Hardisty happenings

I love when your campsite is private and you can open all the blinds in the morning. Also, when the sun shines in and the only sounds you hear are from the song birds. No overhead air traffic!! So, yes, that is what we awoke to this morning. 

Yesterday we had light rain on and off, but we sat under the canopy with our propane firepit. Today? Perfect weather until mid afternoon. We rode our bikes around the area. It really is a nice little park. There is a good sized sandy beach with a great children's playground. It is a perfect camping spot for young families. Rhonda (Kesslar) Walker's father-in-law comes from this area and they bring their grandchildren camping every summer. In his words, it's the "best kept little secret". He is right about that. We will come again.

Beautiful sandy beach

This afternoon we decided to ride our bikes around the small lake. Not the best timing. When we got to the other side of the lake, the wind came up and it was heavy duty pedaling. And then came the rain. Nothing like rain to make one pedal faster. We got wet. Probably not enough for them to lift the fire ban, however. 

I am sending this email and posting some pics using the town library wifi. It looks like the shower has now passed over and the sun is coming out again. We haven't come up with a plan for tomorrow yet. We will see what the morning brings!
