Tonight is our fifth night here and we're taking off tomorrow morning, heading further north to Perry Lake between Topeka and Lawrence, KS.
This is one of the top campgrounds we've stayed at on this trip. It is truly gorgeous, well maintained and landscaped, 95 sites including tent sites, 30 amp sites, 50 amp sites and full hookup sites. Any site you pull into is spacious and has shade somewhere as well as a beautiful view. We spent the first 4 nights in a 50 amp site and today moved over to a full hookup in order to do all the laundry. Pictures
Hummingbirds are still finding us and we still enjoy watching the fiesty little birds. There are large squirrels here, lots of robins, sparrows, blackbirds of some sort as well as some other birds I can't name. There are some different trees here too and again I can't name them. As a matter of fact, when we moved to this new site today we found baby Robins just outside the bedroom window and have enjoyed watching Momma and Daddy Robin bring them big juicy caterpillars all day long. They must be very young as they don't chirp yet but sure do open their little mouths wide. They are fuzzy and we think there are three of them. Pictured.
We took a ride into Ottawa on Saturday to do some shopping and Boyd noticed a sweet corn sign on the street. We turned around and went back to it and bought a baker's dozen and a basket of tomatoes. The man selling it gave Boyd an ear to try and I tried it too and let me tell you, it was soo sweet and tender, really yummy like Zellwood's Candy Corn.
The buildings in downtown Ottawa were really ornate and each one was different in it's own way. plus many of them had lights on them and the whole town must be really pretty at night when they turn them all on. The old homes were also very ornate as well and very well kept up which was nice to see as they were so beautiful. The paint jobs on them were great too as they emphasized the details. Pictures.
I would highly recommend this area to anyone, it's a winner!
