Monday, May 23, 2016 - Happy Birthday to our son, Mike!

We had a quiet and more relaxed day yesterday, so I didn't post anything.  We did ride our bikes in the campground and Jim had his GPS on to see how many roads with camping sites are in the park. We did six miles, so it's a pretty large park.  We do like it here, but the ticks are terrible.  I think that is the way of life in any wooded area any more.  It really puts a damper on our fun! Our neighbors had a campfire last night, so we took our chairs and a bottle of wine over and joined them!  We were telling them how good the dry Riesling is from Wollersheim's, so we had to prove it.  That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!  We decided to go biking with them today and show them how to geo-cache.  We looked for two, and found two!  The ticks were terrible, so it just wasn't fun to be caching, so we came back and chatted into the dinner hour!  It was a fun day.  We are meeting such nice people on this little side trip, and we feel confident that we'll be seeing them again, also.  We will be returning to St. Louis tomorrow.  We have Shea's graduation Thursday evening, and then we move closer to WI on Friday.  We've been blessed with beautiful weather, but the rain is to move in tonight.  All in all, it was a good plan to come this way for a few days.

 Enjoying the campfire with Dave and Lois, our new camping friends.  They are from Columbia, MO.

 We found the cache, out of the woods and tall grass, and checking for ticks!  We all had some!

Dave, Lois and Jim.....deciding to head home.
