Day 32- Liz 328.5

Woke up to mist and overcast. The weather report shows us heading into rain so guess what? Zero day, and it turned out to be an incredible for us. We're at the Silverlake campground and this morning we headed to the nature center to get warm and get out of the miserable weather. The docent David Perez couldn't have been nicer. Not only did he make coffee for us he had numerous stories he told us about this area and he took us to an area to watch Ospreys nest. He's quite the photographer. If your ever in this park please stop by and say to David.
The good luck continued, as we sat at our campsite acouple of park maintenance people came over and asked if we wanted a FREE shower. Had someone complained of our smell? Of course we took them up on the offer and they gave us small towels and body soap. The only problem with the shower was that my had only cold water while Melinda's had only hot. I was shivering and she was scalded. What happened next only proves that God works in mysterious ways. We came out of the showers and was greeted by friends of Melinda's from home who tracked us down. Had we left this morning they would never have found us. They took us to a laundromat to dry our clothes then to a cafe for lunch. I've been craving BLTs and the one I had today was awesome. Gene and Elaine then drove us up to Crestline to see their rustic cabin. Elaine's grandfather built it in three days in 1921. What a great day we had making new friends and the kindness that has been bestowed on us.
