Part 2 Elkridge Lodge

Susan says she feels "decadent". Most people would feel far from decadent at Karl's Lodge RV and Campground, but our cabin is pretty nice even with the walk to the restrooms and shower. It has a refrigerator and microwave, and kitchen sink with hot and cold running water. Compared to the outhouse and cold water pump we have had for the past two days, I guess it could be considered decadent.

The fly fishing club (with 22 attendees) is taking up most of the lodge as I don't see anyone else here. There are some in tents, some in camping vans, truck and tent campers, and two cabins -- ours being one, and the club "hosts" for this weekend have set up the kitchen and cooking center. We will be provided breakfasts, lunches and a dinner from this created kitchen. Fascinating to watch them create this area from the hauled stuff in the back of an open trailer

The campground/lodge is strewn with old stuff -- tractors, fire trucks, farm implements, old sheds with old signs, cars and car parts, and, of course, junk -- and Karl the owner makes this his home. We are right on the river so fisherpeople make this a regular destination. Some, including Susan, have been down to the river for some casting for those elusive fish, and I catch up with some writing. There is no wifi here, but Nancy, the owner of the restaurant where we ate said I can use hers -- if I can ever get up there! So posting will be spotty, and most may have to be done from home.

Eight of us went to Nancy's for dinner and I at at least got one entry posted. Will work at getting this one done tomorrow. In the mean time -- good night.
