Nice sunny morning, 57 inside 49 outside.
Most of the day in camp and it was a warm day. Nice thing about mountains is it cools off at night!
They brought in two sani-cans today. So this weekend is officially a “Two Shitter” weekend.
Later in the evening I found out this is the trail rider’s horse weekend. Since we have been coming to Ranger Creek we have three levels:
Four Shitter – bike riders
Eight Shitter – 50k runners
Two Shitter – horse riders, this weekend should also include an additional trailer.
The garbage left behind in this camp area is not to bad. Their are individual groups who make a significant mess while they are here, litter, toilet paper and horse shit. Some campsites are full of glass most don’t.
Somewhere I read the state is going to repaint the runway this summer. In the middle of the runaway it say’s “RANGER CREEK” and the ends are painted the runway’s compass reading. The interesting think about the compass degrees is you can tell they were painted once while the governor was a democrat and once when we had a republican. The north end says 15 and 17, for compass reading of 150 degrees and 170 degrees. I think the 15 was put down first ( I’ll have to check on this tomorrow ).
A state truck and one state employee got here about 7:30 and then four other people ( more than likely private contractors ). Maybe two people for the numbers and two people for the letters.
They measured the existing numbers and left at 10:00. Why two trips to paint a simple job.
By the way the airstrip is at 150 degrees magnetic.
Got to 91 degrees today.
