MARCH 25 - SUN. & MARCH 26 - MON., 2012

SUN. - We went to church in the morning - St. Joseph of the forest. When we came back to our campsite, we were told that the site we reserved was now vacant & that we could move into it. So we moved our RV & everything to that site. It is a really nice site with a shade tree. While I was getting everything set up in the RV, (this will be our home for the next mt.) Richard took a bike ride around the campsite. It is a huge campsite over 400 sites. The site includes cable TV & Wi-Fi. Richard wanted to watch a race on TV & there is a shopping mall just down the road, so I went to do some shopping. Later we had supper & played a game of Scrabble (Richard won again) It was a rather quiet day.

MON. - We found out why they asked about the year of our RV. There are new owners of the campsite which is now called an RV"Resort" & they had had problems with people coming in with campers & being loud & messy, so it is now primarily for 55 & older camper's (most of who have newer RVs) The mgr. apologized & told us that the employee who made the comment to us should not have made us feel unwelcome being that we were here last year, & they did not charge us for the two days that we were here earlier than scheduled.So we were o.k. with that! We had to go shopping for supplies & so we did some sight seeing around the area. We saw a park & asked a ranger if they had bike trails, which they did. So we went back to the campsite & put away our groceries & took our bikes to the park. Well we started out on the bike trail which was packed sand, but soon turned to soft sand, which was very, very hard to pedal in, in fact even Richard had to get off his bike & walk it a ways. After about 1 mile, we decided to turn around & go back. It was just too hard to ride. When we got back to our starting point, we noticed a sign warning about black bears in the park!! (see picture) We met another park ranger who told us about a bike trail about 5 miles down the road. So, of course we went to see it & decided to try it out. It was really nice & PAVED! We only went about a mile because we were really tired from the other trail. We got back to our RV had a light supper & played another game of scrabble ( Richard won again) Before this trip is over I am going to win one!!
