![]() They were on a tour with their Harleys that took them right past our campground! He’d sent an email the night before to say they were coming so it wasn’t a total surprise. Monday morning, September 13th, Walter’s old friend, Dave Munger, stopped by with his brother. By Monday it was cloudy and the temps had dropped into the 60’s. It was still warm on Sunday but by mid-afternoon the clouds started to come in and it cooled off. Now don’t you want to stop and ask these people a question or two? ![]() Sunday I got out the tripod and set things up so we could take a photo with our personalized Park Host sign. They went into town and got some charcoal to use in the fire circle and ended up having to put their tent up in the dark. Saturday evening we got to break the news to some campers that no they still couldn’t have a wood fire to cook their dinner on. But then all nine of them showed up again so all is well on the turkey front. We found a cluster of tail feathers over in the day use area-not a good sign. We didn’t see them for a few days and were worried. We’ve decided that this must be the mother of the brood. Once the snake had been fully swallowed, they wandered across the road to right outside our door. It took a while but she finally got it all down. She’d gobble it up and then part of it would show up again hanging out of her mouth. One of them had caught a snake and the others were chasing her. Late in the afternoon the wild turkeys came through. The water was cool but not cold and very refreshing on a hot day. I waded out across the algae coated rocky river bottom in my water shoes and shorts until I got to the deepest spot I could find-not even knee deep. I decided now was the time to figure out how deep the river actually was. It wasn’t that warm while we were working but by mid afternoon it had warmed up to 93. Sometimes there are just the ends of the branch and no cones attached.Īnd sometimes we hit the jackpot and get pine needles and cones all together. In the process sometimes they cut off more than they can chew. Most of these are Ponderosa pine cones that the Douglas squirrels are busy trying to eat the pine nuts out of. We spent an hour or so picking up pine cones over in the Day Use area across the road. Saturday September 12th it is was warm at Hilgard Junction.
