After a somewhat delayed start to our day, we had a good drive from
Waterloo, arriving at the Park about 2:30 p.m. Friday. We haven't been
to the Park since the weekend of January 19, primarily as a result of
bad road conditions. Hence, there was a considerable accumulation
of snow around the RV and a lot of shovelling required, although not
much snow remained on the tarp.
This morning we had a nice breakfast at Mabel's (in Port Elgin) with friends and fellow winter campers, Maynard and Lorraine. This afternoon I did some more shovelling around the RV and climbed on the roof to
dislodge some remaining snow from the tarp. I found that three "tarp
supports" were broken, but with a couple new pieces of wood and some tie
wraps a repair was completed.
The Yurts are all booked
for the weekend but there are still some empty campsites. Late this afternoon
an RV trailer pulled into a nearby site.
The skating loop appears
to be getting lots of use by campers as well as day visitors to the Park. The birds are slowly
returning to our campsite, now that the feeders have been filled. However, the deer,
rabbits, flying squirrels etc. have noticeably been absent, likely due
to the heavy accumulation of snow and the greater number of campers.
