Wheatland COE, Pomme De Terre Lake (Jun 20 - 22, 2023)

 

Since I didn't have internet I kept a log in Evernote and just copied it here but added the pictures.

June 19, Monday

• Slept good be woke up early. Going camping at Wheatland Park on Pomme De tar Lake.

June 20, Tuesday

• Got to Wheatland COE and it turned out there is not any internet. I am able to text and sometimes get email. I think the email comes through when I go for a trike ride because i seem to occasionally connect. The booster doesn't seem to work at all.
• Had a good drive down with little to no wind. Just took my time and i felt good. It turns out that Wheatland is just a few miles down the road from Buck... This is a nice park and I am able to get 1 out of 3 satellites' so I am able to watch a few things but never sure what is going to work. I have also watch some some DVDs.
• Wheatland sites are nice, with rock driveways, but they are closer together that many of the COEs I have been but still have a little distance between them. I am on #30 which faces the beach and that wouldn't be bad except for the noise and I do get some view of the water but not a lot. The activity side of the site faces the SE so I get a lot of sun and the awning helps a lot there. Site #15 and #22 are pretty good but probably no satellite. Site #80 is the best site.... good view and should be clear enough for satellite.
• This site would be good if I had my boat because I could launch it close by.... site 22 backs up to my site and would be better for boat launching but probably less good for satellite.
• Took a ride over to site #80 and it is not only best for views, but I was able to get a little more internet connection. I was able to make a phone call. It looks like that is going to be my favorite site when I come back.

June 21, Wednesday

• Slept really good
• Fix French Toast & bacon over a fire this morning. It seems I can use a fire to cook breakfast in the morning in the summer and supper in the winter. Spring and Fall I can fix anytime.... depending on temps.
• Found that internet is illusive. Sometime just riding my bike I find a sweet spot where it connects but it does always last.

Saw this deer on one of my trike rides and didn't seem to bother her at all.

June 22, Thursday

• Got up after pretty good nights sleep but it was kind of short.
• Fixed blueberry pancakes and bacon over a fire.... tasted good.
• Drove back home and stopped in Camdon (?) and got gas at $2.95.... everywhere else it was $3.19 -3.40. I had noticed it was $3.03 on the way down so decided to stop there on way back. I was a little concerned but had about 7 gallons left.. so at 9 mpg and could have gone about another 63 miles.
• Got refrig emptied before crashing.
