Yesterday we moved to a better campsite at Delmoe Lake!
It’s better for many reasons.
The Best Little Trailer is in the shade and the Perfect Tow Vehicle is in the sun. It’s quieter here than at the other site. I like the soft, soothing sound of wind brushing through pine boughs overhead. The lake can be seen from inside the BLT and from the picnic table.
A path goes from the campsite down to the beach.
I leave my camp chair along the path.
I take the chair out onto the beach so I can sit and watch the ducks and wading birds through my monocular. Also I can keep an eye on Bridget and Spike as they wander around on the sand.
Should I travel more?
That’s what I ask myself. We’ve come so far and I have no doubt that grander places to camp and explore are not a long way from here. However, I’m content where we are now. I feel like I’m on a vacation that can last as long as I wish. We will leave soon, but I’m not in a hurry to go.
I like to read my kindle books sitting right here.
Last night as darkness fell, coyotes howled from across the lake. Later, after Bridget and Spike fell asleep and while I was dozing off, I heard the hoots of an owl. Deer visit the campground.
The lake level continues to drop.
Of course, that means . . . more mud! If you take a close look at the first photo, you’ll see that Spike has his black boots on. After I took that photo, I ran up the path to intercept him before he jumped into the BLT and onto the bed. If I can keep him outside for a few minutes, the mud dries and falls off.
You know Spike has to go back for more!
How different is sweet Bridget . . . Little Miss Clean and Tidy.
She wouldn’t dream of stepping in mud!
This morning Bridget took off after a chipmunk, chasing it up a tree. Apparently she didn’t learn from The Oregon Chipmunk Incident when she injured her leg. I do remember the worry and indecision about whether to put her under the knife. I’m glad I didn’t opt for surgery.
Remember this photo?
It was taken September 5, 2012, when the crew and I spent the day exploring Florence, Oregon. People thought I was playing favorites by pushing Bridget in a stroller while Spike had to walk! That stroller was instrumental to her healing.
The registrations for the PTV and BLT are due this month.
When we come off this mountain, I need to drop a check in the mail to the Pennington County Treasurer in South Dakota in the amount of $138.50. The registrations will go to my mail forwarding/legal residency company, America’s Mailbox, and then I’ll have them send the registrations with sticker to a post office . . . wherever we may be.
Hmm . . . “wherever we may be.” I don’t know where “wherever” is!
