| Our sign, Jack made. Sydney and Tanner's sign was a gift from Bill & Terry. Having these signs opens us up to meeting new people who knows someone, who knows someone who lives in Warsaw, etc., etc. This trip to Opp though we did meet one of the park's rangers who spent most of his life in Warsaw. Ends up he lived by a gal who worked with Jack for many years. |
We spent the rest of the day doing odds and ends. Jack changed the oil and filter on the Onan generator that we have on the 5th wheel. We can run everything on the 5th wheel with the generator and have on a couple of instances when the parks electricity was out or if we stop in a parking lot or rest stop and want to use the air conditioner, tv or micro wave. For you camping people out there we went opted for the generator and convertor rather than more batteries and an invertor. Changing oil on the truck or 5th wheel etc. isn't stuff Jack necessarily wants/likes to do but he doesn't trust just anyone to do it so he does it himself. It's kind of the same thing has us grooming the dogs ourselves.
The park employees at Opp were all extremely nice. I would suggest to anyone considering this state park though to think about a few small details when choosing a site; We chose to park up on the hill away from the lake because of the dogs. We quickly realized though that we COULD NOT get the wifi service the park advertises. You have to be, evidently, directly across the street from the wifi antenna and hold your tongue a certain way. Until we talked to some other campers we did not know this little unknown fact. But more importantly if you choose to stay there during the winter it is best to camp up on the hill where the sun can reach you. It was a good 10 degrees cooler down by the lake. And in the winter you go to the South for the sun.
I am happy though to be moving on where, hopefully, there is a lot more to do and see. Hope you all are well.
