Where WhimSea Takes Us

We arrived at the campground at dusk, rather surprised by the lack of trees. There were a few campsites occupied, including, of course, the one next to ours. Given that it was halfway through October, the water and most of the bathrooms were winterized already already. Had it been earlier in the season, the site would have been perfect for its proximity to the head. But it was closed. There was, however, an open head at the nature center.

The next day we checked in, since they were closed when we arrived, and asked about a new site. Alas, they were fully booked for the entire weekend. We shouldn't be surprised, I guess, it was MEA weekend after all.

So, we returned to our site and got re-set-up. The site next to us had a fifth wheel, truck and trailer with ATVs. Quite a full site. We were surprised to see them parking in the adjacent campsite, but thought maybe they had thought ahead and rented two spots.

They eventually headed out with their ATVs and we pulled down the bikes to explore. It was a nice park, however, the sites were far too close together and there just weren't enough trees to block out the other sites.

The boy and I played the ladder game, and we were swarmed by ladybugs! They were everywhere. I absolutely need another vacuum for the RV. As it was, I didn't even have a broom. More things for the purchase list.

The park began to fill up, including the spot our neighbors were parking their ATV trailer in. I guess they didn't rent two spaces after all. So, when they returned they had to find another spot for their trailer. They took another site and went about fixing one of their ATvs. Luckily, they were able to finish before the person that actually rented that site showed up and they had to move once again. It became a bit of a game to watch.

In the meantime, the boy was busy making friends and running around the park. They played a game with flashlights in the growing dusk. Ghost in the graveyard I think they called it. It seemed to consist of them screaming and running about. But he was having a blast, clearly.

Another new camper and the neighbor is once again kicked out of the spot they were squatting in. They finally resigned themselves to using their own campsite, storing the ATV trailer and truck there instead. I guess our entertainment is finished.

Another night of kids running about in the dark, screeching and suddenly another adventure is over and we were packing for home.
