I can’t believe how much we sleep
here, I will never get back to normal when we get home!
The sun is out and it is warm,
not too hot, as we set off on our exploration along the Lakeside Trial, 1.5
miles around the lake. It’s pretty, the
lake is calm, kayaks and paddle boats are out and there are a lot of people
around at the swim beach. There is a
food concession there also where we buy a big glass of ice cold hand squeezed
lemonade. We continue around the lake
crossing the dam at the end which is close to our campsite. That’s the exercise for today!

The dam was built in the 1930’s
by CCC boys (Civilian Conservation Corps).
This was a group created by President Roosevelt to relieve the rampant
unemployment in the great depression, the young men received food, clothes and
a small pay check in return for building roads, bridges, fire trails, telephone
lines, recreation facilities etc.
Most gaps are created by streams or rivers flowing through them, unusually Cowans Gap was created by wind.
We spend an hour or two outside
in the shade reading and just blobbing.
Kim takes it upon himself to wash the windscreen now the sun is off it and
then he pulls down the venetian blind in the bathroom to give it a
birthday. He gets as far as getting it
off the wall before he runs out of ideas on how to clean it. I guess that’s what wives are for.
Spend some time figuring out
where we go next but have come to no firm conclusion, so we will wing in
tomorrow once we leave here. Def need to
get somewhere with at least cell coverage, if not WIFI too. We have no idea what’s happening in the
world.
