After the excitement and exhaustion of yesterdays mountaineering, we felt it prudent to spend a quiet day at the site. I put up a shortwave antenna so that I could play around with the Ham Radio setup. I was pleasantly surprised to hear stations from Europe coming through. In the meantime Lyn was amusing herself at the launderette!
We had a quick trip out to the store in the afternoon. On the last trip in January we were so well organised, I don’t think we left anything off our packing list. This trip a number of articles have been left behind. I suspect sub-consciously we were thinking “it’s only a 4 week trip………” We are now trying to put together a list of what stays with the trailer and what has to come from home.
During the shopping trip we saw more of the damage caused by the tornado in June, it was far more widespread than we first thought. Although there was a lot of property damage, there was no loss of life.
After the hectic pace of the week-end the campground has returned to its peaceful self as everyone heads back to work!!
Have to go check and see if we packed the bucket and spade, we’re off to the coast tomorrow.
