Due to the bumper problem on the
first trip here, we again looked for a new camping spot. We found
a nice wooded spot about 1 1/2 mile past the Elkhorn Lake turnoff on FR
95. The site was well back into the trees, next to the North
River. We had difficulty maneuvering into the site, having to go around stumps
and trees. In one area I had to "bridge a low spot with the Lynx
Levelers to keep the bumper from bottoming out again!
It got so cold
Friday night that I turned on the furnace to warm the camper up (I guess it
was in the low 50's). Hard to believe in July!!
This was our
first trip with our Thetford Porta Potti and privacy tent. It worked
great! No more digging holes.
