We awoke to coffee, and were just about ready to begin the rigors of packing when Carma called for their morning pick-up. Though the bass tournament had begun at 7 AM this morning, the parking lot was relatively empty. Wonder if it was all the warning tickets the rangers wrote yesterday? After returning Carma and Gerald to their campsite with 8 fish, we began cleaning and packing and pulled out of the campground at 8:53 AM, stopped for gas in Mountain View (9.1 mpg, all in the mountains), and made it home at about 11 AM. We quickly unpacked and had a brunch of biscuits and ham–Kay also had an egg. We noticed the bird feeders had been swiped down again, and another neighbor said she had had one badly broken. THE BEAR IS BACK!

It’s good to be home again, and wonderful to have internet access after 6 days without it. Where will our next adventure take us?
