Crowded Park

Well all good things must pass.  We have company here at Mirror Lake.  A couple of tenters, a Class B and a pop up trailer.  AND a large group of scouts in the group camp.  Things change quickly.  Its crowded here.  Now we know for sure that "we are not alone."

Wildlife have moved into the area also.  We saw an eagle fly straight down the road directly at us.  It was well below the tree tops.  I thought we would be eagle lunch.  But it looked us over and kept going.  I think it was looking for something more palatable.   We have also seen several deer including a rather good sized buck with a a large rack.  The deer don't seem to fear us.  They just slowly go about their business after giving us the eye.  Perhaps they know we left our bazooka in storage.

Its been quite chilly the last few nights--down in the low 20s.  Cold during the day also with highs barely reaching 40.  The furnace has been getting a work out at night.  Our little (and cheap) ceramic heaters keep us adequately warm during the evenings. 

 It's amazing how dark the mornings are here in the woods.  If we got up with the sun, it would be well after 8:00 AM.  Ask me how I know.
