Tall, cool pines...

I arrived at Cool Pines RV campground on May 2nd, dropped off Tiny Trailer, and headed to Amarillo, to see my daughter in a musical. I returned on the 10th, and have been here for a bit over a week, now.
Cool Pines is located on US Hwy 82, about 12 miles east of Cloudcroft, NM. and about 5 miles west of Mayhill, NM.  The sites are spread out over 15 acres, and there are about 37 sites altogether, but are scattered up and down the hillside,...not "parking lot" style at all. My site is about 35 feet wide, and about 30 feet deep, which is dandy for Tiny Trailer, but too short for some of the bigger rigs that are here. 
It's early in the season (they don't open until May 1st), but so far, it seems like a lot of people bring their 5th wheels trailers up here and leave them for the summer, and come up on several weekends. (seems like a poor utilization of resources to me, but it's their money...)
The surroundings are beautiful, and it is indeed, "Cool". Most mornings are in the high 30's to low 40's and the daytime highs are low 60's. Lots of pine and oak forest, and LOTS of hummingbirds. I'll have to get a nectar feeder. There is an activity room, with wifi available , but no good reception up the hill.
It has rained some since I've been here, but not enough to make me whine...yet.
I will be here until mid-September-to maybe the first of October, depending on the weather.
