Last day before the beach

Today is just a lazy day for us.  We are meeting an old army buddy of Brad's tonight, and then will head to Jamaica Beach tomorrow.  When we arrived yesterday, the office here was closed for New Year's Day.  They had e-mailed us all our information, including our site number, when we called for reservations, so we just drove right to our site and hooked up and settled in.  I needed to go pay and finish our registration this morning.  When I walked up to the office this morning, it was still closed, but I saw they had taped an info folder to the front door, for us to find when we arrived yesterday, but we hadn't even looked!  Now we have the wifi login information!  We've had other parks do that... Leave our information for us outside the office when we were arriving outside of office hours, but it was usually at a place we had paid for ahead of time, and they had specifically told us they'd leave info for us.  Now we know to always look if we arrive when the office is closed.

I finally caught up with the office staff when the office opened at 10:00 and got all squared away with them.  In front of the office is this:

Cute!

Budger continues to be our lookout, although there is not much for him to protect us from here... No random stray cats wandering around, no trees in the park, so no vicious squirrels to quiver at... He keeps looking, though.
We did have to go check out the neighbor, though.

Looking forward to this view tomorrow.

We met up with Brad's old army buddy, Dave, tonight, just down the road from where we're staying.  It was a lot of fun to listen to them recall old stories from their days in Korea.  I hope we get to hang out with him again, and hopefully his wife, next time.
Same pose, a few years ago...

Some awesome food also... Fried pickle chips, ribs, fried okra, mashed tators, and some pie to have for breakfast tomorrow.
I may have sat on the pie containers when I got in the truck... I'm sure the banana cream will still taste good.
Brad's apple pie was safe, though.

Oh, and the random hippo at the bar...
