Exploration and Upsetting the Locals

Having finally got everything setup and working, it was a day for rest, relaxation and exploring.

The campsite is located on the site of an old farm which has long since ceased operation and has become naturally wooded. As a result most individual sites are nestled in the trees. The site map shows some walking trails so it was time to exercise. As we left the trailer we noticed a hole in the ground near the picnic bench, not wanting to catch a foot in it, I filled it up with small stones.

We headed off to the trails, through the now busy campsite. Friday night saw the arrival of many weekend campers, most of who have trailers set up permanently. The trails wandered off through the woods, but were not very well defined, not surprising really as the majority of campers here rely on golf carts to get them from A to B, when the distance A to B is greater than 20yards!

After about half hour walking we got back to the site, only yo discover that the whole I had filled in had been partially excavated. Not wanting to have some evil creature living on the site, the hole was again filled in.

Later in the day Lyn was sitting at the table and saw a very unhappy chipmunk hurling stones out of the hole. This time I left the hole open!!
