Sunday, 23 July – Lake Shenango, PA

I took some photos of the sunset last night, lots and lots of photos, I love sunsets!  However to save others from needing to stick red hot pokers into their eyes, I have limited my attachments accordingly!  Enjoy!

Sunset on Lake Shenango, PA

 

More of the sunset on Lake Shenengo, PA

The sun is coming out again this morning for our last full day here.  Need to go for a walk and see what’s happening in the camp, there are lots of campers leaving today, check out is not until 3pm though.  Well, in my ambling I came across these quite large and furry critters, with enormous front incisors – they are ground hogs!  One escaped into it’s burrow, turned and glared at me from within - I am not sure if they attack people?  Then I saw another two just sunning themselves out in the wide open, sharing their territory with the resident bunnies!  Ground hogs are much larger than bunnies, for the record!  Ground Hog Day must be scary!! 

Fat, furry grondhog!

Hiding in his burrow, lookit them teeth!!

We’ve made friends with our neighbours and the people across the road, they are related, but they are leaving today.  They gave us some good recommendations for where we might go once we cross over into Ohio though. 

By 4pm we have new neighbours, one side came in a brand new 40 ft motorhome, using walkie talkies to ensure painless parking!  But then promptly backed the coach into a tree - she was driving and he was only looking down low, until we pointed out that the tree up high was going to win.  We should not comment though, we have been in that position before! The neighbours on the other side are in a small camper van and he is proudly showing of his newly installed speakers, which I heard him say he got from Walmart.  Those speakers stayed on all through the night!  OMG - they also have two huge, fat, hairy old dogs too!  They all live in that little space?

I used the microwave tonight… and great work, it seems to be fixed, it will now cook for longer than 59 seconds at a time – woohoo!  That’s what a tap from a small hammer will do for you!  Oh well, the spare parts will absolutely ensure the problem doesn’t arise again, according to Murphy!!

Kim’s watching the Indianapolis Brickyard 400, already a block was bowled in pit lane (at 60 mph) and there have been lots of accidents.  We were thinking of getting to Indiana for the Motor Coach Rally and then catching the motor racing there this weekend.  Dang it - I think it would have been a good call, lots of action!
