Relocation Successful!

We were delighted to find momma sandpiper settled on to her relocated nest when we stepped out of our camper the next morning. Seems it took her a couple of hours that evening to find her 'babies' and venture back, but at least she did so before the night chill set in, so they were warm & toasty. By the time we pulled out Friday morning, she had camping neighbors on each side of her and she was set for the holiday.

Didn't have far to go Friday, as we headed north about 35 miles to the Augusta/Gardiner KOA. Looks to be a warm one - for it was 85 degrees at 10:00 a.m. - the A/C kicked in as I was cooking breakfast at 7:30! We heard it hit 95 degrees and boy, did we feel it! Got settled in here and spent time 'catching up' with all the happenings over the winter. Roger donned his grubbies once again and pitched in to help Earl do the final clean-up on the refurbished men's restroom, so it would be open for the weekend.

These folks are a bit behind in getting open this year. Couldn't be helped, as Earl ended up - quite unexpectedly - in the hospital. He's recovering nicely, but when something like that happens when you are trying to get open, you end up playing 'catch up' for the rest of the season. Opening the pool wasn't a priority, since they have had such a cold spring. But now it's 95 degrees and everyone is asking about the pool. I told them to break out the water balloons - or water hoses; even better, throw a pool opening party and let the kids play as it fills. The water is going to be so cold, that no one will linger long.

It's good to have a couple of days 'off' - plan to relax & kick back a bit - have had a couple of long days on my feet - and my knees haven't let me down, but they do let me know that they are tired. Not sure what the weekend will hold - no particular plans.
