We had a slow start and left the campground around 9:30, heading straight to Walmart for a few last-minute supplies, including a toilet deodorizer to deal with a slight but annoying trailer odor.
After a late lunch in the parking lot, we made our final drive into Eminence. There’s something reassuring about arriving at a campground we’ve visited many times before. We quickly settled into our site and put out all the extras: the outside tent, side table, festive lights, and even our marquee-style sign that proudly says, “Scotty & Julie, Paddling Buds.” We are home.
Best of all, we reunited with our paddling friends Lauren, John, his new friend Kara, and Leta. We spent the afternoon catching up and sharing stories from our camping adventures over the past year.
For dinner, we made pizza on the Blackstone grill and enjoyed a Pumphouse beer. Life is good!
To top off the evening, we attended the ranger talk on turtles at 8:30. Then, like the old folks we are, we headed back to the trailer and turned in, excited to kayak the next day.
