The Walk That Never Was

No change in the weather, up to around 27C today.

I continued to sort out all the stuff that I have brought down in the hope of freeing up some space. Lyn had a problem with her sewing machine, seems the tension wasn’t tensioning. A quick search of the internet produced a possible solution, which worked. Yet again I was a hero (for about 30 nano-seconds).

After lunch we said good-bye to our neighbours who were heading back to Ohio, then we set out to find Graham Creek Wild life park which had some nature walks. We found the park, and headed off towards the trails. 20 yards into the trail it petered out into a small, overgrown track through the trees. We turned back and went to look at one of the maps back in the parking area. It looked as though we were in the right area, but a second attempt got us no further. We decided we’d just take a walk around the edge of the woods. About half a mile on we saw a trail marker pointing towards the trail we wanted. We took the trail and almost immediately we were confronted with a small stream, someone had put a series of rocks in the water to walk across but on the far side was deep mud for about 30 yards so we gave up!

We continued around the edge of the woods, then headed back towards the parking lot. About a hundred yards from the parking lot we found the start of trail marker! It would have been a good idea if it was placed just a little closer to the parking lot. Any way we got a good walk in, albeit in the open rather than through the woods.

We took a drive around the local area which surrounds a bay, there were a number of nice looking sub-divisions, must have been the posh part of town.

Back at the resort (can’t call it a campground as that associates our activities with camping which gets my sister all riled up!) the mail had come which included the conversion kit for the trailer lights. Fifteen minutes later we had a pair of LED side/stop/turn lights at the back of the trailer.
