Things are coming to a season close here at Leisure Lake Campgrounds. Some of the full-timers who stay here for the summer and early fall months have now left to go south. The other full-timers are getting their sites prepared for the winter before leaving. Each week, there are less and less campers here.
The water should be shut off at the end of October or early in November. I would assume that will be the time that we only camp occasionally in the winter. Last year we had high hopes of being here a lot in the winter but didn't make it. We had a mild winter here in Oho last year but we still didn't come out much. I think part of the reason was that at the time we were still "newbies" learning our way around winter camping, Leisure Lake, and making friends.
We have had a great summer here and have met so many people. There is always someone here to talk to no matter where you go in the park. Campers are such friendly people and when we are at the campground, it seems that people are here to relax. There is no one upsman stuff going on here. I truly appreciate that because after a long week of working (sometimes stressful and sometimes not) I just want to kick back and let my blood pressure return to normal.
Ken and I joke about how when we get here, we feel like our bodies just say, "Ahhhhhh" like a sigh of relief. Do you feel that when you are at a campground?
We sure felt that 'ahhh' feeling with this one. Got to take a nice shower and relax. A bit too cool to do anything, so have the fireplace going and researching where to go after Sioux Falls.
ReplyDeleteWhen we have taken trips this year I feel the stress melt away with every mile!
