| Arrow Rock State Park, Missouri. May 2018. |
I'm a bit of a camping Goldilocks, perhaps, in that I don't want to camp when it's too cold and I don't want to camp when it's too hot.
The first weekend in May was a splendiferous time for my first Missouri camping foray this year.
I chose Arrow Rock State Park. I've been there before. I like that the state park is tucked up against the village of Arrow Rock, and it's pleasant to poke around town.

| Cold coffee fixings, Arrow Rock State Park, Missouri. May 2018. |
To keep things super easy for me, I decided not to cook a damn thing. Not even coffee. Whoa, wait a minute! Not that I'd do without coffee, for God's sake! Nope, I'd bring my favorite instant coffee, some sweetener, a flavored creamer, and shake it all up in cold water each morning. Damn good stuff.

When I arrived at the campground, I nabbed the second to the last available campsite. Hoo-wee, that was lucky! The Audubon Society was hosting a weekend birding event, so I got there in the nick of time. I saw a lot of big-rig camera gear. Impressive.
I took several walks over the weekend.

One of the coolest things I saw was this tree being consumed by beaver bites.

I had the thought to record morning birdsong at my campsite and see about adding that to a slide show for my youtube channel. Below is my result:
