White Oak Creek.. Eufaula, Al

First stop will be here at White Oak Creek Corp of Engineers campground just outside Eufaula, Al. We'll stay through Memorial Day since finding almost any place we'd like over the holiday weekend at this late date would probably be an effort in futility. We're on the hill overlooking the river in one of their 2 first come sections. There were 5 spots left, all hilltop, when we arrived. I am betting only 1 or 2 remain now, so guess it was good we made ourselves just leave this morning and get on the road 

Since this is a COE park, all sites are nice, but some are favorites and very hard to secure.  Hilltop sites are initially less desired, not being on the water, but they are heavily treed and get more breeze so am hoping that means less bugs. The knats are definitely out in force, even if mosquitoes aren't apparent and there are, of course, ants. We're trying our ThermaCell mosquito repellent systems, so hopefully they'll help with knats and we've done what we can to deter ant invasions.

Set up was faster than I thought it'd be in the trailer since we have to remove the sway hitch system, but I was pleasantly surprised that there was absolutely nothing that needed doing inside, since we'd done so much storage enhancement earlier. That meant I could help Bruce with the rug, chairs, little table and make adult beverages while he tended to the preventative measures and hooked up amenities. We are, of course, still on fast time (EDT), even though we've moved into central, so adult beverages we're probably earlier than usual.
