It’s our 234th Month-a-versary. Our 20th anniversary is only 6-months away. It’s a cold morning. The outside temperature is just 50-degrees. This is quite a difference from the temperatures we had just a few days ago. I almost feel like clicking on the heater. The weather radio says this weather pattern will continue for another day before warmer temperatures return.
This campground was full last night. Also, the Quechee Campground was full yesterday. I guess the summer travel season has started. The only full campground we preciously encountered was Horses Neck State Park in West Port, MA on June 16th.
Today is a down day. Our chance to relax and maybe do a little more trip planning, reading, and taking a nap or two. We had the last of the oatmeal we brought from home this morning and we split an English muffin smothered in the Chock-Cherry jam we bought yesterday. The jam had only a slight hint of cherry, very mild in flavor and not overly sweet. Other than that, I can’t really describe its taste.
The three young campers in the site next to us were packed up and gone this morning. Within an hour the Vermont Campground cleaning crew had the site restored to pristine condition. Vermont has the cleanest state campgrounds we have seen. The staff seems to be fanatic about cleanliness. The bathrooms are checked and cleaned at least four times each day and the interior roads are checked daily and spots not meeting requirements are raked into compliance.
The bathroom facilities are standard campground issue. The showers that are nearest our site charge 25-cents for 5-minutes. The volume and temperature are preset. I would have liked to set the temperature a little hotter. It still was a nice shower. The attached dressing area was large than average.
