Today is Monday and the day after the big celebration and a long weekend as well as the first truly summer weather weekend of the year for this park. Our campground was completely filled in all 20 available sites and 6 of the 11 sites down at the horse camping area were in use. Next to our park is first an RV with many annual rental sites and next to that a mobile home park that is also mostly summer residents. there are also a number of nearby summer cottages and I do believe that every one of those was full as well. Our boat ramp was by far the most heavily used feature of the park with more than 80 vehicles in it as well as others along the road into the park. Over all it was a good weekend with very few problems and none at all from those who were staying in our campground. We did have one incident of a stolen ice chest, full of beer of course. It was never found but since it disappeared on the evening of the fourth, it probably went to the big beer & live music party in the park next-door to us, which was also the home of most of the rowdy folks to be seen. The neighbors did put on a great fireworks show for us and even quieted down before midnight.

All of this simply confirms my long held belief that there are far more good people in the world than there are bad and the camping world is one of the very best of the best. This week is a bit slower than we have had for a time as it seems everyone was here for the holiday and are now home recovering, but we do fill once more next weekend.  Tomorrow we are off once more to hit the tourist trail, planning to make a trip over one of the scenic roads that we have not yet covered and then stop at Mt. Rushmore for the evening program before we return here to base. I hope that everyone reading this had a memorable time on this special holiday!blush
