Double Trouble Worth the Effort

 Lake Blackshear provided the scenery for our next outing.  We arrived at the campground later than we had hoped, only to find that there were no available sites along the lake shore, so we set up in a lovely shaded area across the road with our back to the water.  It'll do, we conceded.

After a  quick setup, we walked over to the lake to join our friends Donald and Marlene, retirees who arrived a day earlier.  They had the steaks and potatoes ready. Yummy for a couple of hungry, disappointed campers.

In the morning, we road our bikes to the dump station for Jamie to help Donald with the necessaries, and afterwards, we discovered there were a couple of empty spaces along the water.  Should we go or should we stay now?

Knowing the beauty of the sunrise over the lake in the misty morning, we opted for a quick switch-a-roo.  It only took a few minutes to break down and re-setup in an easy pull-through site at the water's edge.  So glad we did!

Mist rises from the lake as the orange glow of morning illuminates the sky beyond the tree line.
After a bike ride winding through the lake's Scenic Route neighborhood, we returned to camp and relaxed in the shade lakeside.

The geese entertained us with their waddling and honking.
A coworker dropped by and summoned her sister-with-a-boat to pick us up for a ride over to the Cypress Grill for dinner.
The sunrise on Sunday morning was worth the move.
A family of geese swim by.  Some grown-ups poke around in the shade. Can you see them?

Love this view.  Wish we could linger longer here.
We'll be back.
