Another early start for the year.  We decided to try a different site this time, pull thorough that is, instead of the regular back in.  The site also had fresh gravel laid which was really nice.

Second week back at Pilot Knob State Park.  Just a quiet weekend getaway again.  I ended up using the a pull through site again since I was by myself and had recently undergone back surgery to correct a disk issue. 

For the third outing of the year, we decided to head to Dolliver State Park in Iowa.  We had a good over view of the Des Moines River that was overflowing the banks and through the park.

For the Forth of July, we made it back to Wyalusing State Park in Wisconsin.  This was the maiden voyage for the new transmission for the truck.  Back in June, on a trip down south with our family, the first day of the trip, we ended up having to leave the truck for repairs when the transmission failed.  Unfortunately, we had to leave the camper behind as well because we could not get a rental that would allow us, or had the capability, to tow the Scamp.  Thankfully, our family had room in their camper for us and the trip continued, minus the Scamp. 

Of course, what is camping without camping buddies?  Willie, the cat, joined our team the year before, and Sammy was still happy to be camping with us.  Well, as long as we are around, he is happy anywhere.

Labor Day found us back at Pilot Knob State Park with family.  This year, the campground was extremely full as compared to the past few years that we camped here.  It is nice to have a small camper that allows us to utilize our space much more efficiently. 

For the fall trip, we went back to Temperance River State Park in Minnesota.  It was a beautiful site with a view of the lake just across the road.  Just an FYI, make sure you reserve yours sites as soon as possible as the sites fill up fast.
