New Gate

Date: January 13, 2024

Cold and a bit windy today with snow and ice in our near future to keep things interesting. Maybe the OFM will be healthy enough to leave right after Christmas next year and head down to south Texas where 45F is a bad cold spell and the camping is free. But now we have to survive this weather that has us sheltering in place.

At least we have plenty of good food in the area like tonight's supper of chicken and mixed salad with BBQ sauce and cheap root beer, Wow we like that.

Meanwhile we suited up in warm clothing and hit the road for a walk this afternoon in the bright sunshine. Going out the back entry at the soccer field let the OFM team admire the new lockable gate on the path. This picture is from inside the soccer field looking back into the campground.

We went on from there on the walking trail to where the main drainage from the campground heads out to Flint Creek. We were surprised to see about a foot of new water in the drainage.

The local egret had set up for food hunting already and posed for us to get a picture.

The rest of the evening we spent time trying to get a traveling plan figured out or reading our favorite travel blogs for inspiration on places to go. Have a nice evening every one.
