2010 - Oct. 1 A Rainy Day at Glen Ellis RV Park in Glen, NH

Very little rain last night, but some pretty heavy wind gusts. Got up about 7:00 this morning and had a shower and some breakfast. Got in a bit of visiting before the clouds opened up at about 10:30. The forecast is for 2 - 4 inches of rain today, tapering off tonight. Tomorrow and Sunday are supposed to be clear. That will make tomorrow's cog train trip to the summit of Mt. Washington more enjoyable. Seems like it was foggy and rainy for every guided tour we took in Alaska. It would be nice to have clear weather tomorrow.

Someone drove a stick into the river bed at the water's edge last night. By this morning, the water level had dropped about a foot. We'll see where it is after today's rain. There were bear tracks along the river yesterday, but they're gone now. There are definitely bears in the area. Moose too!

As I mentioned yesterday, the group camping area where we are camped is in a grassy area along the edge of the woods. There are five utility huts spaced out along the woods (see picture). Stored inside the hut are eight long 50 amp cables and a couple of extensions. Each cable plugs into the electrical outlets on the outside of the hut. The other end of the cable is connected to the camper to supply its electrical power. There are water spigots there for a hose connection to each camper. Each hut can supply eight campers. Pretty slick!

So, here it is, 10:55am. Marsha is reading her book and I'm typing this blog entry. If it gets more exciting, I'll let you know.

It's now 7:33pm. We just finished our catered dinner. It rained all day. Did a little visiting; drank a little beer; took a few pictures. The road to the Mt. Washington Cog Railway Station washed out during the rain today, so we have to use some kind of "access road" to get there tomorrow. Hopefully, tomorrow's pictures will be more interesting.
