the sheep dog trials have started.. the campground, after being laid out under some high tension wires, was moved, as the set up crew was getting shocked by the wet grass against our ankles....
I have to admit to buying a $15.00 sleeping bag at walmart. Keeping the generator running all night was using about 2 gallons of gas per night.... or around 5 bucks... I'll be here another 9 days... that's about 45 dollars in gas... against a cheap sleeping bag and waking up in a cold trailer...
I'm annoyed at myself about having to buy things I have at home, but did not bring.. even simple things like aspirin and blue tarps..... and the sleeping bag... and a few other things that one needs on a 2-1/2 week campout that I would not need over a weekend at a campground with water and electricity.
But, I also have to admit this is a great place to camp, and am having one heck of a relaxing time.... and since I'm working the trial, a lot of the food stuffs are included.... so, all in all, a great time...
Also, the honda eu2000i is the most popular generator here... they are all over the place..... I've counted at least a dozen in just the area I'm staying in and at the trial site.
