I have no problem when it comes to common sense. I just don’t understand why it deserts me when talking to a beautiful woman. Never have figured that one out.
Maybe, maybe – the time to worry about doing that is when, like Chillie6, you get answers and as he comments, they make sense!! 
What, you mean to say you get answers and they also make sense!!

I only argue with myself if I am fairly certain I’ll win.

The sensible option then – nobody wants to be ‘a loser’,
metaphorically speaking that is!

So anyway, I drive about an hour and a half to get to the Arapaho Bay Park. I drive around the lake 3 times taking photos. It was about 1300 Zulu time, so I made to set up camp for the night. This lady in a golf cart with the cutest pit bull riding with her. She said “Hun, did you already pay for the night. I responded “No Ma’am, I didn’t see a kiosk anywhere.” She smiled and said that’s OK follow me in your car. She jumps in the golf cart and off we go. We pull up to one of those bulletin board signs, you know the kind it has a large map that says “You are Here” and shows the park. I’m wondering why are we here. She points to a little brown box, kinda like a mailbox. It’s nondescript brown no label or instructions. She reaches in and pulls out an envelop, then goes through this complicated procedure of this part is your receipt, this part needs to go in your vehicle window. Then she took my money and put it in what was left of the envelop seals it walks 4 feet to a nondescript brown pole with a slot and drops it in. The whole time my mind is screaming “You honestly expect people to figure this out, with no signage or instructions?” instead I said “I can’t believe I missed it.”(heavy on the sarcasm). She missed the sarcasm and said “Don’t worry I’ve had people standing right in front of it and missed it.” Now my mind is screaming “And that didn’t give you a clue?”. So now I’m looking at the pit bull like Really!? Pit bull(Grace was her name btw) is looking at me like “What she feeds me I’m not getting into this.”
So money paid I go back finish setting up my tent, and it starts raining. Not just a little I mean buckets. I’m thinking cool, it not supposed to last and I can get shots of raindrops, hanging on leaves and such. I had also planned on taking star photos. Rain didn’t stop. It let up a little now and then, occasionally the sun came back out. Then it darkened considerably, and started back up.
So here I am more than 100 miles from home sitting in my car watching a movie wearing headphones, waiting on the rain. The second day still raining. I got angry. I did not drive over 100 miles to watch movies and YouTube. So I packed up and came back. Gonna try again later. I really love that lake and can’t wait to practice some Long Exposure photography there. Funny side note my streaming worked OK,not great, but trying to get on OFF was worse than dial up and when I finally got to the new site I couldn’t find a way to sign in on my phone, which is OK considering how slow the connection was I doubt I could have posted.
Anyway here are some of the shots I did get:
This is when I first arrived

As you can see from the photos, the roads are mainly dirt. So 2 days of rain I have to go wash my Jeep today so I can tell what color it is.
