Sitting in Devil's Lake State Park..........

Lincoln City, Oregon right now. Gotta mark down Space A20 to my list as there's an opening in the trees and the Dome locked onto the satellite with no problem.......so I have my MTV and the little air card is working fine and "B" is getting her internet fix. Big problems here though..........rigs are getting bigger and the itty bitty spaces are getting smaller from the foilage growing around them. Finally got backed in and a branch was rubbing the side of the M/H. Asked the ranger if they could trim it back......some other ranger shows up, looks at it and she ses "I can't do it right now.......got three other jobs to do........maybe tomorrow". I pointed out to her if wind picks up the branch will be rubbing the side of the M/H and asked if I could borrow a saw..........."Can't do that" was her response. The time it took to tell me why she couldn't do it was more time than it would have taken to hack the branch off! Go figure. When she left I threw a tiedown up onto the branch, pulled it down and broke/twisted it off. Looks like I'm going to have to add a tree saw or pair of loppers to my carry around arnsenal. We're coming back to the same spot on Sunday so I'd best keep my mouth shut and maybe they'll trim enough branch so I can open the slide on that side.

Our "free camping" at Spirit Mt. Casino last night was anything but "FREE". We didn't even go into the casino last night; but, went in for breakfast this morning. GREAT BISCUITS AND GRAVY!!! Rest of the buffet wasn't too bad either and the best part was mine was "free". We got there a few minutes before the buffet opened so "B" was playing a slot machine near the entrance and I stood in line. A lady standing in line starting hitting on me and offered me a breakfast...........seems she had a coupon good for two breakfasts and her old man wasn't with her. I said "shore.......I'd go for a free breakfast". I could tell that she had more than "breakfast" on her mind; but, it all fell apart when Becky shows up. Fortunately, the lady still shared her coupon with me..........then I had to pay for Becky. That was the only luck I had............breakfast and a free camping night cost me an arm and a leg, not to mention a lost opportunity,.............and the casino even gave us each $5.00 to gamble with. We're not going back to that one.........I don't mind losing a few bucks; however, I'd like a little entertainment with it!

We dropped the Rhino off at the Fish Hatchery where Wayne and Phyllis are working so they'll baby sit if for us. Got hooked up, long shower so now we're heading back out to the hatchery and we'll probably go out for some fresh fish and chips, clam chower and whatever at "J"'s.

Heading for Sand Lake tomorrow sometime. All for now W&B
