Settling into a routine.

Update on Nancy, our relative who is undergoing brain surgery.  Yesterday she was supposed to have surgery but is now suffering from pneumonia.  We received a call today saying that the pneumonia has just about cleared up and she will be going to surgery on Monday.  We are praying that all goes well.  The doctors have told the family it is a very risky surgery.
Friday morning we checked the fire pits and campsites then drove up and down the main corridor to the park looking for trash along the roadside.
The maintenance staff invited us to have lunch with them.  It seems they have tradition of cooking brats on Fridays for lunch.  We met three other park employees while we were there.  A big thank you to the maintenance staff for a tasty lunch.
Saturday morning we hosted our first “Coffee with the Campground Host”.   We were surprised when we had 10 to 12 people show up.  Everyone stayed a visited a while.  The majority of them were return campers to the park.  Later on we checked all the fire pits and campsites in the park and our job was done for the day. 
I finally snapped more pictures of the park.

  1. Thanks for sharing about your first days at your new location. What a nice idea to have coffee with the campground host. I'd certainly stop over if we were in the area.

  2. The park looks empty! Is there a place to fish there? I have not located it on the map yet but will when I finish the journal reading. Enjoy reading about you day.
