Another rainy day. Last night it rained hard and a lot. People still came in and set up in the dark and rain. We were watching a movie on Dish in our nice warm, dry motor home. Oh well, some of us have to sacrifice.

The campground tonight is nearly full. Not too many campfires are lit due to the on-again, off-again and mostly on-again rain. The campfires that are burning are producing much more smoke than fire.

Shannon is at the campground program. Every weekend, the park puts on programs Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday mornings. Campfire stories in which participants were to bring their chairs, bug spray and stories scheduled for last night got rained out. We thought maybe the program tonight would, but Shannon hasn’t come back yet. It is called “Music of the Mountains” by the Black Canyon Barbershop Chorus. They also had performed over the Memorial Day weekend. This is the swan song of weekend programs; so the chorus nicely bookended the summer.


I’m on duty to sell firewood and ice and do whatever a campground host is called upon to do. Oh, I have to control our dogs. They sit up on the dashboard and get excited by anyone, two-legged or four-legged, walking by. Especially Tuzi. She provides loads of entertainment for people walking by the motor home. There are an incredible amount of dogs in the campground this weekend; Tuzi is in doggie heaven just itching for a chance to take them all on. On the flip side of the doggie coin, Lilly is very friendly, goes up to everyone, craves people-attention, and would just as well go with them rather than back home with us. Tuzi is shy around people but wants to take on all other dogs. We have our hands full with NMI and RNMI.
