Camp Wheeler !!

We are spending our first night at Camp Wheeler tonight. No neighbors in the campground at all!

We got the camper situated this afternoon and spread wood chips around in front of the door before putting up the awning. We have electricity and heat and filled the water before leaving Platte River. We are looking forward to being here and being able to work around the lot and watch the (slow) progress. It is starting to feel more and more like home.  In the days to come we will be clearing the dead trees and all the limbs that are laying around. We want to establish a fire pit and keep it going burning up all the dead fall laying around.

The weather forecast is for sunny skies for two days although still unseasonably cool. ( I notice that I dwell on the weather a lot on this blog, but since we have been camping all winter and spring we find that the weather dictates what we can do on a day to day basis. If its sunny we can do a lot outside even if it's cool, but cool damp weather is miserable and rain keeps us in the camper or driving around. The weather can make or break the day just like on any camping trip. We always hope for sunny and warm, especially after having such nice weather in Florida and part of the time when we were in Colorado).

That's all for now....
