Quiet Day @ Trinidad Lake SP … and the Research Continues

Saturday, 6 June 2015
Carpios Ridge Campground — Trinidad Lake State Park, Colorado
Temps: Hi 83F (28C) / Lo 52F (11C)

First Let’s Have Some Fun.

A pitch dark site; quiet too … after our late-arriving neighbors finished setting up in the dark; only the occasional strong gust rocking the Phaeton; no thunderstorms … no weather alerts … a tiny bit of rain pitter-pattering on the roof.  Yup, had a good night’s rest at Trinidad Lake State Park.

Wake up came with the reminder that I needed to deal with the plagiarism/copyright infringement issue.  Sigh!  Shelving plans to go hiking, I sat down at the computer to get started with researching what actions I needed to take, and solutions that would keep me blogging.  At least it was still quite chilly outside, so I didn’t feel too bad about being at my desk.

Fisher's Peak, a basalt-capped mesa, is thought to have been formed by horizontal lava
flows over a million years ago.  The 9,600-foot high (2,925m) mesa looms over the reservoir.

Third Day on the Road … and We Arrive @ Trinidad Lake State Park, Colorado

Note (8 June 2015): I briefly took my blogs offline by making them private, but an expert on Google’s Blogger forum said I probably had to keep the blog public so that Google can find it when they look into the DCMA violation I filed.  So I changed back again.  Since the blog is out there already, might as well post to it until action is completed on my filing.  When might that be?  Your guess is as good as mine.

In the meantime, you might notice a change in the tone of this post.  That’s because I simply copied and pasted from the private journal.  Skip over what you don’t want to read ;-)  And if some of it doesn’t
make sense, remember the words were written before I switched the blog setting to be public again.

Blogging No More?  Maybe.  But First …

Our third day on the road … the last leg of the drive to our weekend stop before we continue onto Colorado Springs, where we will be spending a month.  The trip started in Port Aransas on June 1.  So how is it that this is day three when the date for the post reads the 5th and we started out on the 1st?
