Ah!!! This is more like it! The KOA campground was a lucky find for us, not many choices at 5:30 PM on Friday night in summer near a large metro area. But it was a typical KOA with RVs packed in like sardines, noisy, no privacy. Our neighbor’s slide out was 3’ away from our slide out, and they kept their damned radio on until 11 PM. We spent 2 nights there before moving to Bunker Hills, where we stayed last summer.
.
Here, our campsite is separated from adjoining sites by 200’ or more, with plenty of trees in between. We’ll spend 3 nights here before heading east across Wisconsin and Michigan to our next major site, Niagara Falls. Trish has never been; I’ve seen it a couple times.
.
There’re lots of paved bike paths in the park and adjoining communities. Trish is gone on a bike ride to check them out. Later today we hope to pick up our first batch of forwarded mail, do some shopping and have lunch with my sister, Marge, who lives in Roseville, a suburb of St Paul. Weather permitting, we’ll have a campfire tonight and grill salmon over the fire.

Our family reunion body count was 47, the largest ever I think. I come from a large family, have long since lost count of how many offspring in subsequent generations. We are quite a diverse group but a great sense of humor is one thing we all have in common. Our reunions are a riot. It would be nice to see them more often but my wanderlust and independent nature - not to mention my aversion to cool, humid climates (and bugs!) - demands I live some distance away.
Sounds like you ended up in a great place, finally. Are the mosquitoes bad there this year?
ReplyDeleteIt was smart of you to move to a warm climate so your frozen relatives will come to seek you out in the cold months. A good plan if you want to spend time together. The best of both worlds.
Skeeters aren't too bad but Trish got a couple bites. They like her a lot!
