A Day at the Campground-Rancho Oso.

 

After hearing on TV last night that today's weather forecast was to be very similar to yesterdays, and that yesterdays weather was so superb, we decided to spend the day at this wonderful  campground.

.

After a slow start, so typical of us, we headed over to the adult lodge to use the phone and call Georgina.  We took our lap top with us so as to check our e mail at the same time. Genette works Mondays and and Tuesday, so when we can, we chat with her on line while she’s working. So we got to speak to both daughters, sort of. It was then back home,  pack some water,  camera and a map of the campground, and head for the horse corals, where there is the start of a trail leading to a waterfall. It started off gently enough, but soon became a little more arduous, though by no means difficult, as it went on.

Its about one half mile each way, and was worth the effort when we got to the 30ft cliff  with water cascading down towards us.

We returned to our RV,  collected the pickle ball paddles and balls, and headed down to the pickle ball court, via the campground store. We have been trying to buy new ball since before we left BC, but to no avail. However we struck lucky at   Rancho Oso’s store, they had two, so we grabbed them. Then it was to the courts. Jane and I played until dark last night, and were in the middle of a best of three contest when we had to stop, so we began where we left off.  I managed to win that one, just.

We played a couple more close games, during which we were approached by a guy who loves the game, but cant get anyone to join him. We offered to let him join us and play a “round robin” game. Jane Mark and I played like this a number of times while Chris was away, but he declined our offer. However he said if he could find a partner, he would come and find us. So we may get a game before we leave Thursday.
