I've been on backroads for two days. It has been fun and beautiful. Except it seems like tailgating is a thing here. And, guess what? The trees are already changing. Not a lot but just a hint of fall.
I am enjoying blue skies, and moderate temperatures. Yesterday I stayed at artist's home. She told me about a good swimming lake. I spent most of my time there. Her place was close to road and noisy. I sat in the sun, swam and even saw eagles. I got up this morning and drove back to the lake and had my coffee there and went for another swim.
So....now I am at an alpaca farm. My host greeted me in golf cart and showed me around the place. I have a lovely spot to camp..even a stocked fire ring with wood. (and an outhouse..which is such a treat believe it or not)
Here are some alpaca facts for you
- they are a member of llama family and even giraffes
- they don't have top teeth..only back molars and bottom..see funny photo
- these are all males..sexes don't mix except for mating
- their necks are very strong
- they all have different haircuts in this bunch..one looks like a poodle!
- great wool..which wicks moisture and keeps warm

| So cute!! |
I bought some wool here for my pal Karen who is a good knitter. I am trying to knit but my fingers are STILL numb and it is hard.
I have a great camp spot. It is on grass next to a pond and has a fire ring all stocked with wood.
