Crowded campgrounds! Especially in resort areas. We headed today for The Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area with our eye on the Army Corps of Engineers Canal Campground near Grand Rivers KY. Of the 110 campsites here all 108 reservable sites are taken for this weekend after the 4th of July. Luckily we had our choice of either of the two Walk-In sites. We chose #18 and paid for three nights but we have the option of extending our stay to a max of fourteen nights!  On our walk around this evening we began to surmise that many of the campers are families that come here the same week or two weeks every year and have created somewhat of a summer camp atmosphere. There’s quite a few white DIY 5 gallon bucket lanterns. The primary mode of transportation is golf cart, even on the roads outside the park! But we have to say we’re enjoying our little quiet dark corner of the camp!
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
