CAMPING AT WOODWARD
(September 2012)
It's been many years since we've camped at Woodward Reservoir; it's been so long ago, that I actually don't remember when we were there last.
I went up Thursday morning, and visiting it again, to me, seemed like very little had changed. The only difference I saw was that T-Island had full-hookups for RVs, and the undeveloped area had barriers and signs about
20 feet from the lake water. The signs indicated that you couldn't park
a vehicle or put up a tent within approximately 20 feet from the water.
We wouldn't be able to set up our tents together at T-Island as we liked to do, so I elected to find a spot at the undeveloped sites. I found a fairly good spot in the Mountain View area were
we used to camp. I found it almost full, but located the next best spot were we could camp together and still have some shade from the sun by some trees.
Below are some pictures

 |
| My motorhome and car; Paul's van and Tatiana's tent before more people came. You can barely see the posts indicating that you cannot park or camp beyond. |

| Having fun in the water |
 |
| That's Paul and Tatiana |
 |
| Tatiana and her friend. That's Paul's sailing board (he didn't bring the sail). They spent quite a bit of time playing in the water together |
 |
| Candy and Charla putting up Charla's Tent. Candace's tent on on the right |

| There! It's all done. |

 |
| Boy, they could pass for twins. That's Tatiana on the right. |
|
 |
| Good picture of Charla! |
 |
| That's a good picture of Candy too. Candy? |
 |
| Mark showed up and putting his tent up |
 |
| Now how do I make it upright? On the right? Oh, that's Mark; Charla on left - helping. |
 |
| It's Up!! |
 |
| WOW!! Candy poured a little wine in her humungous wine glass. She didn't fill it, because she would have to use two hands to hold it. ;-} |
 |
| Careful there, don't spill any! That's Lisa in the right background. |
 |
| Lisa, Candy, and Renee. |
 |
| Campsite's filling up! |
 |
| Relaxing in the shade of the tree |
 |
| Where's everyone? Down by or in the water, of course! |
 |
| Mark on Paul's bike! |
 |
| To refresh your memories - that's the bathrooms near the entrance to the Mountain View campsites. |
 |
| Looking towards the opposite side where we used to camp. |
 |
| The center area is even full |

| I recognize Candy, and I think that may be Charla on her left. END! | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
