We left for Bridgeport around 1030 on Sunday thinking we would get a campground after people left for the weekend. We did, and the kids were happy. So as soon as we set up they went fishing. Had a nice evening and then some "smorfs" and off to bed.
One thing that was really nice, we have an America the Beautiful pass that we spent $80.00 on for the year (have done it for years)...now we find that the campsite cost 17.00 normally but with that pass 1/2 off!! YAY! Thought we'd have to wait til December when Ken turns 62...so this is awesome!
Monday, we got up and had a good breakfast then decided to go to Twin Lakes, just up the road. Nice little drive and the boys settled on some rocks for fishing, of course after 30 minutes or so, the wind really came up and the clouds settled in over the mountains. We went back to camp, and the hail hit....so as Aaron says, "Family time in the trailer (or camper as this was) temps cooled, wind blew for quite a while. Eventually, it stopped and off for fishing, as at the lake we saw the fish hatchery truck go by, so we knew they had stocked the creek. Sure enough when we got back a girl, Allison from another camp told us they had stocked it. As luck would have it Jacob was the only one who caught fish, and he caught 4!! So back to camp and Ken cleaned them and we put them in the freezer for breakfast as it was already to late for dinner. An nice night was had again.
Got up this am and Ken wasn't feeling good. We left it up to the kids though as to whether to head back here today or tomorrow. Most decided head back today so we got out of there around 1200...It's only 80 miles from our house to the campground, which is awesome!!!! So had a nice afternoon here!
Tomorrow we will figure out what to do as we have 2 days left b4 we have to take the kids back to Sacramento and go to Paul and Gurmeena's baby shower on Sat. Adam goes to basketball camp on Monday till Saturday. We have to pick up our truck Monday or Tuesday and go to Winnemucca for Dr appt on Thursday....and we thought we're retired...:)))
