We were getting pretty hungry and a little grouchy. We stayed pretty grouchy while we had difficulty finding Lake Minitare where we were to camp out for the next nine days. We decided to pay as we went. We chose a site close to the bathrooms and showers that was on a peninsula jutting out towards the middle of the lake. There were hardly any other campers around.
Tall trees grow out of the murky shallow water by our site.
Across the road there was open field. I was already getting bitten by mosquitoes. I couldn't see how I was going to stay there for nine days. I tried calling the girls three times that day with no answer. We had walked down to the tip of the peninsula to use the pay phone by a lighthouse and a marina.
