Well we are now at Kiser Lake. We arrived on Monday afternoon. There were a few campers left but not many. As of today there is one other camper other than our group. Ken and Kathy plus John and Doni came in tonight. Lastnight Kathy fixed chicken with stuffing and I cooked corn on the cob on the grill over an open fire. Later we had Ice Cream for dessert. Tonight I fixed fried catfish on the open fire and Hash Browns. We added some cornbread to the feast and stuffed ourselves. So about 7:30 it starts raining and so far hasn't let up yet. Not a hard rain but pretty steady. Nice to have the whole park to ourselves. We are backed up to the lake were we can look out at it in the morning while we drink our coffee. We will be here till Friday noon, then back to the shop so Ken and Kathy can prepare to leave on Saturday morning.
So today we went on a Geocaching trip to find one of my first Geocaches I hid here in the park. I gave Ken the GPS and might as well have given him a forked stick! :) He had a little difficulty finding it. I retrieved it and checked the contents to make sure they were dry, which they were. This cache has been found close to 100 times over the past 3 years. I have one on the other side of the lake found about 75 times but it is much harder to get to. For those that do not know what a Geocache is you can visit Geocaching.com , a geocache is a high tech treasure hunt. Someone plants a cache which is usually a container with some trinkets and a log book in it. They then post the coordinates on Geocaching.com and you retrieve the coords from there. Load them into your GPS and go find it. It is a lot of fun. Treasures are hidden all over the world and to find some in your area you just go to the website and put in your zipcode and it will retrieve all the ones near you. You would be suprised how many are close to you.
Well another day of loafing is in order for tomorrow. It is interesting to look out the back window of the RV and see the lake and to the North is a big dead tree that all the Buzzards sit in during the morning sun, apparently drying their wings or collecting heat. They just sit with their wings spread and eventually they all fly off to their jobs where ever that may be and then in the evening they return for a circling party and then fly home to where ever that is just to meet up again in the morning. Oh by the way, today I found a little baby gardersnake probably only 6 inches long. Cute little guy. I took a couple of picures and found him a home near the water where he could catch lots of bugs and grow big. Ken and Kathy spotted a Grey Fox running from back behind our RV across the road. Lots of HUGE fish jumping all day. A local Muskrat carrying a stick that they said looked like a shark going thru the water. Told them they were just fresh water sharks and not dangerous. Well that's it for now. More later from the lake.......
And another sunset says goodnight! Farewell my firey friend till tomorrow.............
