4 Wheeling

 Stopping for Lunch by.....


The  Lake


We got pretty far until we came across this,  and decided that it was a good point to turn around and head back.

Still Snow

 Lots of Snow up on top of Skyline Drive.

 Don't think we will be able to camp up there anytime soon.  Maybe by the end of June or beginning of July.

But it sure was beautiful up there.

And We're off

 Finally took the trailer out for a test drive, or more like a "test camp"

 We decided to go someplace close,  and Crystal Springs fit the bill.

 Was pretty easy to get set up.  We had a nice spot, with all the hook-ups.

 We tried foil dinners.... we almost got it right.  Was a little over cooked, but when your starving who cares?

But the best part about the trip was the Hot Springs.  We all slept good that night!

Cleaning the Pond (water feature)
 First we take out the Little fishes,  and put them in a bucket with a bubbler.

 Then we power wash the rocks and sides of the pond.

 The filtering system is, is .....well its way disgusting!  It gets this way in the winter because it's to cold to clean it and it would stress out the fish.  (yes fish get stressed,  so I was told by the lady at the fish store!)
 Finally a clean pond.  well semi-clean anyway.

 A new Clean filtering system.

 Then you fill the pond back up.  Looks and smells so much better.

And put the fishes Back in.   A nice clean pond for a couple months anyway.  It used to take a half day to do the cleaning,  but now we have it down to a couple hours.

Nudist Ranch

Too Funny!  

Went for a ride the other day to scout some camping spots,  and came across a nudist ranch.  Luckily we didn't come across any campers!  Part of me wishes we would have!  Because I could use a good laugh.
