Saturday & Sunday, August 27th & 28th - Still at Timber Ridge

 Saturday - We didn't do much today, I don't like driving around on a donut spare. We did go to Best Buy to get the "right" cable to transfer data to my new tablet, to Aldi's for a little grocery stopping and to a Chinese buffet for a late lunch. We also stopped at the farm stand and bought another dozen ears of sweet corn.

I did do some work on the coach today. I reset the latches on three of the bay doors. I'm not sure I did it the best way, but they seem to latch better. Our main awning won't deploy. It's possible that the windstorm in Sault Ste Marie did do some damage to it, although it seemed to close OK. I don't have a long enough ladder to get up and get a good look at the top of the mechanism. I did use what we have to get on the top of the coach in Marquette, to clean it off after a storm. It was difficult to do and short of an emergency I'm not getting back on the roof until I have a better ladder.

As I walk around the campground I see more and more interesting sights. The painted rocks below are along the roadway that leads to the swimming pond, and other activity areas. The creativity of some people is amazing. How someone could look at a rock, "see" this butterfly, and then paint it, amazes me; same with the frog. There was also an eagle but I didn't take a photo of it. The "butterfly" has about a 3' wingspan, the "frog" is equally as large.

A little after 9PM I was setting at the table trying to get the data transferred to my new tablet when I noticed a parade of lit up bicycles go by, maybe 25. They were lit up with the tube lights wrapped around their rims and other places. It was quite colorful. We think that one of the kids crafts during the day must have been bicycle decorating.

Now that I have the "correct" data transfer cable I worked over an hour and still could not get data transferred to my new tablet.

Sunday - After breakfast I again tried to transfer data. I don't think I did anything differently than last night. This morning the transfer worked.

We didn't leave the campground today. We watched Charles Stanley deliver a message. He is always good. We took several walks around the campground. More interesting sights. I had used the air compressor station to add air to our low tire but I did not notice the bike repair station next to it. There are a variety of tools attached to the bottom of the cables, a rack to hold a wheel while you work on it and above the cables was a place to hang your bike from.

Twice we have seen a tractor pulling campers by our site. Today I saw 20-30 campers out in the woods, in a storage area. I wonder if some folks leave their campers here and when they make a reservation the staff moves their campers out of storage and to their reserved sites.

Kids were having a ball on this huge bounce pad. I think a young lady was giving them pointers on acrobatics. 

It has been quite warm the past 2 days. A high of 85 yesterday and 82 today. 

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
