THURS NOV 21, 2023- CAMPING -MADE A CAMPFIRE FOR MYSELF

MOVED INTO #15 TENT FOR 1 NIGHT.

MET SOME NEIGHBORS.

FELLOWS FROM NEW YORK STATE.

2 BROTHERS IN THEIR 50'S VISITING THEIR FATHER IN BOCA RATON.

THEY HAD A NICE CAMPFIRE. BURNING SOME WOOD PLANKING/ SHELVES.

THEY Are assisting their elder father to clear out storage.

ONE BROTHER GAVE ME A SMALL HANDFUL OF HERKIMER DIAMONDS.

HE TELLS ME THAT HERKIMER DIAMONDS ARE A SMALL BUSINESS OF HIS.

I HAD PLANNED TO REST EARLY AND WAS GOING TO SKIP HAVING ANY DINNER.

PREPARING TO CHECK OUT OF AND LEAVE CAMP GROUNDS TOMORROW, FRIDAY.


A BUMPY NIGHT AS THERE IS A STRANGE MAN WHO SHOWED UP WHO SAT IN HIS CAR.

HE GOT OUT A COUPLE TIMES AND DRANK FROM A BOTTLE IN HIS BACK SEAT.

HE SAT THERE AWHILE BETWEEN THE 2 PARKING SPOTS NEXT TO MINE.

FOR SAFETY, THOGH VERY TIRED,  I DECIDED TO STAY UP, AND BUILD A CAMPFIRE.

 I HAD THE WOOD PREPARED ANYWAY.

THE REGISTRATION/ GUEST CHECK IN OFFICE CLOSES AT 5:30 PM.

I HAD SPOKEN TO THE CAMP OFFICE PEOPLE AND KNEW THAT THERE WERE NO REGISTERED GUESTS IN  THE TENT NEXT TO MINE BY 5;30PM.

AS FAR AS I  UNDERSTAND PEOPLE CAN REGISTER ON-LINE AND CHECK IN LATE.


I ASKED THE " DRIVE-AROUND" SECURITY GUARD IF THE MAN WAS A REGISTERED CAMPER.

THE SECURITY GUARD BECAME IRRATE WITH ME. HE WENT ON OFFENSE.

DID NOT REALLY SLEEP ALL NIGHT.
