Still in the "Shelterin'..." Mode


Yep.  Still here at Stone Mountain State Park.  Still "Sheltering-in-place".  We're getting a lot of walks in the park.  Having to stay off the busy trails (those that circle the mountain) just to help keep our distance from others.  You can tell people are trying to just get out of the house as even the Songbird Habitat & Trail was busy today.  I guess that being sunny and low 70s, today, made it hard to resist.

We'd hope to be able to move north late next week, but that may be hard to do.  Basically we can travel to Tennessee, but no further north.  We have appointments to service the trailer's hydraulics, suspension, and some repair work on the trailer toward the end of April in Elkhart, IN that'd we'd like to keep, but probably won't be able to.  Be easier to plan if they'd just say that they're shutting everyone down for six weeks than this guessing game we're currently under.

Some of you may be wondering what's happening with our plans to work at Voyageurs Natl Park this summer.  At the moment our report date has slipped from May 10th to June 7th.  General thinking is that we'd be posted at tables outside the Rainy Lake Visitor Center to assist visitors.  No idea on impacts to boat tours or ranger programs.  My guess is that the number of people allowed into the visitor center will be limited much like stores are currently limiting the number of customers in the store at any one time.  No clue how we'll handle the park movies or the gift shop.

So here we sit - much like you, I suppose.  We're fine.  There's three rigs on our row in the campground  (there's a total of 11 sites on our row).  One rig is from Colorado.  One rig is from Ohio. And there's us.  We're all spaced out, too.   I think we all pick a pretty nice spot to wait things out.

Thanks, for dropping by and checking up on us.  Until next week, David
