4th of July
Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2008 12:08 pmWe picked up Oliver on the 4th.
The first site that we stopped at was Hawk Creek. It is a beautiful site however it was full and we pressed on. We made it to the last spot in Hunters. It was a strange time since this was the largest group that I have been around camping in a very long time. There was kids having water fights. Multiple groups doing team camping. A couple of tiny trailers and us with our new Mobi. My wife ended up giving all of the neighbors a tour.
The set up was stupid easy. The toughest thing about the whole experience was backing into the spot and I ended up cheating by unhitching and pushing Oliver into the space. We got our first booboo on the hatch and I have to figure out how to put the best patch on her.
We then made it up to Gifford and took the Ferry across. Headed up North and camped at Swan Lake. (It's South of Republic.) It was a bit of a chore to find the camp sites because the locals have taken down most of the signs however it is worth it. The Loons sang their songs and the squirrels and chimpmunks where everywhere. The camp host Eddy has been camping there since the 60s. We even had icecream when some locals stopped by with their truck.
