Friday, July 12, 2024 - Long Beach Conservation Area, 0 Miles, 186.9 Miles For The Trip
While it wasn't all that much cooler overnight, it didn't rain. By morning it was 69°F outside & 73°F in the trailer.
During my morning walk I registered for the rally - $20.00 Canadian. After breakfast I sat outside in a very light breeze, although more than the one that got in the Clam. The "no'see'um" mesh works great for keeping the bugs out, but blocks some of the air.
We hung around, showed both trailers, and watched some new arrivals into the swamp behind us. The park brought in 5-6 tractor bucket loads of gravel to fill in the worst of it, but one of the arrivals tried to park in the gravel & sunk in 6". They moved to higher ground.
After lunch more sitting around. I headed for a shower. They have 4 unisex showers with doors on the outside of the building, and there are three inside the men's side of the washroom. I chose the inside shower with a standard shower head (the only one of the 7). A single push button that runs for at least 2 minutes per push. I thought it was never going to shut off. Good temperature, but no shelf or hooks in the shower. One hook in the drying area and a small shelf. The same floor for both the shower & drying area, but with enough slope that only a little of the drying area floor gets wet. There is a shower curtain, but it is 6" off the floor and the shower aims at it. Overall, a C+.
I made a lap around the camping area with the camera & took a bunch of photos. A few here, but more at the Bolerama page I started today.
