COLD

It is winter and it is cold. This area is later covered in snow.

State Park

This is where you unload your horses to ride in the State Park. No one is ridding today.

Hay

As you can see (if you look close) that the bales of hay in this field are covered with snow.

Our Drive

This picture was taken from our slide. The spot you are looking at with no snow or ice is where we park the truck. It has been cold not getting out of the teens for 24 hours. We have had a few days it did not get out of the 20's. Today we have a heat wave it has reached 32. We received 2-5 inches of snow, then some sleet. Our water froze at one time, but after putting a heater in the bay with the pump all is well. We are in good shape, in the trailer it is 70.

Fall in Kentucky

There are two pictures in this group. I talked to the owner of the Horse Stables, where he raises horses & sell them, he also has an RV Park , (Green River Stables RV Park). He told me that this morning was typical of a Kentucky Fall morning. It is in the 40's today with an overcast sky. We do not expect to see any sun. He said he has seen 90 days in a row just like this one. The humidity is very high. A man could walk through the woods on the leaves & not make a sound, so could the deer & other forest animals.
We saw a buck Monday as we were nearing our campground, it was a four pointer and larger then the Texas White Tail, it was not a Mule Deer. We have mostly seen squirrels, that was our first deer. Tank loves to walk in the woods with the leaves on the ground he smells of everything.
While this is a nice day I would not like to have a month of not seeing the sun.

This Came Out of Our Drain

Wilma got this our of our drain, (it was running slow). You might want to check yours.

Boats on Green River Lake

We were not able to get all the boats in one picture.

Where is Don

Click on the picture. I know where Don's Golf Cart is, but where is Don the Boys could use him.

Tree & House

The countryside here is very pretty. We pass by this every day on our way to work. Sorry for the wires, (but that is life).

Amazon

This is one BIG building. There are two floors & everything is done with computers.

Wilma's Pot's Box

One of our fellow CH in Ruedi had a pot like this only it made 12 cups. It will grind the beans then make the coffee. We have been looking for one for some time; then we went into Big Lots & found this for only $45.00, this one makes 10 cups. She has not tried it out yet.

Wilma's new Pot

Flags

If you look close you will see the Texas flag on our trailer. We are parked close to each other in this park, but everyone is very friendly; most of the people work for Amazon. We leave here at 6:00 Eastern Time & have to be at work no later than 6:30. My Daddy always told me to leave with plenty of time to change a flat, or to get a jump if my car would not start. We are about 10 minutes from work. We go to bed by 8:00 o,clock.

Woods

There are a lot of deep woods here, man could get lost.

Trail

The trails here are for horses, this is in a state park. Sure would be good for a 4-wheeler.

Wilma & Tank

Do you see the rope note how high off the ground it is.

Ropes to Tye Your Horse

Look at the ropes used to tye up your horse. This is at the end of just one of the trails which or for horses or hikers. No 4-Wheeler.

Green River Lake

At the end of the trail, Turkey Bluff, this is what we found.

Campground

This is our CG as you can see it is not fancy, but it is nice enough. We have full-hook-ups, also wi-fi, and a laundry. Every one we have met here work at Amazon or here at the stables. Very nice people when we came in the owner was here to met us & told me Tank could go anywhere (even his office). They do have some very pretty horses.

Road

This is the road that goes by our campground. We have seen some very wonderful color, after today there may not be as much color. We have had strong winds with a lot of rain all day. Tank & I went out to take these pictures & walk a little & got wet. That dog does not like water; not rain, not bathes, he does even like to swim. He does drank some. Those spots you see in the road came form horses, (we are at Green River Stables).

House & Road

This is next to our campground, we are also close to a lake (Green River Lake) but have not seen any water as yet. There are quite a few old homes that we have seen in KY which remind me of some of the farm houses in East Texas.

Leaves

Fall comes in many colors, the color white will be quick to follow, when it gets here we will be gone as we are leaving next week.

Red Berries

Berries come in many colors. I wish I new more about them, (some are good to eat) I will not eat anything I am not sure of.

Berries

We have had a lot of berries this & yes one campground that we are taking care of had a bear. The man came out of his tent & ran him off.

Around The Bend

Do you ever wonder just what is around the bend in the road? You know in this case it has something to do with Fall Colors.
Think about it; what is around the bend in the road? Do not let your dreams die just because the stock market is still down, because you are not as young as you were, hey you will not be younger tomorrow. Remember when your dreams die you are DEAD, you may still be walking around but you are dead.
If life was a book and you did not travel you would only read one page.

Getting Ready To Move

I will hook the cable to the dock to lift & move it. The weight of just what I will lift will be around 3,000 lbs.

All The Ford Wants

The dock is all this Ford can take. This Ford has been hard to start for a year, Saturday the starter made it last start. They came and carried it off today (they are going to fix it). All we use it for is moving the dock, but that must be done.

Moved

As you can see we have moved the Dock. The Dock has wheels on the rear & we move it up as Ruedi fills & then we move it down as they drain it. It is moved about once a day.

New Home

We will be making our shortest move 1/2 mile. Why you ask. We will have FHU & this is where we have to carry our Golf Cart to plug it in. I will do a little trimming of the trees before we move in. After today we will take care of three CG. The campers are getting much fewer & the rest of the camp-host have left, (we were ask to stay till the 20th.)

How Low Can It Go?

They let The Ruedi Reservoir get very low in the fall. They have two reasons; one is for the snow melt in the spring, and the second is to keep The Frying Pan River in top shape. The river is a big part of this area,s economy. The fishing here is some of the best in the state.
Wilma & I will only be here around three more weeks. Then on the road again; to Texas then to Kentucky.

These were some of the biggest shrimp I have ever seen. One of the cooks, Rick he has the white hair & his wife the other cook Vicki who has on the blue sweater, had a friend get them from the gulf.
