Hazen Bay Sept. 2nd.

As the sun sets on another great summer experience here at Hazen Bay on Lake Sakakawea in North Dakota it's hard to believe the summer has gone by so fast and that tomorrow we will be on the road again. I guess it is time as I am getting itchy feet and need to be moving again. I don't know what we will do when we get to old for this and I can no longer scratch that itch. Our plans are to arrive in Florida late in Oct. hopefully in time for Oktoberfest at Buttonwood Bay. We definitely have fall in the air here in northern ND. Sat. & Sun we had temps of 95 to 100 degree's and yesterday the high was 57 degree's with rain showers and more of the same forecast for today.
The labor day weekend again saw us with a full campground. We had many familiar campers along with some new ones. One of our regulars brought their cotton candy machine and supplied cotton candy for the whole camp ground. This is the second time this year they have done this. Sat. evening we sat around the another campfire and had a pre wedding celebration for one of our seasonal campers daughters who is getting married next weekend. We also were invited to numerous campsites for delicious meals and farewell toasts and chats. Mon. morning it was a steady stream of people stopping by the motor home or the office to bid us farewell. Being the softy that Nancy is there were also a few tears shed. For some reason that we don't understand we have grown fonder and bonded closer with the people here than any other place we have ever been, even more so than Buttonwood Bay. We like what we do here and the people so much that after analysing the cost of our planned Alaska trip we have decided to return to Hazen Bay and do this all over again in 2009. We have seen the lake level come up 20 feet this year and hopefully it will rise that much next year and we will be able to see the bay full of water.
