Gotta admit, camping in the snow is pretty.


This is Federal Dam COE, MN after a late winter storm 2008. The CG was not even open yet but the rangers let us in before the storm since we had nowhere else to go, turned on power for us, no water, then said bye bye & left for the weekend asking us to close the gate again if we got out before they returned on Monday.
Well...Friday to Monday we had the whole park to ourselves. Good thing we had plenty water & 3 electric heaters. Nice & toasty.
