The trip to Indian Creek was 'fun'... Had strong head and side winds all the way so my baby was eating gas like crazy, but once I got here it was well worth it. Got site 110 and it is an absolutely wonderful site on a hill which has a view of the lake even with all the trees. The weather is quite cool on arrival and got down to 27 by Tue morning. The winds, of course, make it feel cooler. Everything is working well on the RV and setup wea very easy. Fixed a fire and has some BBQ chicken strips for super which were delicious. Just spent the day enjoying God's beautiful creation and giving thanks for allowing me to enjoy it.

Slept really good, especially for a first night. I think I am getting things tweaked to be sooooo comfortable. I did have an issue where lost power and found out that the cord plug into the camper seems to be a little faulty.... have to find just the right spot to make it connect.
Had breakfast inside since the temperature was in the middle 20's. But did have a fire later in the day, although I didn't cook anything on the fire. The temps did get up to close to 50 but with the wind it still felt cold. I got the bike out and took a fairly short ride which was again quite cold. Hoping to go further tomorrow since it is suppose to be a little warmer with less wind.

Slept really good again.... maybe even better. Only got up once to go the bathroom when I saw that the power was out again. Got my robe and slippers on and just went right to the plug again which was again the problem. Found that 'sweet spot' so the power was connected again.
Had pancake this morning but again fixed it inside with temps still in the 20's. Still like the cold or hot temps since I can control the warming up instead of cooling down. Sure been lazy in the morning with not getting dressed until about 10:00 am.
Took a nice long bike ride.... seems to be working pretty good but being careful. Still pretty cool even though the temps are near 50. Even took a nice walk along one of the trails, but didn't go very far.... just don't have it in me anymore.....
Fixed steak and baked potato this evening which was absolutely delicious. Then about 7:00pm took another bike ride to see the Halloween decorations. Turned out to be wonderful. Stopped and talked with a lady who told be the history of the event. Seemed her mother, who is now 74, was part of the group that started the event 37 years ago, and her family has been participating in it every year since.... four generations of them. It has gown so large, 3500 - 4000 people come to do the Halloween walk every year. They close down that section of the campground to do it. They have even limited the number of cars that can get into the park. The participants really get into the displays. These are just some of them:

Last day and it is kind of sad. Slept really well last night.... the recliner is working perfectly. Temps this morning are a little warmer... mid- 30"s. Right now watching the sunrise over the lake.... God is sooooo good.
