Summer Returns

Blue skies and up into the 80’s today.

One of the things I have been meaning to do on the trailer for months was finally done this morning. Underneath the trailer is a red water pipe and a blue water pipe (hot & cold). These pipes were each capped with a screw on cap, which had to be removed to drain the hot and cold water lines. Being under the trailer they were not the easiest to get at, and the caps had to be on VERY tight to prevent leaking. Yesterday I finally found two taps that could replace the caps and make life a little simpler. They were fitted today.

After lunch we went to Weeks Bay where there was a board walk out to the waters edge. Although wildlife was again noticeable by its absence there were some pelicans on the water. It must have been bird lunchtime as the pelicans would take off, climb to about 50ft, circle around for a bit and then dive into the water for fish. At least it gave us something to watch for a while.

The campground has been a hive of activity for the last few days. Many of the people who were down for the winter have left, a lot of them leaving their trailers here to be stored over the summer, at the same time a number of the summer residents are getting their trailers out of storage. To add to the confusion, this week is spring break for the Alabama schools, so there a number of short term visitors. At times it’s like Piccadilly Circus with all the trailers moving around.
