Our First Day at Hershey Preserve!

Ken and I decided that today would be a relaxing one.  So, Ken was awake early and read in bed and then when I woke at 7:30 we stayed in bed and watched the Today Show.  We never got up until 8:30.  We sat outside for a short time enjoying the view, but it was hot already.

The view from the inside of Waldo.  It is hard to tell, but off
in the distance in a small lake/pond!

We think this was a seasonal site at one time!

No one in front of us or behind us!

We decided it was a good time to take a walk around the CG before it got even warmer - it was 71 when we got up and humid.  So we did about 6,000 steps.  We sat outside Waldo to cool down and enjoy some water and then Doloris stopped by.  Fred had gotten up at 5 and left for work.  She had come outside around 9 and when she went to go back inside, the door to the 5th wheel was locked and she had Nothing with her - phone, keys, drink, etc.  Fortunately she wasn't in her PJ's!  Ken and I had seen a Wildcat like theirs in the CG so we decided it might be a universal key and maybe Martins could be opened with the key of the fellow campers.  No luck!

Doloris had contacted Fred when we were walking and he was going to leave work and bring the key to her.  Ken and I said that was silly - we would be happy to take her back to Ephrata to get the keys Fred had taken with him and left at their house.  So at 10:30 Doloris and I drove in our car back to their house, got the keys, and returned to the CG by 11:30.

Ken and I spent most of the day scheduling Dr. appointments, oil change for CRV, blood work, appointment at Lazydays in November for some warranty work on Waldo, and an inspection for Waldo.  Also had a nice talk with Chuck and Melissa talking about our adventures together starting in August!

Around 4, Doloris stopped by and the 3 of us took another walk around the CG. It had rained before lunch today, but it certainly didn't make it any more comfortable outside.  

Fred returned at 5:45 and because of the heat and the later time decided not to build a fire for cooking dinner.  We told them to come and grill with us - it would be cooler and take a lot less time.  So, they came to Waldo and we cooked and ate together.  After clean-up, we played Skip-Bo outside, which the women won.  We played 1/2 game of Haus but it got to dark to see what we were doing. It was a great night to be outside - very few bugs and the temperature and humidity were comfortable.  We finished and game inside and played another won, with the women being victorious all evening.

Fred has to leave for work at 5 again tomorrow morning, so we called it a night around 10.  A very nice day at Hershey Preserve!
