I am so glad you are here too Diane. I hope you do post more, it's wonderful to have your perspective from across the pond! I mean that very affectionately too!
I am back at the lake with Gary for the weekend. The weather is just glorious. We roasted weenies and made s'mores over the campfire last night. The weather was just perfect. I posted some pics on FB, I can't post pics here from my iPad. Hopefully I will remember to post them from my computer when I get home. The wildflowers are absolutely glorious this year. The only problem is that the tall grasses are so tall that sometimes you can't see the wildflowers. I will try to take some pics and post them next week.
We had to move the trailer and dump our holding tanks this morning. That is usually an adventure, but everything went smoothly. We don't have sewer hookups at our campsite. Gary has been here for three weeks and so the tanks were full. We have this little blue 20 gallon tank on wheels that you can dump your holding tank into and then pull it tot the dump station with the pickup (so you dont actually have to move the trailer like we did) We didn't bring it out here so we had to move the whole trailer which is almost as easy. We always have trouble with the portable dump tank. Some of our funniest trailer camping stories invole the little blue portable dump.
We talked awhile this morning with a couple who just bought their trailer and they are on their maiden trip. Yhey were fretting about making mistakes. We were telling them that we have been camping for 13 years and we still do silly things sometimes,
. Everyone does silly things when pulling, setting up, and camping in a trailer. It just happens.
