End of the first camping trip of 2014

We are nearing the end of our first camping trip of the year. It's a nice end though because we are here on a Sunday night, and I love Sunday nights at the campground. Most folks have gone home, and the place is quiet. It's always interesting to watch the rv parade around noon or so as everyone leaves knowing that you still have one more night. Granted this isn't always the case for me, but an extended weekend now and then isn't bad.

Today we visited Cabela's in Columbus which was a 2 hour excursion. We probably make it there once a year so we take our time looking through everything. They have interesting stuff there that you don't find at the local Dick's or Gander Mountain. Plus they have RV parking which we actually used the first time we stopped there. They even have a dump station which means they're really serious. Of course we ate at the cafe which isn't too shabby, and because there are no clocks or windows it's like a casino, and you know you have to leave because your bladder reminds you that it's been several hours already.

We also went to a local Metropark and walked a few miles through the woods and some bird filled meadows. I love the beginning of Spring when all the birds return. It also seems like Columbus is about a week ahead of home in terms of things blooming back to life. Although I'm going to be interested to see if my pear trees are in bloom when I get home.

Tomorrow rain is in our forecast so the awning is coming down tonight. Taking down and hitching up in the rain isn't so much fun.  Hopefully we'll be able to get the trailer back into its parking space when we get home.  So tomorrow we will join the very small RV parade leaving around noon. Until next time.
