It wasn’t the wind keeping mosquitos away, because it’s mostly gone and they still haven’t showed in force… just a few buzzing around. A few flies from time to time. And as dusk deepens here at the campsite: fireflies. The brush next to my site is positively twinkling with them. (How could primitive humans not believe in fairies?)
The weather did hit 90F at least; it’s currently 80F. Just enough clouds by evening to make the sunset interesting. Should be dry overnight, low just under 70F. Nonetheless I’ll be exercising full rainproofing protocol with the gear; there’s nothing to be gained by taking a chance. The rain south of here seems to petering out as it drifts northward over Kentucky. But a new line of serious storms appears to be developing in Iowa, and may pass thru the area before I get home.
I saw a deer off to the side of the road approaching the campground after supper; didn’t get a picture. I went for a walk to the lake and happened upon a groundhog; got a few blurry pictures on the big camera. Just saw a bat fly overhead; way too dark for pix.
I’m in the no-electricity section of the campground, which is probably only about 10% full. I really would’ve been better off if I hadn’t made a reservation and picked a site after seeing them. Oh well. Didn’t cost me any extra (unlike Michigan, which charges $8 for each reservation). Anyway it’s quiet. It’s nice.
