Sadlers Creek SP (Oct 4-9)

We had a very scenic, pleasant drive here and arrived about 1:30 PM. It was about 100 miles, and uneventful. We are here because of the closing of Twin Lakes Army Corps of Engineers Campground by our government. We have a very nice site, and can see Lake through the trees. The weather is supposed to deteriorate at the end of the weekend. We should be fine here, however.

Saturday - We had to go over to the office this morning, so we got out on the water a little late. The fishing was rather slow and it took almost until we were ready to quit before John finally caught a bass. They have to be 12 inches to keep, and this one was 11 3/4 inches long. How do they know? John talked to the supervisor at Twin Lakes and found out that they mistakenly put on their web sight that they were closed. She said they would try to get most of our money refunded, but John replied that it was their mistake and we should get a full refund. We later got an email that showed that we in fact got a full refund. Petersburg is open, so that will still be our next stop.

Sunday – This morning we went to church with our friends Tom and Jane. It was an excellent service especially a ladies trio that sang. Afterwords we went out to lunch with them and other friends to a Mexican restaurant. We also made plans to meet with them on Tuesday for a fishing outing. After making a Walmart stop we returned to a nearly empty campground. We went back over to the pavilion area and fished for awhile. We each caught a few bream and redeye bass. We then went back to the RV and watched the Bear's game that we had recorded earlier. Unfortunately the Bears couldn't pull this one out. Very heavy rain and some thunder game in the night, but thankfully nothing severe.

Monday – We had heavy rains in the night, but it turned out to be a very pleasant day. We went on an explore, and checked out a few recreation areas. We fished a few areas and caught some bream. 

Tuesday - We had our plans interrupted by high winds. We had made arrangements with Tom and Jane to go out fishing on their boat, but the high winds came up. We had a wonderful grilled pork tenderloin dinner with them at their place in the evening.

Wednesday - Still too windy to go out on the boat, so we met Tom and Jane at one if their favorite places, The Chicken Basket, and had an excellent lunch. The conversation was also excellent. We stopped at a boat launch on the way back and fished for awhile. John caught a nice hand-sized bream on a chartreuse wooly bugger. When we got back to our campsite , we got a few things ready to leave in the morning. 

Thursday - Moving day.
