Hot Hot Hot days of summer...

Well, it has been a long time since I posted. I hurt my knee in a fall while solo camping the first weekend of June, so I have not been very mobile. And I had not kayaked at all since then.

I had made reservations earlier in the summer to camp at Lake Greeson in August, so Mom, Dad and I went up to the lake last weekend. When we got there the temp was 102! It was sooooo hot it took several hours to cool the trailer down to where it was comfortable. Of course we had to set up in the heat of the day...someday I'll learn to do things differently... I went kayaking for the first time in two months that first night. There was an ok sunset, but nothing to really get excited about. I took a few pictures which I'll post later (since I am writing this after work and don't have access to my pictures here).

Saturday it was another hot day. It got up to 105 in the SHADE! needless to say, it was just too hot to do anything except lay in the bunk and read. But I still enjoyed just getting away from Shreveport. If the temperature gets better in a few weeks I intend to solo camp with the dogs at Lake Ouachita. If it isn't below 98 degrees though I think that I'll cancel that trip.

We packed up early Sunday morning and headed back to Shreveport. So...not a very memorable trip except for the heat!

I am looking forward to seeing my brother Jim as he is coming in Wednesday for a few days. I hope he can bring some milder temps with him as he flies up from Miami...

I'll post some pictures from some of my camping trips in the webshots albums soon.
Love to all...Cathy

Yeah! It's so nice to have you back in the blogosphere!!! And, glad that your knee is doing better...I do wonder though about all that "solo" stuff, if perhaps it's not the best of ideas. Well, guess I will see you tomorrow, my flight lands at about noon. CYaThen.
