Day 2

Up and at ‘em…at about 9:30 am.  Actually, I was up at 6 am and walked Ditto, but I went back to bed after that.  Now that we’re up for real, I walked Ditto again so she could chase squirrels.  It was still dark at 6 AM so she had been cheated of that little life’s pleasure.  As we (Ditto and I) returned, I noticed a weird orange stain running down the front of the RV above the windshield.  A huge stain.  I got out some spray windshield cleaner and my squeegee and tried to clean it, but it wouldn't come off.  I hope it will come off later when I get a chance to do it right.  Sure looks awful, like someone sloshed orange Kool-ade on it.

Well, we’re off track.  Can you believe it?  We wound up heading more southerly than my plan.  It’s amazing what a 1-2 hour late start can do to shift the entire plan.  We angled southeast instead of northeast.  A rest stop in Maysville, Ky.  They had a nice city park.  We parked under a tree and watched an old black man slowly working on a smoking pipe while sitting at a nearby picnic table.  I didn’t watch for long, as I soon dozed off.   So, tonight we’re camping in Wrangler Camp on Land-Between-The-Lakes.  It’s a horse camp with several horses and a mule or two in among the camps.  Needless to say, Ditto is very interested.
  





The campground is mostly wide open to accommodate large horse trailers and large 5th wheel campers.  Big dually pickups abound here.  Luckily, it’s a cool cloudy day, so shade is not needed.  That gave me the opportunity to set up my Dish TV satellite and catch up on the news tonight.  What?!  No news?!

Oh, when we first arrived and were assigned a camp spot, we found a squatter on the site.



It was a woman traveling by bicycle.  It sure looked like a lot of stuff to pack on a bike, but she managed to pack it all up the next morning and wave as she pedaled off.  Actually, the campground keepers knew she was there but just forgot to reflect it on their map.
