Displacing to Prewritt Reservoir SWA: Beach Time!

Sunday, August 3

A warm day, no rain and the breeze died by mid-morning.

A do nothing day as I thought about displacing tomorrow to check out a possible new camping area.

Temperature reached into the mid-80s but it wasn't too hot in the shade.

Sunset was cloudless but colorful:


Only one other side occupied tonight, a van camper with a telescope deployed for night sky viewing I think.

Monday, August 4

Beach time, or what passes as beach time here in northeastern Colorado. 

I displaced to the Prewitt Reservoir State wildlife Area (SWA) this morning shortly before 7:30 a.m. and by 11:30 a.m. I had done a grocery run in the town of Sterling and then  had set up camp at a spotlight of water at the reservoir. 

I'm actually at a small bay of the reservoir but you get the idea.






Then to Camp Host showed up:


Then some of the locals showed up as well: 

3x, scaled up ( optical)

5x zoom (digital)

10x zoom (digital)

For now, I've lost the use of the telephoto lens I have for the Sony a6000; since the a6000 is deadlined due to a malfunctioning shutter. 

In my mind not a big deal, as I have been using the Samsung S24+ phone camera sense about the middle of the European trip this spring.

It's supposed to get into the mid to upper 90s today, presently 88° f according to the RV thermometer.

No watercraft on the reservoir but taking a dip to cool off is quite permitted.
