Getting the campground ready for Memorial Day weekend is a big deal. It's the first busy weekend of the summer and all the campsites have to be mowed, firepits cleaned out, gravel added to the roads, etc. Everyone is very busy and then at the last minute the owner decides the new flagpole has to be put up so the flag can be flown. Jim and I stained and varnished the pole last fall. It took five guys and the tractor with some engineering to get it raised up but they did it. All of us ladies stood by and took photos -- thought we should have some pictures for the insurance if something bad happened.
We've been fishing all the bays for smallmouth bass. The bass are getting ready to spawn so they are in shallow water. I caught a very nice fish and had many fish chase after my bait. We had a great time fishing during the week right before the busy weekend, the weather was perfect and we had most of the fishing spots to ourselves. We got hungry while fishing and decided to pull into a marina in Ephraim. I walked to Wilson's restaurant -- its close to the water and has good burgers and ice cream. Wilson's is a landmark in the area and you can eat in their covered patio and see the water. When I walked in there I was surprised to see how well staffed it was. They have four people just working the ice cream counter and then each section of the restaurant had an army of servers waiting for customers. Since it was the middle of the week and before the big weekend there was almost no one there. I had food in no time flat. I know the next time we try to get food there it won't be so easy.
