More summer vacation.....

Camping can be fun. This year when we went to Lake Casitas we thought we would have tons of fun. It ended up being way to hot and we did not get our good capmsite that we had last year. This year we did have a view of the lake, which was cool. The only problem was we did not have much shade. Oh and we were by the model airstrip. Evey morning we were woken up by the sound of model airplanes flying around. We did watch them for a while and then my dad asked me if I remembered when he used to do that. I laughed because all of a sudden I did remember it only back then the only place to fly them was by the cemetery and of course there was the one time when one crashed and landed in the cemetery. he thought it may have been more than once but I do remember it that one time.

Every other time we have been to the lake we used to have people ride in the back of the truck. The speed limit around there is 15 mph. This time there was tons of people riding in the back of trucks and boats that were being pulled by trucks. Well wouldnt you know it, we got pulled over. The ranger (Ranger Dick as we called him) told us that he stopped us because we had people in the back of the truck. So of course we said that we used to do it all the time and had never been told anything before. Ranger Dick then tells us that you can't do that anymore because the same laws that are applied outside of the lake now apply inside of the lake, but don't worry he will only give us a ticket for a small amount. I am thinking in the back of my mind, why not just give us a warning first moron. So we get a ticket for $50 and are told that if we pay it directly to Lake Casitas within the next 30 days they will not send it to the DMV. Let's see here, we pay the lake directly...another way for them to make money!!! Time to find a new place to go camping at!!! We had a great time anyway, but the ticket and the bee sting of one of our fellow campers almost ruined the whole trip. I will continue next time with more of our summer fun!!! Maybe I will figure out how to put pictures on here too. HEHEHEHE
