A Change In The Weather, Day 2 Of The Rally, and The Lake

Longs, SC.
63 deg. cloudy, W. wind @ 6 mph.
Forecast today = high temp. 69 deg. partly cloudy, NW wind @ 10 to 15 mph.

It was another beautiful day here in Longs yesterday, although it was pretty breezy. We've been having high temps in the upper 70's to close to 90 deg. every day since we've been here, but a cold front came through last night and brought some rain, and now it looks like for the rest of the time we will be here, that the temps will be closer to the normal with the range being between the upper 60's and mid 70's.

Not bad, but could get cool for any activities that are not during the warmest part of the day.

Jim took his bike and went over to the banquet hall to go to a couple of seminars yesterday morning. He won't be going to all the seminars because some of them don't cover the way we full-time, or are of no interest to him or Linda. After he got back, he worked on his bike because the shifter was not working properly. Well, it turned out that it just needed a little lubrication, and a minor adjustment to get everything working properly again.

After he got that fixed, he took the bike for a ride around the lake here at the Resort. It's a pretty big lake and there is a bike/walking path that goes all the way around it. Come to find out, the path is just 1 mile long. Jim stopped and took a few photos and this first one was taken from across the lake looking back at the CG.

Along the way, there are a few benches and even a couple of picnic tables like this so you to take a rest or have a nice lunch. The buildings you see are the office and banquet hall, and you can also see the sandy beach right at the lake's edge behind the office.

The photo above is one of some fog hanging over the lake that Jim took the other morning. It was taken from my site and I just though it looked kind of neat, so I though I'd share it with you.  

Last night, they had a chili cook-off over at the banquet hall and a whole bunch of the folks brought their favorite chili to be judged and then shared by all the people. (There were about 15 different kinds). Jim's not a big fan of chili, but he found a couple of different ones that weren't too spicy, and said that he enjoyed the meal.

After the meal, they had "RV show-and-tell". Some of the folks brought some neat things that they have found useful for camping or RVing and others brought some funny stuff to show. I'm not sure, but I think I heard some laughing and clapping all the way over here at my site, so I think everyone really had a good time. ;-)

Today, Jim will probably go to a few more seminars and then tonight is the Pot-luck dinner, where everyone brings some food to share.

It should be another fun day! :-)

Did you know that the largest Gingko farm in the world is near Sumter, SC?
