It was warm last night - in the 70's. We kept the tent flaps open until the middle of the night when it started to cool down. Woke up this morning to howling winds - 45 to 50 mph. We went out to put extra stakes on the tent. We ate a cold breakfast in the screen porch as it was too windy to light the stove. We stuck around this morning until the wind abated and then went for a walk to the camp store. Dave is working on carving a spoon so we stayed in camp today. We took several turns around the campground chatting with different folks we met along the way. We had Hawaiin chicken for dinner - it was good. A group of 14 young people pulled in next to us. They are traveling across the US with a program called Ameritreks. Most are college graduates taking a break before getting jobs. They were from England, Denmark, Germany, and Korea. They will spend two days here and then head for San Antonio, New Orleans, Memphis, DC, and finally NYC. We went into the tent after a while and watched a movie on the laptop.
