Pine Lake State Park, IA May 10 - 12
(Click Thumbnails for Larger Picture)
This
was our first time to Pine Lake State Park in
Eldora, IA. Our usual plans for Dolliver State
Park had been cancelled due to highwater. But
it gave us a good chance to checkc this park out
with our family. Good trails and nice
facilities. Best of all, great weather.

Grant River Recreational Area June 6 - 9
(Click Thumbnails for Larger Picture)
We
spent our June vacation back at Grant River
Recreational Area again. We even got the same
site. This year it was a bit windy and stormy
at times, but it made the camping adventure even
more interesting. But Charlie didn't seem to
be bothered by it too much.
|
We
even had a bit of a tire issue before leaving,
unfortunately. The left side tire was
completely flat. Thankfully I had a portable
tire compressor and was able to re-inflate it for
the trip home. The interesting thing part was
the tire was low before going to Pine Lake, but when
we can back, and a week later before leaving for
Grant River, the tire was fine. Must have been
sitting just right to seal the leak when parked at
those two locations. Still can't figure out
how I got a nail in the tire when it doesn't really
"travel" like my other vehicles do.

Wyalusing State Park, WI June 30 - July 8
(Click Thumbnails for Larger Picture)
The
4th of July was back at Wyalusing again. I
love the park because of the views, the trails, and
no fireworks. Those have gotten to be a bit
much at home when it's not a holiday. I also
caught the water line of a storm moving by.
You can see it a bit in the second photo. And
of course, Charlie was living the Cat's life again.

My
minor little adventure this time started when I
pulled in on Friday night. It had just
finished raining and the spot I usually park the
trailer was a mud pit. I had to maneuver the
trailer around that, that's why it looks like it's
nearly parked in the bushes. Doing this, in
the dark, I lost part of my flashlight in the dark
and could not find it. I had Lisa bring the
nail pickup tool the next day when she came so I
could try to find it. Didn't find it that way,
but I discovered why the camper got a nail in the
tire. There is A LOT of sharp debris at
campsites I discovered.
|
Oh,
I did find the part I was looking for after I pulled
the trailer forward. It was right next to the
blocks on the left side just inside the tire.
It was just luck that it landed there because when I
first parked the trailer it was three feet to the
right of it's final location.
