Population Boom

We've had our loop of the campground pretty much to ourselves, but today it seemed that every time we looked out the window, another RV was arriving. Kids were out playing and riding bikes. People were setting up. Definitely a population boom in the campground! We think that many of them are her for a family reunion. One unit arrived late last night, and the folks told us that they were expecting to be joined by many more family members today.

We biked around the park again today and checked out some of the areas we missed yesterday. One sign with an arrow pointing into the woods was labelled "Magnolia Brushy Arbor." We walked in to see what that meant and found this small amphitheater and gazebo.

There were some magnolia trees in the woods nearby, and a large carved magnolia blossom hung in the gazebo. The place looked a bit the worse for wear, but it has a wonderful view of the lake..

We tried to do some more trip planning, but our Internet connection is frustratingly slow (as in try to load a page and go away for five minutes). We did get some more chores done, including spraying the hitch with white lithium grease to see if that will quiet our noisy hitch. Ken also cleaned and sprayed the slide mechanism on our large slide, also in hopes of quieting the squeaks.

This evening the thunderstorms and heavy rain returned. Looks like we'll have raindrops on the roof to lull us to sleep tonight.
