We moved to a National Forest Campground, Fawn Lakes, on Wednesday because we want to be in the forest and near the river, we want to build campfires, and explore nature and John wants to trout fish.
Fawn Lakes is one of four campgrounds within 8 miles of Red River. They all have reservable sites and walk-in sites. We got a pretty nice walk-in site but John worries everyday that we will get kicked off because it is a handicapped site. So far no one has said anything to us. The two small lakes are very popular fishing holes so John is fishing the river. In two days we have gone into town at least three times to buy a fishing license, lures, strike indicators (aka bobbers), stuff to make the flies float and more flies and more bobbers and looked at fish nets. This is getting to be a really expensive sport!
I have done the laundry, got my hair cut, shopped for stuff, grocery shopped and picked up sticks for the fire. I am also crocheting baskets again. The weather has been pleasant, even cool due to clouds threatening rain but not letting go of their moisture. The campground host has been very friendly and gave us a map of some Jeep trails nearby. I’m ready to go!
