The host camper experience is working out well. If I can survive Labor Day weekend here we
may be on to something. Today I again
took the bike out to Gooseberry Island.
There are two World War II watch
towers that are intact on the island.
The towers are covered in graffiti but in reasonably good condition, surprising
since there is no real care-taker for them.
The east tower has the access secured but I noticed stones and an iron
structure set up as a breech to allow access through the window opening. The west tower has access to the ground
level and I found a homeless encampment.The park staff was aware of the mattress and supplies in the west tower so it was a pretty easy morning.
The cleaning task went easily today so we were again able to
enjoy some time on the waterfront. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to take anymore sun but I stayed covered and kept my boonie hat wet, plus there was a nice breeze
today that gave a significant cooling effect. After a little relaxation on the water it was
another tour of the campground. Today
waste collection came emptied the three dumpsters in the campground. However, as is usually the case at a campground, the
dumpsters were full and there was additional trash on the sides of them. Do you think the dumpster guy would take
that? Nope, apparently his job does not require him to leave his truck. So off I went putting all
the trash that was alongside the dumpsters into the them so they have a good head start towards full – stupid trash
guy!!!
The plan is for Ralph to be back tomorrow so Lori and I will
be off. We look to be kayaking Westport
Harbor. I would also like to visit the
Horseneck Point Life Saving Station but as we are slowly figuring out – there is
so much to see and do and not enough time to do it all correctly.
