The Belknap Turners Go Camping

Looking for an opportunity to camp in our new RV before the summer closes and fall activities begin, we got lucky with a final minute reservation -- the last available site -- at Yankee Springs State Recreation Area, on Gun Lake. Packing, then driving an hour southwest, pulling into the site, we were setup in no time and swimming soon after.

This trip's purpose was to familiarize ourselves with the workings of the rig before our planned big trip next summer, and the whole endeavor proved successful. The refrigerator and freezer worked cold and flawlessly, the stovetop boiled water, the microwave reheated coffee, and we slept with just the vents and windows open on Friday, but the air conditioner blowing freezing cold Saturday night. Another nice feature included the space to unwind, stretch out, or change one's own scenery as you're traveling. A quick cleanup and loading later, departure this morning from the campground was quick: overall, a comfortable success. Thanks Jeff for the ignition work.
