We found Dave on site 13 tending a sputtering campfire. We split and added wood, fanned the flames, and after several hours we had a roaring fire. The fire was very useful because the weather was surprisingly cool. The temperature dipped into the 40s at night.
On Saturday, Harry, Ken, Denise, Lana, Larry and Larry’s two kids joined us. We moved to sites 1, 11, 12 and 23 because they were drier and more spacious. The park’s caretaker, Bill, was very accomodating and helpful.
Dave, Dolgio, TS and I took a five-mile hike on Saturday afternoon. We entered the trail system from East Trout Brook Road and hiked on trails 11, 2, 3, back to 2 and 11. It rained lightly at times, and the grass was very wet. My pants and feet were soaked by the end of the hike.
After dinner, most of us gathered around the campfire on site 11. Lana and Larry had their own campfire, which a few of us visited. No one site was big enough for the entire group.
On Sunday, I slept late, packed up and left.
