Hobbes tries to catch a gopher.

Map - Willow Bunch to Ogema

Ogema Regional Park, Ogema (2 stars)

We left nice and early (for us) and headed for Ogema. A short 45 minute drive and we were in their campground (apparently all by ourselves). Lee did some software work and Lez did laundry at the park's free laundry machines.

Hobbes spent a lot of time outside after we arrived. There are a number of gophers near the Schooner, with about 5-6 holes. Hobbes went from one to the other, laying patiently for one to pop up. Never the right hole, of course.

Lez muses: We have enjoyed the Willow Bunch area taking over 100 photos yesterday, which we will cull down.

LOL,we are so 'suffering', so many friends who do not RV or camp wonder how we make it through. Breaky today is omelettes with leftover from dinner (ham, veggies, fresh veggies) and a sauce over top consisting of mayo, sambal oelek (red pepper spice) and Dijon mustard. ALso some strawberry, blue berry, and bananas. Coffee and plans for the day and we are off to Ogema.

Hobbes goes out for a wee walk with dad. So we decide to stay close to the RV today - it was going to be very hot and leaving Hobbes in the RV is not a good option. And he still is not happy to travel in the truck. So we took advantage of the free laundry facility - LOL one washer and one dryer - free! So the afternoon was whiled away on the picnic bench outside the laundry closet and lots of embroidery was done on the deadline table cover. Deadline you ask Back in April (22nd) I mentioned a table cover embroidery project - easy to work on just about anywhere. Worked on it over the years. Well, it was shelved long ago and as we cleaned out the house I found it and decided to finish it and have brought it along. I also said something stupid like "I should finish this for our 50th next year". And one cannot catch that mouth fast enough. SO a June 17, 2022 deadline LOLOLOL.

I had to put on a long summer dress - with lots of flowing and flapping in the wind to keep the biting blood sucking flies and mosquitoes off! I'm sure the definition of "Ogema" is "various tiny flying prairie vampires"! The entomologist term may differ. In spite of the hardships of the day (LOL) the laundry is done for another 3 weeks and items all re-packed where they belong.

Needless to say Hobbes and I will sleep well tonight! It is cooling off too!
