New friends

Dam West Rec Area
Carlyle Lake, IL



We enjoyed our day today.
The temperature was nice,
but the wind made it too
difficult to take the
Sea Eagle out on the lake.



So..
instead..
we took the bikes out,
and pedaled around the 
campground a bit.



There are some great bike trails
in and around the town of Carlyle.

Yesterday when we
pulled in and got set up, 
our neighbors came over
and introduced themselves.



Jim & Pat are RVrs,
and live within an hour of the lake..
lucky them!

We had the pleasure of
sitting at their campsite and
talking to them off and on today.


Tonight, they had some friends
coming by for dinner, and
invited us as well.
Cool!

Jim made chicken soup, 
over the fire even!
We made shish kabobs,
and their friends brought dessert.


It was a lovely day, 
and a nicer evening.

Terrific people!

  1. I was pretty sure you'd love the COE parks. What's not to like? Even the neighbors are great :)

  4. Some of the nicest people we've ever met are RVers. Many have become special friends to us, you fall into that group. Even though we may not see you in person as much as we'd like, it is so nice to visit via our blogs. :c)

  6. Meeting people and making new friends is what I miss with our being static. Yes, I enjoy our life together - just us - but I also miss being with others, sharing stories and making memories. Enjoy!
