Civilization!

…well, for a day…

Barb and I are relaxing at a mutual friend's house in Grand Rapids.  So nice to have the comforts of civilization for a day.   Being totally pampered…

We stayed at Hartwick Pine State Park last night.  We decided to take our chances on a Saturday because there were lots of parks and if all else failed we could keep driving to Grand Rapids.  I stopped at the "contact station" and walked up to register.  We got the last spot!  Yay!  We drove in to the campground and our spirits drooped, no shade, and it was a hot day.

…so we were so happy to find that our spot, #87, was in the shade !  Yay!  Score!  We were glad that our last night camping would be a good one.

The forecast was for rain, but we watched the radar and everything south of us was nasty red on the radar, but it stayed south of us.  So glad we stopped there for the night.

Storm clouds south of us...

So this morning we decided to take our time and get some exercise.   Saw some beautiful old growth pine forests… then came back and packed up.


Theo watching us pack up…

..not so sure he wants to get back in the van… but he's a good sport.
