It’s a nice sunny morning but the wind is up. We contemplate staying for another day here,
the two families in front of us have moved on and it is now nice and
quiet. The wind is a bother though, but
probably just as well we have it - forecast is for temps in the 90’s again
today (30C+).
We’re on a peninsula again so take a wander around our loop to see if there is a more protected site,
with a beach. Although there are several
free sites on the calm side they don’t have flat access to the lake. So eventually we wander up to the Camp Host
and book another day on our site no. 35.
Not long after we get back, the Minnie Winnie in the prime spot on the
sheltered side of the lake leaves! Darn
– and we were worried about parking next to them and using their little beach.

This morning a truck arrives delivering multiple porta loos (?)
so while we are up at the Camp Host we ask what’s going on. They are hosting a big group from the 20th
and are expecting 1,000 people.
It’s only a small campground, 50 RV sites and 24 tent sites, don’t know
where they are going to put them all. We
will def leave tomorrow!
I’m sitting out at our concrete picnic table with a coffee
just reading and our tame squirrel (or one just like it) climbs up onto the
seat then the table, stands on his cute little hind legs and checks me
out. Precocious lil’ critter - not at
all timid. The wind is fluffing up his
tail, it’s three times bigger than his body.
Another book - done and dusted. Need to soon download another 30-40 to keep
me going, would hate to run out : )
So I am just walking out into the water to have a little
swim and this fishing boat passes in front of me, well within casting
distance! Yikes, don’t know where they
came from but I would be worried being so close to shore with this onshore
wind. They only catch a tiddler, which
is reassuring ‘cos I am swimming out here.
The wind drops in the evening as usual but there are thunder
clouds looming on the horizon.
