Home Tomorrow - If Nothin' Breaks

Days are getting long now.  We're tired and ready for our queen sized bed at home.  We were on the road about 5 hours today which is pushing it for us old folks.  But, after some hit and miss tries at finding our chosen campground, we finally found our way here.  We're at the Rock Ridge North Park on Fall Creek Lake.

It's a typical Corp of Engineers park in reasonable condition.  The season is over and the park will go into winter mode in two weeks.  The only people here are us and the camp host and his wife.  That's not to say we're alone, though.  The lake is shallow (even more so now as it is low) and seems to be a migrating bird stopover.  There are probably well over 100 white egrets across the lake wading in the shallows.  I saw a stream of large white birds with black tail and wingtips swoop along just off shore heading up into a cove.  They looked like they could be some kind of pelican, though I doubt that.  Then there are hundreds of this small bird in a cloud of wings skimming the water and suddenly swooping up and turning back.  They are just too far away and too small for me to make out what they are, but they look like some kind of shore bird like killdeer or tern.

Tomorrow is our last day on the road.  Home is about 225 miles so it will be another 5 hour day.  But, then we'll be home.  Today is day 15 of our trip.  We've had a really nice time.
