Shady Bend Campground

Today we moved to a campground located in a bend of the Kalamazoo River. It's a lovely setting, but our early experience has been less than delightful. First, the mosquitoes and maybe some other bugs, are kamikaze attackers. They are out day and night, and leave welts (personal experience). On the other hand, I am looking forward to tubing the river this Saturday. The campground offers a shuttle service on the weekends. That's one of the reasons this place seemed attractive. We've paid for a week--maybe we'll go buy a screen room.

From our rig we can look both upstream and downstream along the river.

So far we have been unsuccessful at locating the DirecTV and HughesNet satellites. The lovely shade means trees obscure the southern sky. That makes us think it might be worthwhile to buy an inclinometer--a device that is designed to help locate the dish where there is a view between the branches.
