We're "camped" at Sandy Oaks RV Resort, an ownership park set into a heavily wooded area south of town. Our friends Bill and Diane own a lot here and stay the summer in the cooler climate of Michigan. They invited us to join them while we're waiting for our furniture to be made, and were kind enough to find a site near them that the owner was not using, and worked out a rental fee for a few days. We appreciate their efforts, and have enjoyed their company for the last few days.
The sites are heavily treed, which is both a blessing and a curse. It's shady pretty much all day long, but the shade contributes to a larger humidity index. The trees also put an end to any hope of receiving any television channels! The huge upside is that everyone we've met in the park has been extremely friendly. As I write this, it's Friday night and several families have arrived for the weekend. Unfortunately, it's raining like gangbusters, with a prediction of more rain tomorrow! There won't be very many aluminum pontoon boats on the lake tomorrow since these storms seem to always be accompanied by heavy lightening and thunder.
As you know, one of our passions is eating. Wherever we go we sample local dishes. While we've been here, we have not had much of a chance to do that, since Bill has cooked for us! He has a Green Egg grill and is a master of the machine. Chicken and steaks have been jumping off the grill, to our great delight. Tonight we went out to a local restaurant called Spikehorn for the Friday night fish. Very good! Blue Gill, Salmon, Whitefish, and Cod were available choices, along with Clam Chowder if desired.
We intend to do a bit of sightseeing soon, so we'll keep you updated on our travels!
