Other than a fisherman and a couple of other hikers, the area was almost deserted. The cloud cover prevented any kind of sunset viewing and it really wasn’t warm enough to sit around. I was back in the comfort of my RV home soon after.

The campground had a lot of turnover again today. I don’t know if the campground filled last night, but I think it will tonight. Some of today’s arrivals have the look of weekenders. I’ll have to check tomorrow to see if my guess is correct.
