It is Easter weekend and the park is full. Since the crowd here this weekend is not the normal crowd that stays here, some things are very different. Folks that only rarely come to this campground have brought their motorcycles, vehicles equipped with loud stereos playing music of a type and at a volume that makes even distant listeners hate them, many nighttime garish and blinding lighting arrays but also the sound many happy folks laughing and kids having a great time. The spas and pools are getting workouts.
On the south side of the road here at Pio Pico not one empty RV space is available. Over on the north side of the road where there are no sewer hookups and typically few RVs, the campground is also pretty full. We have not stayed here previously when as many people were out enjoying the fantastic spring weather. San Diego County received a reasonable amount of rain this year, ending a 10-year drought. The result of the rain is a display of vibrantly colored flowers, waist-deep grass in the pastures and emerald green, happy trees. Driving around here is now a very scenic event which is nice because the traffic is shit.
