Camping season has begun

This past weekend, we started the camping season at Boonesboro State Park. It's closer to home in case anything goes wrong. We were in site # 142 in the back corner of the campground.

The spot was a nice one, if a bit on the short side. The camper is a smaller one, so everything fit in Ok. Natalie wanted me to wait until she got out of the picture, but I didn't.

Here we are all set up and enjoying the sunshine. It did rain Friday night, but the rest of our stay was nice weather.

We picked up a new mat for the steps. I like it.

We got to spend some time watching the river flow past. There wasn't very much boat traffic. That was surprising. I should have brought a fishing pole. I will next time.
 

Fishing trip to Cave Run

This morning, Natalie, Heather, Willow and I went fishing. We went to Cave Run Lake, mostly because it's close by if anything goes wrong. This is the first time out for the boat this year.

We had a beautiful day to be out on the water. It started out on the chilly side , but warmed up very nicely.

There was a bunch of tree swallows resting on this old tree truck sticking out of the water. We got to watch them for a little while.

I beached the boat near Twin Knobs to wipe some of the dust off the top of the boat. Willow had fun running around in the sand.

The view of Twin Knobs from the middle of the lake. The water is still on the cool side (61), but is warming up fairly quickly now. We got a few nibbles today, but didn't catch anything.
 

Finally here!
