Off to find a special dog park for the dogs today. It is in Amelia Island, which is a beautiful little village. This particular dog park is run by the SPCA here on the island. It is attached to the SPCA Adoption Center and is run totally by volunteers. It is a huge park with $80,000 worth of astro turf and a large dog bone shaped pool. It costs $10.00 per dog to go in and $5 for a second dog which anyone from Colorado who frequents dog parks, is a huge deal. All proceeds go to help the dogs in the shelter. The dogs loved it! They spent a happy couple of hours swimming and jumping into the pool.

The next day, we decided to spend the day hanging out at the campground. Did some much needed laundry and went to the commissary and stocked up on some groceries. I am getting used to cooking in such a small space. Speaking of small spaces, we have had so many compliments on our little Airstream. And, have given quite a few tours of the inside. I may have to start charging.

   We were walking through a clover filled area on the base, when we saw what we thought was a ground hog. On closer inspection though we decided it was a rascally muskrat and a very large one at that. Back at the camp, somebody told us that there are loads of them around here. They dig little holes all around the campground and eat the grass roots. The grounds people replace the grass every other month or so, and the muskrats come in at night and get them again
