Holy cow - we have found our MOST favorite SD campsite EVER.  It's Sheps Canyon, site 20.  Sits right on the water - has plenty of space - #itisperfect.  

We arrived late Friday night as I had a commitment on base to attend.  Didn't roll out of town until close to 1900 - arrived just as it was getting pitch black dark out.  But - set up is so easy in this thing.  Broke out the drill, put the stabilizers down, plugged in and went to bed.  Easy peasy.  Have spent almost the entire weekend reading.  Friend recommended book below-finsihed it up this afternoon - what a fantastic read.  Guess there is movie coming out next month with Matt Damon - glad we could read about it before paying 50 bucks to see it on the big screen.  

Sky has been very smokey past few days.  Lots of fires in Washington State and California.  Didn't bother us to much as the wind was terrible pretty much ALL day.  Blew 25-30 mph solid from sun up to sun down.  So we stayed inside and were lazy.  No issues what so ever.  I certainly needed its s I've worked the past 12 days in a row.  Karon pretty much did too as she was with me during the Air Show this past weekend.  This afternoon the sky cleared up quite a bit and now that the sun is down - it's not windy at all.  Definitely cooling down though.  We may have to try the furnace tonight for reals.  

We are REALLY enjoying the new tow vehicle.  It has been a welcomed addition to our outings - in camping and in general use.  Ironically the last time we were at THIS camp ground we got $8200 worth of damage to our Highlander.  Thankfully the only thing we endured was wind this trip.  

Really starting to love this little camper.  It's so super functional at every level.  We realize we do miss the dogs a lot (we've only taken them on two trips).  Lola sure needs to learn how to pee anywhere other then our backyard.  Lord help us if we decide to go cross country and take them.  Poor girl is gonna have MEGA issues...or she'll just get it and start going.  :)
