After a couple of days of packing up and getting organized, visiting with brother Jeff and his vacationing girlfriend, and working ourselves to exhaustion, we FINALLY got out this morning, at the rather late hour of 11:00, but it took that long to make sure we had everything. Made several stops along the way before arriving at Lake Louisa State Park around 4:00. Filled up with water at the ranger station (because one of the rangers said we could, though after we started, another ranger came out and said that technically we couldn't since we were camping in the primitive area), and found out there was also potable water available at the dump down by the regular campground. Slow pressure made that a half hour job, before we moved on to the campground area. It was fully paved until the turnoff to the equestrian area, then it became a hard sand road for the last mile of so. The camping area is lovely, with 5 separate corrals scattered around under trees large enough to provide considerable shade, for which we were grateful as the temps are supposed to be in the mid-80s over the next few days. Corral 1 was a double corral, with plenty of space for both the horses, so we got them quickly put away before we began setting up, which despite the fact we were so out of practice, didn't take us long. Satellite dish took the longest because of some trees, but even so, we were fully settled in, with animals fed, long before dark, and fell exhausted in our recliners. To bed by 8:30!
