Crowded campgrounds! Especially in resort areas. We headed today for The Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area with our eye on the Army Corps of Engineers Canal Campground near Grand Rivers KY. Of the 110 campsites here all 108 reservable sites are taken for this weekend after the 4th of July. Luckily we had our choice of either of the two Walk-In sites. We chose #18 and paid for three nights but we have the option of extending our stay to a max of fourteen nights! On our walk around this evening we began to surmise that many of the campers are families that come here the same week or two weeks every year and have created somewhat of a summer camp atmosphere. There’s quite a few white DIY 5 gallon bucket lanterns. The primary mode of transportation is golf cart, even on the roads outside the park! But we have to say we’re enjoying our little quiet dark corner of the camp!
Our walking tour through the historic heart of Stavanger gave us insight into the canning and maritime industries that fueled this community as well as some tasty tidbits.
Our short visit to Njardarheimr gave us insight into life in 11th Century Norway and educated us on the role of “Vikings” within the Norse community of the time.
