Cooking out, plans, and repairs

This evening, I got a campfire burning so I could cook my dinner.


There's nothing like a good old American tube steak (aka: hot fog...Hebrew National of course) grilled over an open fire!

Earlier in the day, I spent the afternoon planning my journey to and in Colorado. I'll be visiting Daniel and Crystal in Denver after my trip to Indiana to see Phoebe, my latest granddaughter.

This morning, I noticed that the nuthatches, chickadees and goldfinches are not the only ones taking advantage of the seeds I've put out for them.



A cute little chipmunk has found the bonanza of seeds underneath the feeders. This, of course, drives Emma to distraction!



Here's an interesting group of mushrooms that I found growing in the campground. The black border around each shroom seems to drip down the stems. Don't know what kind they are, but mushrooms are one of my favorite things.

Yesterday, I took the rig into Universal Marine and RV, in Rochester, to have some work done on it. They were able to get the water heater working using propane, but couldn't accomplish much more than that because of a lack of parts. I was having a problem with the levelers, and their solution was to take out the "brains" of the levelers. Of course, they didn't have the parts to fix the problem, so I was left with no usable levelers. That presented quite a problem for me since my site at Rice Lake is anything but level. I asked Swede for some help and boards when I got back to the park. Even with several boards on the starboard side, I'm not anywhere near level, but I can run the frig. That will have to do until they call me next week after they get the needed parts. The biggest issue with this problem is that although I filled the water tank, one half of it drained out before I could get set up due to the slope of the site. Grrrrrr...

  2. Thanks for the suggestion. I do love finding mushrooms; they are so diverse....I just wish I could find the mother load of morrels!
