We have some early risers and some that like to
sleep in! But, nothing beats coffee in your comfy clothes with friends!
This campground is awesome and it is full of
wildlife! This morning’s visitor was a grey squirrel.
Rob and Sheila cooked us a dutch oven breakfast …
yum, yum, yum! Nothing beats some of the foods that Rob can cook in the dutch
oven! It is great to have a former boy scout with us! However, he did put a
small burn mark in the table from his tortilla warmer set up … oopppss!
This is our first trip to Tompkins COE campground,
our friends have been here before. When they were here last year, they were in
a different loop. Dana and Ricky scoped out these sights on the water and they
booked them as soon as the booking window. We booked in later and had to take a
site in a different loop. But I checked often and when a site opened up close
to them, we jumped on it.
Today is a relaxing day, waiting for the rest of
the gang to arrive. Even Marley is relaxing … no, actually his is on high alert
for the chipmunks, birds and squirrels!
This Blue Jay kept landing on Rob’s grill. She was
a beauty, but Rob was afraid she was leaving him presents in his pots!
The leaves look like they are starting to change …
perhaps, it is time to head south already?
The local animals certainly are not afraid of
anything! They just kept hanging around all day!
Sheila and Randy arrived and so did Dana
& Dawn …
Hail, hail the gang is all here!
Royce spent some time fishing today, however his
catches were not real big … but, he had a great time!
We enjoyed a group dinner, of pork loin and sides!
Dinner included Strawberry Shortcake with the cake
mixes I picked up from Wal-Mart. Strawberry shortcake would not be perfect,
without the can of whipped cream!
The sunset on the lake are excellent! You can’t
see it … but the dam is in the void you see in the center of the pictures. The
construction of Cowanesque Dam was completed in 1980. The dam embankment is
rolled rock and earth fill. It is 3,100 feet in length and 151 feet above the
lake bottom. Project purposes include flood risk management, water supply, low
flow augmentation, and recreation.
The fire tonight was bigger than yesterday. To
make it easier for everyone to get around the fire Dana and Rick moved the ring
into the center of their seating area. Lynn added the sprinkles that makes the
flames change color … ahhhhh, life is good!
