Local RV Trips – It WAS a Bear

We awoke to an overcast morning with nothing on the schedule. Kay and I took a walk around the campground after we enjoyed out coffee/cappuccino. By 8:30 AM the real fishers were back with their ‘catch’. I believe the total was 51 fish—nice blues and channel catfish. Karen’s special was served for lunch—homemade chicken and dumplin’s. We supplemented with English peas, salad, green beans and potatoes, and Geraldine produced a great peach cobbler. Donald’s allergies have really been acting up today—runny nose and a lot of sneezing. We also got a call from one of our neighbors that a bear has been in our subdivision at home—pulling down feeders, guzzling sunflower seeds, and making a nuisance of himself. Remember the April 28 journal entry? We suspected then that perhaps a bear had been in the neighborhood and tore down the feeders, and now we’re pretty sure. By the time the neighbors called the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, folks in Salesville were calling because the bear apparently had moved up the hill. We committed to hosting lunch on Thursday with red beans and rice and smoked sausage so we’re staying til then but I suspect we’ll be heading home as soon as we can pack up after lunch. The weather has been overcast and drizzling most of yesterday and today with small, short patches of sunshine. Rain, sometimes heavy, danced on the roof most of the night.
