Sign of the season, close up the camp

Yeah, Columbus Day weekend, time to batten down the hatches at the camp. Not quite a nautical situation but things must be dealt with before the onset of winter. I accompanied Lois and Jim up to my mother-in-law's where we spent Friday and Saturday nights for a visit and then a couple of hours Saturday morning taking care of business at the lake. Jim drained the plumbing system added some RV anti-freeze to the pipes and retrieved the waterline from the lake with Lois and I carrying up the concrete blocks used to hold down the line on the lake bottom. Then the three of us lift the lower two ramp sections and stack them on the upper most ramp.

The weather this weekend was unusually warm, temperatures got into the 80s!


Here the ramps are stacked safely away from the shore.

While Jim worked on the pipes Lois and I brought in the folding picnic table and the swing seat then cleaned out the wood shed.


Buttoned up and ready for winter - more than I'll be!
