Strolling Along the Shore

The lovely day invited us outdoors. Of course we did a bike ride this morning (still a struggle on the uphills). This afternoon we sat outside and read, our chairs facing the lake. We decided to walk down and explore the lakeshore. We were surprised to find the gravel along the water strewn with shells. They may be evidence of Asian clams, an invasive species.



While we stroll along, we notice a speedboat on the lake. The campground is full of boats.


We spent a good bit of time today working on fixing the leaks in our water filter canisters. The effort was complicated by the fact that the park water was turned off for a while. When it came back on, the pressure was extremely low. Now we're measuring around 30 psi. We've gotten the leak to a minimum and contacted Rick at RV Water Filters. He suggested replacing the teflon tape sealing the fittings, which we will try tomorrow.

Ken worked on my bike computer, but we haven't been able to get it working. We thought about replacing it, but then wondered how much we really need bike computers for the kind of riding we're doing these days. He lubed our chains and gears.

Unfortunately, my rear derailleur is not working. We must have messed something up when we changed the tire, but we don't know what.
