Today looked a lot like yesterday with fluffy clouds that blocked the sky most of the time. Unlike yesterday it wasn’t as humid or as hot and the forecast didn’t call for any rain. The temperature even peaked in the upper eighties below the usual high for this time of year.

The bad news about the weather is the forecast was wrong. It rained while I was out on my walk around the RV park. I had to take shelter for about half an hour under the roof at the shuffle board courts near Lake Davenport. This is the first day in a while that my walk around the park got to that far away point. Over the last few days the weather either rain or heat have kept my walks closer to home.

I was surprised to see a couple of more resident changes in the lower area of the park near the lake. Two RVs that I assumed would be there all summer were gone. They will be back. Their flowers and patio structures are waiting for them. One RV that departed a month or so ago is back. I am not sure for how long, since they don’t seem to be setting up camp much other than watering their extensive flower gardens. The coming and goings during the summer at this park seems to be interesting to observe. In general, the park is much more active now in the middle of the hot season than it was at the end of the snowbird season. Most of the RVs seem to come in for a week or two.

Up in my area of the RV resort, another RV that was here when I arrived has returned. They are not on the same site, but they are easy to recognize. They seem to overflow their site. They park cars on the paved area and on the grass. A big screened porch structure takes up more of the grass. Last night the only place they seemed to be able to find to sit was behind their RV. Unfortunately, the place behind their RV they chose was in the road. It was difficult for cars trying to make the turn onto my road. They had to maneuver to avoid them. The park security golf cart stopped by their site later in the evening. Some of the behaviors seem to have changed, but why was it an issue in the first place. They clearly weren’t in a safe place.
