We've been at Wilderness State Park in Michigan all week. Heading back to the cabin in St. Helen tomorrow to avoid all the traffic.

I can't remember exactly where we went to except that it was called Red Arrow Resort and we were down a gravel road to the "resort" and it was probably 10 miles or so to the big town of "Rocky Mount". Back then, the population signs (two of them about 600' apart) read.....Rocky Mount.....population 6".

Rocky Mount has all grown up with some really nice homes in the 7-8 hundred thousand stratosphere. We're at Sunrise Beach on the Little Niangua. I decided a long time ago to never grow up. Happy Holiday to you and yours.

We were in town last night and the WalMart campground was packed. Only 1 18 wheeler but there were at least 40 RV's of all kinds. At this rate, they'll have to build a new parking lot for customers who just want to shop...

We are sticking in our vacation house here in the NM mountains. The little town 4 miles down the road from us goes from a population of about 750 to 10-15,000 over a holiday so we just stay away. Plus, deer season just opened so that always draws lots of folks in - just too much craziness to get out. Waiting for the end of Oct. to head to FL.

Holy Cow.....I'm sure I wouldn't recognize it. I looked on a google map since I posted last and there is a road, not far from Rocky Mount named "Red Arrow Road"....so I'm assuming that is is the road that the resort was named after and was probably on that road. I don't see a listing for the resort anymore, but the folks that owned it back then were probably in their 50's or 60's. It's funny I still remember their last name.... Golden. It sure is beautiful in that part of mid MO and I have a lot of fond memories from those times. Thanks for mentioning it, I've had a trip down memory lane this morning!
Have a great holiday weekend yourself and stay safe!

John...thanks for the post about your 'madders. I need to find a few for fall planting. My eggplant are probably 5ft wide with branches on the ground. Refig is full and more to be picked.
I think all the rain killed my 2 young plum trees. Drowned roots I guess.
We are laying low until my back gets better. Probably 3-5 weeks. Maybe do a Texas Hill Country state park or south Louisiana. Kicking around the idea of the Texas NASCAR race in November.

Gearhead,
I covered the tomatoes last night, "cold rain" this morning didn't do them any favors. I do hope I get a few more weeks before a heavy frost, but it's that time of year. I got two tree stands in the woods today, two more later this week and I'll have that behind me. There's a big black bear that's been hanging around one of my spots. And this year I didn't apply for a bear tag, just my luck. We'll see if I can keep him in that area until next season, but my luck, he'll either get shot, run over or hungry and move on.... Oh well, I don't need another bearskin rug anyway....
We were going to head south in November for a couple of months, but with the hurricane situation, not sure if there'll be a campground and as active as the season has been, it may be "touch and go" to make any plans for the southeast. My DW "told me today" that she's planning on staying right here until after February, so I suppose I'll start getting the travel trailer cleaned up and checked out, ready to winterize and maybe make a "ice covered escape" early next year.
I hope your back keeps getting better... Stay on top of what they tell you NOT to do. Screw it up and it'll take forever to reheal, if it does at all.... Patience is a virtue, especially post-op.....

I'm kicking around getting back into duck hunting. I scouted the COE campground at Dam B, Lake Steinhagen. Either there or the Trinity Bay marsh. May be just wishful thinking though. You know how Texas is..very little public land for big game.
10-4 on the healing.

We pulled out of the Bar Harbor area CG --- there were just too many people. We have reservations to go back the end of the week just so we can drive and hike Acadia NP as well as visit the actual city of Bar Harbor. We did enjoy Mt Desert area - seems that you almost need a guide to find the area since the road to there doesn't tell you where it goes. We moved about 50 miles up the road and are in a very small CG. Totally quiet with the Atlantic a hundred yards or less behind us. We will be watching Hurricane Irma's track as this is just too close to the potential of very heavy winds.
