The day was not without some minor drama.

Actually, it began the night before.

About 8:00 p.m. 5 travel trailers arrived and were assigned sites on either side of me: 3 on 1 side, 2 on the other. Each one disgorged 3-4 children, multiple dogs and a plethora of child bike/trike plastic things. Noisy and chaotic as they were all back and forth and the children, some less than 2 were on their stuff, on the park road. Oh … also 2 extra trucks towing boats and all of the boating and lake stuff.

I toyed with just leaving but as it was hot and I was tired, I decide to just close up in the A/C, get a good night’s sleep and enjoy a quiet morning, leaving late-morning as planned.

I was shocked that the kids were out on their paraphernalia at 7:15 a.m.! Quiet time per park rules is 10 p.m. to 8 a.m.

So, no quiet outside time with my coffee.

Not the end of the world certainly, but aggravating!

I ended up leaving just after 9:00 a.m. instead of planned 10:30-11:00. Emmett benefitted as needing to kill some time before check in at Columbia Falls, we stopped three times for walks and I did a grocery shop as well. Even with that, we hit our destination just after 12:30. Thankfully, they know me by now and my spot was vacant so there was no problem checking in early.

Today is scary weather day as well. The forecast was for 91F with high winds as a front whooshes through. We hit the high and it is currently windy … fire weather. We are under Red Flag warning until midnight.

Assuming no overnight events, it is to cool into the 70’s for 2 days before warming back up. I hope the cool is correct and I plan to enjoy it as well as do some outside RV chores.

But, we are settled into our spot … not an end spot, but nice and the dog park that Emmett enjoys is very close. I retrieved the Yukon and we are set for 2 1/2 weeks.

That gate is the dog park entrance. It is a nice, shady little spot and Emmett typically spends time having a good sniff around as well as taking care of business!

Oscar recovered from his travel day hiding spot and got comfy on the cabover.

I laid down to cool off and rest … Oscar lounged against my stomach and Emmet found his spot …

They both are a bit clingy on arrival … even though we’ve done it, it is still a disruption in normal routine.

Me … I am tired and looking forward to a light supper, a rinse off shower and an early night. I hope no issues from the weather front.

Thoughts and prayers for all of the firefighters all over the world.
