Around the campground

We're enjoying being at Thousand Trails Thunderbird near Monroe, Washington. On our walk on Tuesday...

We took a picture of the potholes which have now been filled! Carl had said on Monday (as we bounced through the pot holes), "Can't they fill the potholes? Or are they just reverse speed bumps to keep people from speeding?" But, on our walk, we saw that they had been fixed! Hurrah!!! (At least until the next rain storm!)

We stopped to examine some plants... a fern...

We saw a huge multi-trunked tree -- we've seen a few of these -- Carl is standing in front of it to give an idea of size. We called it an "Organ Pipe Cactus Tree" as it looks like the multiple arms of an Organ Pipe Cactus. We think it is growing out of the huge trunk of a cut-down tree.

It is quite covered with moss.

Ferns growing on a branch. It had great huge leaves that looked like maple leaves, but I couldn't get close enough to ask Google Lens about them --

... but we saw another one nearby where I could reach the leaves...

Google Lens took a look at the leaf...

... and said that it was a "Bigleaf Maple" -- what an appropriate name!

Meanwhile, back at the rig...

Carl prepared to install the new toilet we had purchased a few days ago...

... and just that quick, he was done!

Well, not quite that quick, but... it is done, and we're thankful!
