Bennett Springs - Day 2

Published by pattye under Camping Edit This

Yesterday, Hubby went trout fishing.  The whistle blows at 7 a.m.  I took a shower and then the dogs and I went for a walk.  I was surprised when Hubby returned around 9 a.m.  I expected him to be gone until at least noon.  He caught one fish.

It was so windy.  We decided to put the awning in because of the high wind.  As Hubby was putting it in, it got away from him, but didn’t break.  He had trouble getting it put back in and had to get on the motor home roof to get it locked in place.  While he was on the roof, he saw someone else’s awning break.  We ended up seeing 4 awnings fly back due to the wind.  The people were all at their campsites, but I guess they didn’t think it would happen to them.

Camping is all about people watching.  I didn’t know that but Hubby’s family has taught me that.  After watching the awnings break, I watched my neighbor try to get into his waders.  He was a big man and the waders look to be at least a size or two too small for him.  It was a struggle for him to get in them.  He was only gone for about an hour when he came back and took them off.  I thought he might have trouble taking them off, but they came off much easier than they went on.

Hubby went fishing after lunch.  I stayed in the motor home and played on the computer.  I ended up falling asleep while doing so.  LOL  I rarely sleep while when we camp.  I really prefer my bed at home.

I ended up going trout fishing late yesterday.  No luck for me or Hubby.  It was so windy that it was hard to fish.  I don’t think I like trout fishing.  I don’t like fishing next to people and you have to do that here.

Here are a few more photos from Bennett Springs.  These were taken from the car as we drove past the people fishing.
