It has been a dreary weather week. Instead of the normal mostly sunny days it has been cloudy with the likelihood of rain at any moment. The TV weather talkers delighted in the phrase “the influence of a stationary high level low in the gulf …” to explain the unusual weather conditions. On a positive note, the water levels in the ponds and lakes has returned to near normal levels and the fire danger has gone down.

When the things you want to do are outdoors, this uncertain weather gets in the way. I haven’t made any visits to the theme parks this week. The probability of getting caught in the rain was too high. Most of my time has been spent doing various chores around my base camp until today. The rain chance was low enough that I took the chance on a walk in the woods with a visit to the near by nature preservation land.

Summer has clearly arrived here. The number of occupied units in the park is very low. It is even lower than it was when I arrived last September. On my road, for some reason, I am in a cluster of units that are occupied. Six of eight units in this immediate area are occupied, but there may be only six or eight in the remaining fifty sites on the road.
