CHECKING OUT THE PARK AREA

It was a little warmer last night with it reaching 11C. Today was cloudy with a high of 21 and a slight risk of rain, but it didn't happen.

We sat out in the am. and went for a bicycle ride to p/u some more drinking water. This is giving us some exercise and gets us out to talk to other people. We continue to run into other people from Ontario. Today it was a fellow who drove a bus for the City of Mississauga and now spends the winters here doing work-camping. Meaning if they work 3 days a week they get their camp site free.

This afternoon we did another bicycle ride to explore the campground area some more. We found a small pond in the first area of the campground to be developed that added a little more scenery for the area.

There is also a longer lake called Llano Grande Lake running along the one side of the campground with a levy/berm. We were able to ride along the top of the levy and look down at some of the adjacent sites and the lake. We heard some loud banging going on and discovered it was a guy on the other side of the lake shooting his guns. It sounded like shotguns and he later switched to a pistol. A few feet away from him were a couple fishing in the lake with no concerns it seemed.

                                   They also have a dog washing station beside the dog walk area.

On our journey we also found a orange tree on a camp site and picked a couple which will be used for tomorrows juice.   


This evening we hosted the happy hour and had 14 people over with their lawn chairs and drinks to socialise. They are a great bunch.
