Doing Fine

Sorry, I haven't posted in a while, but we have been up to our armpits (oh, that's not a pretty picture) in organizing stuff here at the campgrounds. We've had to treat and pull samples for all the wells and take them down to be tested prior to opening. There were a mountain of uniforms to sort through and then paperwork and forms to find and organize. Oh, then there are all the totes and bags of various signs to go through and decide what needs to be put up.

Well, we're almost ready. Our camphosts will arrive this weekend and Monday we start cleaning the seven campgrounds together. That should build a team spirit for the summer.



We've had three camphost back out for one reason or the other, so we'll do with what we have and double up on the campgrounds. It will all work!

We only have snow still in one campground at Tucker Ponds so that one will have to wait to be opened for a couple of weeks.



This is the view out our dining area window early in the morning. Isn't that pretty? Yes, Jim and I are still waking up at 4-6 am. We've done it all our lives and can't seem to change things.

I'm trying to get use to being in high altitude again. It's 8200 feet here in South Fork and will be 9200 when we move up to Big Meadows, so the heart is pumping a bit harder here than in Florida. It's pretty hard to beat waking up to the birds singing in the Ponderosa pine trees. Then you go outside and hear the Beaver Creek roaring nearby full from the spring runoff. It is nice to be home in the mountains!!!

  1. Back in the fifties my folks would camp on Beaver Creek in So Fork. I was a mini-teenager at the time and remember it being a very rustic place to camp, but they'd go back every year for several years to the same place. We were living in Wichita, KS at the time and it was the highlight of their summer vacation to hang out there with the Army surplus tent and Coleman stove and lantern.
