Put Out the Fire
Missed the Festival
One night my campground neighbors had a fierce fire going, it was nice to watch the flames dancing around the fire pit from one of the slideout windows. Unfortunately, they left embers burning in the pit and went to bed. There was a breeze, the embers danced right out of the pit. I watched for hours then even though there are dangers of bears, filled up my bucket with water, found my flashlight and went to put their smoldering fire out. Wouldn't you know, about an hour later, the rain started.
Another day, I found a WalMart and laundromat located in Oneida. As I headed there, I didn't recognize the road as the one I took to get to Bandy Creek. It was full of hairpin turns and then down slopes. After finishing up at the laundromat, I readied myself for that (in my mind) treacherous drive back. An SUV pulling a trailer of about 30 feet long was in front of me. As they traveled around the hairpin turns, once the back of their trailer scraped on the roadway. My thoughts went to my upcoming travels to my FIRST EVER RV Rally. There was no way I'd drive that road again especially with my "Safire" in tow.
I was in pain the day of the festival and stayed inside my "condo on wheels". The weather was perfect, my a/c was on. With the festival going on there were many others here, most have dogs and kids. One neighbors kids were so loud that there were times I jumped off my loveseat. By the time "quiet time" came around, you could hear a pin drop.
It rained all day Sunday and into the night. I wonder if I put "cushions" on the top of my "condo" would it lessen the sound of the rain hitting it? It was good to stay in while crocheting and watching movies via the ROKU box.
On the sunny days, I walked around my "condo" and took pictures of the site.

You can see that the roads are paved and are wide enough for two vehicles to pass by each
other.
Last night on the news there were reports of high wind for Scott County until 8pm. The winds started at 9pm but other than hearing it you'd never know that the wind was blowing at a quick rate.
Tomorrow, I leave Bandy Creek Campground. Found the route that I took into Bandy Creek from Jamestown even though it will take me 30 minutes out of my way, I'm better safe than sorry.
Bye Bandy Creek, I will visit you again!
