Life at the park

I wasn’t going to post tonight, but thought I would just put in our two cents on camping. After work we went grocery shopping (we have 2 choices….Wal-mart and Kroger). We came back to the state park and found it was almost full. We were amazed at how many people came during the day, and are continuing to come in tonight.

We have seen many tent campers, pop ups, and even a Prevost. A Prevost is a very high end motor home, usually around 1 million dollars. Just think for a minute: where else would you have a person in a $50 tent parked next to someone in a million dollar house on wheels? And they all get along?

We have been listening to 2 guys with guitars a few sites over play everything from Johnny Cash to Elton John to The Travelling Willbury’s. Another site was having a big birthday bash. Just a few minutes ago, a couple pulled in with a pop-up and 2 teenage daughters. Once they got all set up in the dark, they plugged in their party lights. I think they should have plugged these in first, so they could have seen what they were doing!

It has been super quiet all week long and we love the noise and business of this evening. No matter what your choice of ‘home’ is, we are all here to enjoy the great outdoors. We are so happy Kentucky has a wonderful park for everyone of all types to enjoy. This is what life is truly all about.

….shop at Amazon!!  Today I was going around picking the merchandise, and my scanner said “Communion Wafers”.  I paused for awhile, as I thought these came from some special store, but apparently not!!  I guess they really do sell everything.

Makena wants to know which one of her dog blog followers ordered the book “The Wonderful World of Squirrels”?!!  I picked one of those books today.  Makena would like to borrow it, so she can look at the photos!

Dan said he was ready to call Human Resources today, to see if I told them to make him exercise more.  He was pretty pooped out tonight, as he had to pick in all 3 buildings.

When we got home, Makena was ready to play football.  During the week, the tent site area is empty, so we have been taking her over there and letting her run around off leash…..shhhh, don’t tell the park ranger!

Monday thru Friday morning, the tent site area is vacant.

It is really a beautiful area, right on the lake.  During the week, this area becomes Makena’s playland;

Playtime!!

RV’ers have a lot of pets.  Lucy has been trying everyday to get Makena to play with her.  She is very friendly, but Makena loves people, not other dogs.  Makena needs her cousin Reagan to come and visit to play with Lucy.  And Rudy can come down and chase all the ducks and geese that hang around the shoreline!

I just want to play with you!

Our new Kentucky home

“You have arrived at your destination on the right” said the excited voice on the GPS.  This after 48 miles of “incomplete map data, proceed with caution”!  We have arrived at our home for the next 3 months, Green River Lake State Park, in Campbellsville, Kentucky.  The state park is very nice, with 30amp service, water and free WI-FI.  However, we only receive 3 tv stations, and 2 of them are PBS, and I think the other is CW.  Now I know why most of the people here have satellite dishes hooked up.  I don’t know how much this park charges, as Amazon is paying for it.  They cover 2 days before your start date, and one day after.

Here is a shot of the row we are in.  All but one of the people in our row will be leaving tomorrow/Sunday, so it should be pretty empty around here.

Tomorrow we plan on driving around Campbellsville (about 9,000 in population) to see what there is around town.  We also have an overflowing laundry basket, so we may check out the “outdoor” laundry facility that they have here.

We met another couple this evening that will also be working for Amazon this season.  They worked there last year as well, and said it is hard work.

I do want to add one more photo from our trip to the top of the Arch in St. Louis.  Dan took this panoramic view with his camera.  I think all “smart phones” have this feature, and it does take a pretty nice looking photo, in my opinion.  So you may want to learn how to do this on your own phone.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!  We are now on Eastern time, so we lost an hour today.  Take care

Today will be a picture “quote of the day” from the back of the campground sign in Litchfield, IL.  You can decide which question is more important!
