So,Why Are We Doing This?

Today we have over 1,000 people in our campground. It's like a little city and we are the mayor, sitting here in our host site, listening to complaints about the park service, government, their neighbors, everything! Last night was crazy, with all sorts of things going wrong, from toilets, to an elderly man falling and needing to be sent to the hospital. We didn't get to bed till past 11PM. But, we are making new friends, solving problems, and hopefully making this experience a nicer one for at least most of the people!
Harry now thinks he owns the place. He thinks he is big enough to fight a coyote that has been hanging around, and he loves the date grove across the street. Lots of good smells over there, I guess.
It's been unusually warm, 94 yesterday, breaking the record to date. Unfortunately, I've been too busy to go to the pool.
How we are enjoying keeping in touch with family more easily this year with Internet and cell phone connections! That makes so much difference to us. It's almost that magical time, 12 noon when the camping tags expire so we need to start checking for empty spots. If you are chilly, drive over to Death Valley and warm up!
