Camping on the lake again, we came 3 times last year as this has become a favorite spot and only 40 miles from home. Clear bright blue skies with a breeze blowing and it feels soooo good! Birds are chirping the cottonwoods are shedding and at the moment very low humidity. After being confined by the Covid19 pandemic the parks finally opened back up on May 21st, we knew the parks would be slammed and they were so we just waited for some of it to die down. So here it is almost 3 weeks later and this park is still pretty busy, we arrived on Sunday afternoon and there were probably 50-60 rv's still here a few have pulled out this morning but still pretty busy but it is quiet and no kids are screaming or dogs barking. Just a nice quiet relaxing atmosphere.
Yesterday the the beach was FULL, both parking lots were packed and people were parking in the grass and had their grills out cooking. I have never seen the beach that crowded in the 4 times we have been here, so this morning Jess and I walked past the beach and suprisingly the area was really clean, people threw their trash away like they should, what was left which is odd is the blankets, towels, iflatables, buckets and multiple toys, you know stuff you have to replace! lol Anyway we walked on and over by the spillway we came across a turtle probably 8-9" laying eggs in the mud along the path, just snapped a picture and let her get on with her business.
We are here till Friday morning so lots of relaxing and I brought a kayak with me so will do some paddling and actually bought a fishing license which I havent done for probably 5 years or better, not saying I will use it but I have it :).
Gonna grill some brats over the fire for lunch today and just sit and watch the world pass by!
