Last night I did not have the camp ground to myself - just as I was getting ready to go to bed a group came in and took 2 sites.  They had a bunch of young kids (middle school age?) who were loud.  As I went to bed I was a crabby old man but I fell asleep instantly.  I woke up around 11 and those kids were being loud swimming and I was really crabby and then the teacher side of me took over and I thought - at least they are outside playing and not on their devices and I went right back to sleep with a smile on my face.

I saw my first hikers today (still not counting the Copper Falls SP people as they were on the state park trail for the falls.  The first 2 (not together) were backpackers and the other 2 were a couple with 3 unleashed dogs with 1 somewhat aggressive and out of control but I didn't feel threatened but keep your dogs in control.

These next 2 pictures were taken from the exact same spot but are 2 different trees.  Super cool.
