After having our fiberglass trailer for over a year, we finally got to make an egg rally. We headed off to the Townsend Eggscursion. As soon as we pulled in we saw eggs (fiberglass trailers). The Eggscursion was being held at the KOA. A really nice campground with lots of extras. They had a guy show us to our campsite and even backed us in. I came into the camper and Lora said that we had a water leak. It was a brown water leak which putting two and two together I came up with Sweet Tea. Our pitcher had fell over in the refrigerator and leaked out through the lower cabinet and across the floor. We spent the first part of our day cleaning floors.
Dad and Mom showed up and we started our walk around the campground. Talk about friendly people. We visited and everyone showed off their egg. Lots of stories to tell and what they liked and didn't like about their trailer. With just one short break we pretty much spent the day doing the walk.
At six o'clock we headed to the pavilion next to our trailer for the pot luck dinner. What a spread they put out. Thirty two in all. As I was eating, I looked over at our trailer and there was brown streaks running down the side from the refrigerator panel. So after dinner, I was back to cleaning as Lora did a second cleaning of the floor.
We got a campfire going and invited the neighbors over. They were worried about rain coming in tonight so they started packing up after dinner. They had a 13' Scamp. They loaded their car and loaded their car all evening long. They were still loading as we went to bed. Where did they keep all that stuff and how much does one need to camp?
Sunday morning we hooked up the camper, said goodbye to the other egg people and drove to the trailhead for Schoolhouse Gap. They made the parking spaces long enough to park a rig here.
It was a little rainy but that didn't stop us from going to the sinks to see the wildflower show. We saw a young photographer that was so engrossed in getting a trillium to smile for him, he didn't even see us till we spoke to him. It's cool to see young people so excited about the wildflowers.
Little Brown Jugs, Toothwort, Golden Alexander, Anemone, Dwarf Ginseng, Foam flower, abundant on the first part of the trail. In the sinks we found Pennyroyal, one Showy Orchis, Columbine was blooming on the rock wall, Shooting Stars and signs on the trail side telling us to STAY ON THE TRAIL, ZOOM IN. The areas close to the cave and water fall are fenced off, a lot more so than the last time we were here.
