This is what's going on on the other side of the trees from our rv park. It's called Dropitcanya music festival. What it is, is like 20-30 dj's playing music really, really, really loud for some young people to dance to. It lasts 3 days and nights and by nights, I mean from 10:00 am today until 4:00 am the next morning. Yes, it goes on all day and all night. You want to know what it sounds like? Think about every car that ever pulled up beside you on the highway with their speakers blaring with a loud bass sound. That's it exactly. Only it never ends. It has been going on for two days and this makes the second night. Oh no! What am I hearing now? Yes, thank you Lord. It's pouring down rain! I'm sorry for the young people next door who are all outside in the elements because it's just an open field they're in, but tonight, we old folks sleep.
Seriously, it was so loud with just that same "boom boom boom boom boom" beat that we considered getting a hotel room for tonight and tomorrow. But we knew the rain was supposed to come so we were just trying to wait it out. It may not shut them down, but the rain will drown out their loudness from bothering us, I hope. Oh yeah, that rain sound is so welcoming. Also, I have ear plugs for tonight if we need them.
It's been a few days since I last posted. What have we been doing? Mostly, just walking, riding our bicycles and working around our camp-site. We did go shopping for shorts yesterday and today, Mike found us a grill on Craigs list over in Ft. Myers and we bought it and brought it back. It's a nice gas grill hardly used. We didn't want to bring one and we didn't want to buy one new. It worked out great. When we leave here, we will probably donate it to someone else.
Okay, I guess that's enough loud music cartoons. The rain has eased up and we can hear them loud and clear. Sounds just like a loud car stereo with the bass booming over and over and over. These cartoons represent some of the things we have thought about doing today. Their quiet time is from 4:00 am until 10:00 am when they start up again. Can you believe it? It's like we're in disco hell.
You have to love Gary Larson.
Mike and Melanna saying Good Night. If you can't beat them, join them. Hope you get some sleep. It is doubtful here.
