370 Lakeside Park, St Peters, MO

Weather is perfect.  Seventies, no wind, no clouds, no bugs.  Took the bike trail around the park, lots of grass hoppers, should work well in the lake.  I see a few people fishing but haven't seen any fish.  It is kind of a large muddy pond with prehistoric creatures about.



They said the place flooded this year.  Given that and the fact that they just opened this May, I'm not sure what the normal water level will be.  Right now a lot of it looks like swamp but I'm told it is actually.....
Our rig is parked in the cluster in the upper right of the picture on the main body of the lake. 

Going to do some small projects on the fifth wheel and then maybe wash the truck.  I'm saving the job of washing the fifth wheel for Tallahassee, after we finish most of our bug smashing.

Stay warm, we are.
