The campground was full for Memorial Day weekend. Attendance will pick up again in a week or two when school will be out. The week of Fourth of July has been sold out for several days.
The first weekend in June was the 2019 Silver Lakes Sand Dunes Jeep Invasion, an annual event that brings thousands of visitors to the area for a full weekend of events. One of our campers said there were over 1400 Jeeps ( all kinds and sizes) registered for the gathering.
There was a little excitement last week when one of the workers noticed a tree limb about 50 feet off the ground showing a fresh crack and threatening to fall on a seasonal park model. The campground owner quickly contacted his favorite tree service, who arrived soon, and then spent 3 hours removing the threatening branches and cleaning up. Since the campground is in a wooded enviroment, this may be a common occurance. We've had some high wind gusts a couple of times during our stay.
We've seen black squirrels for the first time. There are large fish in Silver Lake so fishing is a common pastime along with riding and walking the dunes. As always, we have plenty of computer actiities to keep us occupied, which is good since we don't get any TV reception. Daytime temperatures are usually in the 70's so it's pleasant to sit outside and maby even enjoy a campfire. The seasonal residents are friendly and have made us feel welcome.
We're on site 94.
