Coolspring Power Museum
Packing Up, Saying Goodbye
Silent Sunday
In one of Xyra's favorite movies, The Trouble with Angels, the school observes Silent Sunday. That's pretty much a good way to describe Coolspring on the last day of the season. The last of the volunteer RVs are pulling out, the big vehicles are being tucked into the buildings for the winter, and everyone is packing up to head home.Since the food court packs up and leaves on Saturday, our group heads out to Punxy Phil's for breakfast.
After breakfast we headed back to the museum grounds to finish taking down the tent and packing up to go home.
Overnight we had a lot of wind and rain, but no snow. Although, it did seem cold enough for it. So when we started taking down the tent, Xyra was surprised the fly and vestibule section was dry. So were the blankets. The space heater really made a big difference and not just for sleeping. The tent bottom and ground cloths were wet, so those were stored in separate trash bags for the trip home.
After packing the truck it was time to load up and hit the road. Tatlo was eager and hopped in before I did.
Bye, Coolspring! Looking forward to seeing you again!

What a darling photo of Kaya and Tatlo in the truck ready to head for home. Yes, it is always sad to leave a place where friends gather and work and/or play together.

Sounds like you and your group plus dolls had a fantastic vacation. I don't go on vacation often but my favorite trip with Niagara Falls though I miss camping with my Dad in Virginia doing Civil War re-enactments. Always rained or snowed and 5 days in a tent wasn't always the best accommodations but great fun. Cooking over a fire was one of my favorite parts.
ReplyDeleteThat is one thing...cooking over a campfire. We get the tent experience, but don't have a camp fire. There are a couple of fire rings but no one cooks over it, just for heat and fun. Oh, we did have s'mores in June or last October.
