Lake Wissota State Park, WI

 Finally, we are going to try a little traveling. We skipped two trips to Europe because of the pandemic and have been reluctant to take our rPod on the road. Lots of folks are camping and campers have been selling very well. We wanted to find campsites within driving distance that did not require we stop at rest areas. We also had to be assured that we could be self-contained. It would be great if we could take full advantage of our rPod and use full hook-ups (electricity, water, and sewer). The popularity of camping means you have to reserve spots ahead of time and the liberal cancellation policy (two days before your registration) means it is very difficult to find a location even though school has started and most folks are back at work. We have reserved spots in a couple of State Parks and we will see from there.

We encountered minor difficulties in getting fully setup and have not had an opportunity to explore. The bridge was out a couple of miles from our destination and we had to drive around another half hour or so trying to find a way to get to our destination. Setup usually goes very well, but we had to insert a "core" in the water heater. It looks simple - just screw it in. It took about an hour because of corrosion or worn threads, but Cindy finally had the touch. Tomorrow we explore. This is a pretty area on the edge of a Wisconsin lake. We drove from our lake place in the forest to a park on a lake in the forest. I took a photo before I left that looks nearly identical to this photo. It is the principle of the thing. A little early for colorful leaves, but it just feels great to be on the road.
