Before leaving C B Smith Park & Campground I took pictures of 2 birds and an iguana. We like this park and all the iguanas. An oasis in the middle of a large town.
We saw smoke ahead and realized they were burning the fields.
We arrived at Ortona Locks Campground. This is a Corps of Engineer Campground and with our America the Beautiful Pass we get half price camping. 50amp Electric and water but no sewer for $15 a night. Can't beat the price and the campground is beautiful.
Our view from our bedroom window in Site#2. This was a river behind us.
and the canal from the front window. The boat had just gone through the lock which is just to the left.
Bryan didn't waste much time in getting his fishing rod out and tried the stream behind us.
Nice big space behind us. Like having our own back yard.
There was a knock at the door and he caught one. Yay!!!!
I took some pictures of the area around us. There are a lot of empty sites. It's hot here and everyone has left to head North. This place is full in winter.
Sunday May 12th, 2019
Bryan decided to try fishing over by the lock.
He was there for a while when suddenly the heavens opened up and there was torrential rain. Here he is walking back, already drenched and he didn't catch any fish. 😞
I took this VIDEO of the rain and watching for him to come back. He was the last fisherman to appear and I was starting to get worried about him, when there he was casually strolling through the rain. He said he already was wet enough there was no point in rushing, ha!!ha!!
The rain eventually stopped and we were sitting in our chairs, when Bryan looked out the front window and saw this Bald Eagle in a tree on the opposite bank. Here he is spreading his wings.
Three hours later he was joined by another Bald Eagle. How awesome was that!! Sorry the picture is a bit blurred, it was the best I could do in the fading light.

After dinner, we went for a walk around the campground. We are due to move sites tomorrow and we wanted to see what other sites were available. We may just stay where we are as it appears to be available.
