This morning it was a bit cool, in the 40's, so the heater felt pretty good. We needed to be in town for some things and to look over where we were going to be the next few days.

We checked out the school where the hamfest will be on Saturday. There is a large walmart close by, so that is where we will spend tomorrow night and then we will go to the school on Friday evening to set up and spend the night in the school lot.

We ate lunch at Panda Express and as we were leaving, a van pulled around us with an antenna on the roof. It looked like a triband vertical. It parked very close to our
van, so I went to the fellow driving and struck up a conversation. He was not an amateur, but had a scanner in the van and that was what the antenna was for. I mentioned that it looked like a tri band antenna and he said he had just bought some parts at Radio Shack and put them together to get better reception. I suggested he come to the hamfest on Saturday and he could buy an antenna designed expressly for his scanner as well as all kinds of other equipment. He was quite interested and indicated he would be there. It will be interesting to see if he actually shows up.

Our photos are of our very nice campground showing some of the other units here as well as the secluded areas where they are parked.
