Week 3 at Prince William Forest NP

We are coming to the end of week 3 here a Prince William Forest NP. We have not been that busy the last week because there have been no camper in our cabin camp. So we had have a lot of time to ride the fire roads and do a little hiking. I have also been doing a little work around the camp mostly painting the signs on the cabin and bath houses. We where able to take a little day trip to Skyline Drive and look around. We where hoping to see a black bear but did not get to see one on this trip. We will be having camper come back in this weekend so I spend the day today making sure the cabins where ready and getting things stocked up. Going to be a easy weekend campers only here for two days and there are only 4 of them in our cabin camp ( camp holds 150 people when full ).

We have been hearing reports of a black bear in the park and a lot of people have stated that they have seen signs of the bear but there has been no sighting of it yet. The park service is going to give us some trail cameras to put out so maybe we can a picture of it. There was a large Black Bear spotted in the park last year with two cubs, so we know they are around here some where. While we where in the back of camp today seeing it we could find and more signs of the bear Gwen spotted a Bobcat running in the woods, he was to fast for me to get a picture maybe next time. Hoping to get to walk a trail we found today that leads to a little lake not far from camp.

We will be leaving here to head back to Janes Island State Park on the 29th to host for the month of September and then we will be headed to Shad Landing State Park for the month of October. Hoping to get to do a little crabbing and fishing  and get back on my diet, I have been eating a little more than I should and might have gained a few pounds back so will have to work a little harder to take them back off. Life is a Bitch!
