Daisy Mae will be 9 years old on Labor Day. And each year that she goes to Cherry, she gets sorer and sorer. Part of the reason is she never stops....allllll day long. This pic is on the morning of the third day. She was up for hours before she finally jumped in. She just laid next to me all morning and watched the world go by.
On this morning, we heard coyotes for the first time at Cherry. There was group of them on a peninsula that we were by and there was one or more behind us. They were yapping and talking to each other and we could hear the one behind us travel towards the group on the peninsula.
This was also the morning that we got a ticket for having our tents too close to the water. The ticket was for $125 dollars! It was a bad deal because we had previously talked to a ranger who said that we could put the tents close to the water but that the "kitchen" had to be at least 100 yards from the high water mark. We can't complain too much because we have camped there for free for the last 11 years! A $125 "donation" seems like its the least we can do. That comes to $11.36 a year. And it is not really even that much because we split the cost between the 4 families that were there. So that would make it $2.84 per year for each family! Pretty good deal!
