Spring must be here?

Getting ready to head out sometime in the next couple of weeks, but not for the first time this year. Say what you want about living on the wet side of the state,but we have been out at least for a couple of nites a month all winter.
On the other hand,I took it out tuesday to top off the tank and a spin around the block,25 mile spin, and after I got home,a car drove up the driveway, evidently saw the MH parked there and did a u-turn on the lawn and headed back out of the driveway at a high rate of speed. Did get their license number though.

You must be in the high country.
We are in Palisade (only about 5000 ft up) and we have had a great early spring.
We have had some rain the last four weeks. That is a good thing though, we need it - only about 5 inches of snow total all winter.
Also the main irrigation pipe for our part of town was damaged by some railroad work and we have had no irrigation water for about three weeks.
Our three fruit trees bloomed early and have a lot of marble sized fruit on them already.

(sorry dup)

The family down the street has a pop-up in the driveway. Never saw it there before. It has been UP all week, garage door open with "supplies" near the door. Today the propane tank was off. I haven't caught the guy outside (I do not know him)but I have been hoping I did, so I could wish them happy camping.

Over the years we have found out about many good camping spots that are not in any books by talking with people just like you mention.

No, I didn't know her and yes, big red flags went up in my mind. I kept waiting for her wanting something. Never came out. Couple kids in back seat with a dog.

That's what surprised me the most, maybe that's why it's still it stood out in my mind.

She just wanted to tell me about her upcoming camping trip and then waved by. Not common now days to engage in conversation with complete strangers IMO.

When she asked about our trip, I did mention we just back from AZ and she said "lot of old folks go there". She probably thought I was a harmless old guy.

Yes, my red flags absolutely went up. 3 or 4 months ago, I asked a lady pushing a cart up the grocery aisle where to find something. The look she gave me...I'm sure if she would of had a taser, I'd still be wiggling on the ground.

It's been a long cold winter. Everyone is excited about spring.
And some are not sure winter is really over..

Did I mention it was a long cold winter. :)

Thanks for sharing your pleasant experience.
