Same old start of a travel day - cool, overcast and windy. We however did arrive to a beautiful sunny afternoon at the Southpark RV Park. Why is it that the farther north we go the warmer the weather gets? 

Despite the high recommendation by Spence of the pie stop many of us were disappointed after drooling all morning with thought of a piece of pie for lunch. They were closed.  Some of the folks chose to have picnic lunch at tables outside the store.  Spence was severely chastised at tonights social. After being given 2 strikes for the road log boo boo’s Ken and Carole gave us all mosquito zappers and they were forgiven.



There were many animal sightings today, especially bears and mosquitoes .  There were also a few cows, horses and road construction workers. We personally chased a black bear  down the highway  until he realized he couldn’t out run us and went off into the woods.`

Parking our campers  at Southpark became quite a spectator sport. Some of the sites were a bit of a chore, especially backing in the fifth wheels.  Those of us lucky enough to have pull thru sites got to watch the show.
