Sometimes I go crazy

Oh, sure, in my previous blog post I hoped that the campground wouldn't get overrun with Memorial Day weekenders. Ew, people! So what do I do? I leave the still roomy campground in the mountains and go to Elephant Butte Lake State Park. Along with nearly everyone else in New Mexico.

A fraction of the mob camped along the shore

Awk, so many people! And their stuff! Boats. Personal watercraft. OHVs. Diesel 4x4s. Duce-and-a-Half trucks. Generators. Neurotic, untrained, yapping dogs. Music. Squealing, happy kids. People having a good time. EEEEWWWWW!!! 

But it's okay. My introversion needs the occasional break from solitude. I can be around people as long as I'm not surrounded by them. I have a spot to myself, back away from the shore. Besides, I need my water fix. Even if the water is filled with people zooming around for the sake of zooming around. Oh, and blissfully happy Labs and Retrievers.
