Cottonhill COE (Oct 9-11)

This was a shorter trip today, 135 miles. It was a very pretty drive the way we came. We picked up a lot of Argentine ants at our last stop and brought many of them with us. We had to do some spraying. Here, the problem seems to be gnats. Also the lake is choked with weeds. Hopefully, we can still fish. Our site is nice and shady.

Friday - Ants made their way along about 50 feet of satellite cable to get to the MH and we are out of spray. We found the local dollar store and took care of them. One way folks combat these Argentine ants is with Comet around anything that touches the ground. John had an idea to put cord into a container of Comet and run the cord around the wheels etc. it is important that the cord lays totally flat, so the area must be swept first. The fishing continues to be poor. 

Saturday - The families next to us didn't have a long enough cable to get their satellite working, so John loaned them our spare. They were elated that they could now watch Florida State play, and invited us to watch with them. We spent the afternoon, enjoyed getting to know them and shared burgers on the grill.
