We used to take more road trips in the summer, but that was when we had to travel this time of year. It is nice to avoid the busy travel season as much as we can. It is hot and typically very crowded especially if you like to camp. The Internet allows folks to book ahead of time in national parks and this makes it nearly impossible to just go when you want. Most parks have a 48-hour cancellation policy so there is little penalty for making a reservation just in case. The sites with hookups (electrical, water, and sewer) go first. I have reached the age at which I don't sleep on the ground anymore. Our location for the next few days has electrical and wifi (actually television too, but I can get by with just wifi) so we are in good shape for these short stays.
This seems a great location. Washburn is very close and a nice tourist town. A couple of coffee shops, a great bakery (above), and some artists. It is a small community so things are not out of hand when it comes to tourism, but a very nice place. I assume every lakeshore community in this area is similar. Just right.
I have posted pictures of our rPod several times before, but I don't remember showing what the inside of the camper looks like. If you can imagine me sitting on a short queen bed taking this picture, you should have a sense of the size of our camper. We have a television/video system, shower/toilet (on the left), table/couch/second bed (on the right), and a kitchen area with fridge, microwave, two-burner stove and sink. This is a nice setup for two people. We looked at larger rigs, but wanted something we could pull with a four-wheel drive suv allowing us to unhook get around pretty much as if we were travelling by car. We pay $28 per night which seems reasonable. Did I mention we have WiFi?
