Scamp Photo Album 2017
Pilot Knob State Park, IA, April 13-16
(Click Thumbnails for Larger Picture)
Chomping at the bit to get out this year, but we
made it Easter weekend. Tried to get out
earlier, like March, but that did not work. We
had a good time and the Scamp helped us with the
chilly weather. Well, chilly except for
Sunday, the day we went home that is.

Pulpit Rock Campground, Decorah IA, April 22 - 24
(Click Thumbnails for Larger Picture)
This
was our first trip camping to Decorah, Iowa, and we
found a lovely city campground called Pulpit Rock.
We arrived, in the middle of the night, "blind" (no
reservation), but we found a good site. First
one had an issue with the electrical, but the
campground people helped us find another site with
working electric. One of the reasons I really
love the Scamp. Even if you don't have an
electric hookup, it's no problem, boondocking works
really well.

Dolliver State Park, IA May 5 - 7

Camping at Dolliver State Park with friends and
family. We missed the trip here last year
because we were up along the North Shore of Lake
Superior. Very beautiful weekend with
wonderful weather. Kept the windows open and
enjoyed a nice gentle breeze all weekend.

Wyalusing
State Park, Wisconsin, July 4, 2017

Back
to our usual Forth of July spot, Wyalusing State
Park in Wisconsin. Beautiful long weekend,
with wonderful weather. Only had to use the AC
a couple of times in the warmest part of the day,
otherwise, a very wonderful trip. Even really
enjoyed the new, redesigned, bed that was first
conceived on this trip last year.

Wallace State Park, Missouri, July 14 - 16, 2017
We
took another trip to Wallace State Park in Missouri
this year, and I really do enjoy the park. We
have stayed here a couple of times, while we are
attending activities outside the park, but yet
nearby. I am planning next year to spend a
little more time in the park exploring the trails,
and maybe even taking in the nice little swimming
hole they have. One thing I really do enjoy
about our Scamp, especially in July in Missouri is
the air conditioning unit. It may not be
"camping", but it make the trip much more
pleasurable.

Pilot Knob State Park, August 4 - 6, 2017
We
spend the weekend in Pilot Knob State Park, a short
jaunt from home, but a chance to get away for a bit.
The Scamp continues to work well as it was easy to
set up here, could pull in from the side, and it fit
into the divot in the campsite quite well.
Still needed to use the front step, but it is
strange stepping into the camper at a downward
angle.

Macintosh Woods State Park, IA September 1 - 4
(Click Thumbnails for Larger Picture)
We
spent another Labor Day weekend in Macintosh Woods
State Park in Iowa. The site was a bit small,
but the Scamp fit really well. Also, just a
note, always keep a 50 foot extension cord in your
gear when camping. Sometimes, sites, like this
one, have an electrical box that is shared by two
different sites and the cord that comes with the
Scamp just will not reach. You can see the
electrical box at the end of the picnic table.

Merrick State Park, WI September 8 - 10
(Click Thumbnails for Larger Picture)
We
finally got back to Merrick State Park in Wisconsin.
We wanted to get back last year, but ended up not
having the time. Also, since I have not posted
pictures of the inside lately, I thought I would
show examples of the view from our wonderful Scamp.
With the raised bed, large front window, and screen
door, our views are wonderful outside the camper.
I
also looked at wind generators this weekend as an
augmentation to the solar panels. I found a
Coleman unit, but I want to do a little research
before purchasing and wiring into the Scamp. I
will post the results once I get to that point.
