Raleigh, Ship Cove, Cape Onion, and Dark Tickle.

Day 129 – When we got up this morning, it was 52 degrees and cloudy. The weather forecast was for some sun in the morning and rain later in the day. We decided to head out and grab the decent weather while we could. It’s supposed to rain for the next couple of days.

A STAY-AT-HOME KIND OF DAY.

Day 130 – It rained last night and all of today, and the wind gusts increased. The low temperature last night was 55 degrees. The high today was 59 degrees. The rain and wind continued. We didn’t go anywhere. When you stay home all day like this, you find out just how lazy your kitties are!

We, too, were lazy. We caught up on a few things, cooked up some Salmon & Brown Rice for dinners so that we wouldn’t have to do anything else but add Vegetables, and generally didn’t do much else. We played a few rounds of Sequence before dinner, and that was about it. There aren’t many people camping here anymore. Tomorrow is another day.

CROQUE & GRANDOIS.

Day 124 – The threat of rain remained for this afternoon, so we went out for a drive this morning. It was 61 degrees at 7 a.m., very cloudy with no wind. The girls have settled in here and they are happy with the campground. There are still no other campers here, no barking dogs or ATVs roaring around, so they are maintaining their normal schedules of eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping, playing, and sleeping.
