Love rainy days Camping!

Where are we today ? 

Galvin Bay Resort, Buckhorn Ontario

         Yep, just love warm rainy days camping. Why? Nice change of pace, cool down a tiny bit, pitter patter of rain on the roof of our coach and I can collect rain water and wash our coach and car, allowing the rain water to rinse every thing down for a spotless finish. (they don't allow vehicle or rv washing in the park, but can't say anything if I do it in the rain).
         So got my buckets out collected lotsa water, long handle brush, rain poncho and my rain hat, (an Arizona Palm leaf hat that just loves the rain). It keeps my head, glasses and hearing aides dry.

4th time filling buckets

nice steady warm rain

coach is all done, now the car

        Not much for walking about in the rain but got my exercise today washing in the rain. Another nice thing about warm rain water is it is awesome for washing my hair and beard if they were still long. Not so much anymore thou, thats what I used to do a few years ago. Actually quite a few years ago.

my rainwater soft fine hair

         So when the rain let up slightly we went outside to read for a while just listening to the raindrops on our awning and watching rivers of water running down the road.

yep we are having a heavy rain

         Now do you need a heavy duty truck to pull your 5th wheel trailer? Here is just the rig for you. Only 107,000 kms (66,000. mile) on it. Satellite dish, full kitchen, bathroom, shower, generator, sleeping and a 20 thousand pound 5th wheel hitch. Only $41,000.00 cheaper than a new pick up truck.

         The thing about cottage country when it rains, on a Sunday there is a mass exodus of people heading back to the city very early in the day, sure glad we are not travelling in that especially with this rain.

        The day was great cooling down a bit to 70 f and quite nice. Then eventually time to fire up our Weber Q to grill some new red potatoes, fresh carrots and peas in the pod. Coated them with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper then let then go on the grill (close the lid) turning every 10 minutes or so until done just right. When they begin to get a bit dark from the grill brings out the natural sugars in them and taste amazing. 

        Next heated up some left over pork with gravy we had frozen that John and Lea had given us from that Pig Roast at the Canada Day party. Had an awesome hot pork sandwich with veggies and taters done on the grill.

so tasty

         Supper done and now we can enjoy a nice warm summer evening outside, rain has stopped and sun is shining, love it!

         Just wanna thank ya'll for stopping by for a peak and hope you had a great day too!
