This place got pretty busy this weekend. And windy yesterday and today. It is not so nice at the beach. Yesterday ended up being a good day to visit the laundromat. Three big loads and we are good for another couple weeks now.
Also? We are surrounded by dogs. There are over a dozen in our immediate vicinity. The only time we have seen the couple from the motorhome across from us is when he or she brings out their FOUR Scotties for a campground walk about. (In various combinations of 1 to all 4 of them). Yipping noisy Scotties. That first night? All. Night. Long. The host spoke to them and it was better last night. Their van was gone this morning so maybe they were just driving them about all night? Another couple got the boot after their first night here. Their much larger dog was even worse. He went absolutely crazy every time a dog walker went by. And yes, that would be constantly. We will be glad when the weekend is over and it gets quiet in the park again. We really miss that private space we had for those first four nights!
A couple people have asked about the Government Shutdown. We haven't been aware of anything in this area. Nobody is even talking about it here. We certainly would have been upset if we had arrived at those previous National Parks we were at – the Arches and Canyonlands - and found them closed. How devastating for those people who have come from all over the world to visit and see them. I can't even imagine what it is like around Moab right now. That is one busy place in the midst of numerous National Parks and so much of the daily business is providing rentals and access (jeeps, bikes, bus tours etc.) for tourists in to the Parks. Even their websites are shut down right now.
That is about all from here. Ron went on a bit of a hike and I will head to the beach shortly. We haven't come up with a plan for when we leave on Tues. yet.
NOTE: These photos are from our 2010 visit here. They are some of my favourites photos ever. The flowers and the butterflies are in abundance once again this trip..
