My humans took me for a long walk. They let me go all over the place as long as
I was on their leash. I will take what I
can get. I hate to tell them, but they
are stifling my ability to hunt. But I
do like the smells. ME-OWT!
Rudy is on me. He is
trying to tell me something, but I continue to sleep. I normally do not sleep real well... leave me
alone... I sleep. Spouse sleeps... We
awake at 8:30! I can't remember sleeping
that late in the last 10 years at least!
Ouch! We missed the fishing
bite! We will try anyway.
We walk over to the lake and cast our lines. There are fish jumping, and they are laughing
at us! You slackers! We were over there earlier now we are here
and you can't get us!
Bwaaaaahhaaaa! After about 20
minutes with only a nibble, we realized our attempt was futile and we went back
to Hannah.
Spouse had a bit of a headache from hitting his head against
Hannah. (Hannah was ok, thank
goodness). So he didn't feel like
walking. We readied Hannah, and I left
the man stuff to him to finish while I started walking out. He would pick me up on the way out. It was a beautiful walk through the forest. Two other campers had come in this morning,
so I was not too afraid of running into wildlife. I made it all the way to the highway and
started back when Spouse showed up.
Perfect timing.
We were less than 20 miles from Stanley. It is evident that a wildfire had come
through here recently. We found out it
was only last month, and that the highway we were on had been closed for
weeks. They had evacuated all the
campgrounds up to where we were going.
That is devastating to a small town like Stanley.
Our batteries are low, we need to recharge everything. We stayed in the Elk Mountain RV park last
year. To me, it is like going home to
Mayberry. Is it the best rv park? No.
The sites are woodsy which is nice.
They are not crazy close together, but not far apart either. There is no fishing on the site. But there is fishing all around. But what makes it charming is the restaurant
and the people. Home cooking, friendly
folks, and of course a real draw for the Spouse-meister - FREE coffee and FREE
laundry!
We hook up Hannah and did every bit of laundry we
could! We decided to stay until Monday
morning. We are tired of moving every
day, even though some days we go for just a few miles. Time to stay put and regenerate. I am reveling in the electricity! And the internet! You may have noticed I haven't posted for a
while. I do make a point of writing every
day. I usually do not post my blog on
the same day that I write it as I always think of more to say. But, I can look back 4 days and realize I
already forgot so many details, so it is important to me to write every
day. I look back on blogs from previous
years and am so thankful that I have done this, even if it is a pain sometimes.
So now with Hannah sparkling clean, let me get out the
electric coffemaker. Or I may just go
inside and get coffee tomorrow morning.
Oh decisions, decisions...
Note to Spouse: If
you stop walking into things, your head might not hurt!
Another note to Spouse:
If you take it out of a cupboard, PUT IT BACK IN WHEN YOU ARE DONE! Is this a guy thing?
