Our first trip in the books

   This should be the final post from our first camping trip in Carlton the camper.

The weekend of May 14 thru 16, we camped at Buckhorn State Park in Necedah. We’d driven through the campground a year or so ago and had picked out a couple of contenders for sites if we ever camped there. Site #105 hadn’t made the short-list then, but we also didn’t have a 26 plus foot trailer.

At that time, we only had our dear pop-up camper. Who knew that the first time we would camp here, that our son would join us in that pop-up which he inherited from us?

The only thing about our son being there is that he brings bad weather with him where ever he goes. We made the best of the cool, cloudy, damp weekend.

And Dino never cares how wet he gets.

I had wanted to hike more of the trails within the state park, but time and weather were not on my side. Hence the saying, there’s always next time.

Site #105, right across from the bathroom turned out to work just fine for us. Especially since we ran out of water in our tank by the first morning. Had I mentioned that here before? Just bad planning on my part. Also, that’s why we planned our first trip for a single weekend. We’ll be ready for our first full week camping later this summer. I cannot wait!
