This post will cover the two days listed above as not enough happened in either to warrant its own page.
Its still hot as H- E - double hockey sticks! We did have a breeze today, oh heck, let's tell it like it is, it was a hot wind. It is so dusty here because we haven't had rain in ages. I almost hate to see a rig come in because as they make their way to their camp site they kick up all kinds of dust. There's a coating of dust on everything.
An update on the baby swallows: They are gone! I don't think Miss Kitty got them as Barb said they could fly although she wasn't sure about the smallest, weakest one. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it found the strength and is alive and well with its siblings.
Thursday we had a group of Winnabago's come in. These RV'ers are the early birds for the Gateway Winnie's that will be our guests this weekend. This group "camps" together once a month and the rest of them will arrive on Friday.
We're having entertainment in the campground this weekend, both Friday and Saturday nights. I really don't know anything about the singers that will be here so I'll have to tell you about them after they perform.
The weather man is still predicting temperatures in the triple digits for us for the next week. Will it ever end?
The Meramec River will be packed with floaters this weekend. We have all but one raft rented so far and we're putting dozens of canoes in the water. We're only one of four float companies that put in and take out at the same designated spots so the river will be jumping,,,,,and our guys will be tired! The canoes weigh 90 pounds a piece and they have to carry them downhill to the river and climb back uphill to get another one and make the trip again. Time after time after time until the canoes are all in our area at the waters edge, waiting for the floaters to come and take one. Then at the end of the day they have to take the canoes up a hill at the takeout point to load them on the trailers to bring them back to the campground. You should see the muscles these young guys have!
We had dinner at Burger King tonight. Its close by, its fast, its cheap and above all, its easy.
We relaxed the latter part of the evening, gearing up for a busy weekend.
