We have a little over 100-miles to travel today and we need to make a stop at Walmart to grab some groceries in preparation of our Thanksgiving dinner menu.
First they walked down the middle of the road about 20-yards in front of us,
before finally taking flight and then remained low following the centerline of the road.
We thought it was VERY ODD behavior, like they were escorting us out of the park.
Like I mentioned earlier we need to stop at Walmart for some Thanksgiving items. It's the first time I've had trouble finding a place to park with ROVER and THE POD in a Walmart parking lot.
We made a second Walmart stop further down the road to pickup a few forgotten items and this parking lot was even fuller. The parking lot was to the point where I was afraid to leave the truck unattended for fear someone would park in front of and behind us, which could effectively trap us in place until one of them returned to their vehicle.
When we applied for our FREE online camping permit here at Istokpoga Canal Campground they shared the gate code with us so we could let ourselves in. Upon arriving at the gate armed with our 4-digit code we noticed there were five padlocks in place, three of them were combination locks and the other two were keyed.
By using a fairly clever locking mechanism, you only need to unlock one of the locks to gain access to the campground. Of course it was the third lock we tried before we got the correct one.
Once inside you can park just anywhere you choose. There are roughly two dozen sites, some with picnic tables, some with fire pits, some with both and some with neither. Since we're not having a fire tonight we chose one with only a table, but ours also comes with a VERY LARGE bat house.
You know what bats like to eat, don't ya? MOSQUITOES! Let's hope there's a large population of bats that come out tonight and each one of them is extremely hungry!
