Park Ranger

Tuscaloosa, Alabama

Weather: low 73 degrees, high 89 degrees, rain showers late in the afternoon and into the night

Light rain showers came into the area this afternoon, and the rain is still falling as I write this post. This is the kind of rain that is so good to the earth. Soft rain, no running water because it is all soaking in, and no wind. This is the kind of rain that farmers pray for.

We finished our laundry this morning and changed the bed linens. The bed is so big it takes both of us to change the sheets. The RV came with a king size mattress, and we wish now that it was a queen size. I like the queen size better.

When I took the laundry over to wash it, I met the Park Ranger. She has several other facilities in addition to the campground here that she is responsible for, but this one is her favorite. She listed all the reasons she likes this campground, and those reasons were similar to our reasons for liking it. The COE has started some renovations in the park, and she was here today checking the progress of the work, as well as following up on the contract workers who do the bathroom cleaning. I noticed she had the workers re-doing some of the cleaning they had done earlier today. I like that. The company that does the cleaning seems to have problems keeping a stable work force. As a result, they're always training someone how to do the work.

The number of campers in the park seems to be dwindling more every day. There are only about six sites occupied now. I have a feeling this weekend will also be slow and quite. The busiest times here appear to be around holidays and during football season, especially when the University of Alabama has a home game. We'll be gone before all that occurs.

The neighbor next door was gone for most of the day, which was a break for him with his air conditioner not working. I'm sure he's thankful for the rain because it has helped keep the temperature down.

More later, be safe.
