Quiet time

For the days we have been here we have been the only campers in our loop of this campground.

The only other folks have been our almost daily visiting gobblers, it's been fun to see them passing through.

About 15 minutes after I took the above picture there was a large motorhome pulled into one of the nearby spaces with a yapping puppy.  The quiet has been nice while it lasted.  Most of these sites have been reserved (according to the markings on the site-posts) for tomorrow night as this weekend the campground will be mostly full.

This tree in out backyard is the largest Silver Maple that I have seen.  I remember we had one in our front yard when I was growing up in Springfield, MO on Battlefield Rd but it was only a large shrub.  The problem with silver maple trees is that they are aggressive/invasive and multiply with sprouts all around them.  This one has such saplings all around it that have been mostly controlled by mowing.

 

Tomorrow after lunch we hitch back up  and move to another lake in southern Iowa.
