People arriving all day here for the long weekend, with pretty nice weather too.

Where are we today ?

Arkona Ontario

         Such a beautiful morning, sunshine, almost warm and lots of activity around. The campground has been filling up since late yesterday and lots of children about having a great time.

our site beside the cabin

we are in the square and all sites are taken

        By late afternoon the electrical problem has been repaired in the valley so now these sites are open, good thing, they will need them for this long weekend.
        We had sunshine and clouds for most of the day with temperatures in the mid 60's f (17c) so not too bad when the sun was shinning. But we enjoyed it for quite a while getting caught up a bit reading our books. Couple people stopped to say hello and was a great day, listening to the kids having fun and now (with my new hearing aides) I can even hear the birds making way too much noise, (not used to that yet). But I think I can put up with that.
         Got a message from Rick Doyle about a Google +  hangout we are going to do on Monday. And was invited to do a test hangout with him. This is such a cool program. I actually talked to Rick in real time video and he showed me a few features of this great program Monday there will be nine or ten of us bloggers going into a hangout to discuss and learn all about this up and coming social network from Google. At first did not like it but it does has some very promising features.
         Soon time to fire up our Weber for supper. Tonight I marinated a small pork roast, with olive oil, and a few spices. Plopped it on the preheated grates of our Weber at a nice low setting for about 50  minutes Then added some potato slices marinated with olive oil and a vegetable spice and a can of corn. Apple wood chips in the foil.

preheat the grill 15 minutes turn down low and drop the pork roast
on the grill closing the lid 50 minutes,
then add the taters and corn for another 20 minutes

pork roast done perfect at 155-160 f

add some broccoli, and apple sauce, so good

       Supper done but before we can relax a walkabout the resort. Lots more people here now so it was a slow walk stopping to chat here and there for a couple hours, many more people and dogs we have not seen since last year. Nice to see the campground so busy kids, dogs and campfires everywhere a cool evening and start a slight trace of rain not enough to spoil the night for this friday night of the first big camping weekend of the year.

        Have to get used to this nice weather and later nights outside, makes me much later posting the blog.
