Best camping memories
On the flip side of the post about camping altercations, what are some of your most fond memories from camping? There are too many to count really, but here are a few: My oldest son learned how t...

Here is another e-mail from 2008 that I sent to my friend.
I went to the demo derby with the Schroder kids on Saturday night and stayed at the casino in my camper.They have a nice shower a the casino campground but, there was a family using the shelter near it. So, I took a shower in my little camper. They have a full water hook up there and a dump station drain you can dump into while your parked at each spot. If you use the newer section of the park they also have cable TV hook up and wireless internt acess. I figured I didn't need the cabel TV and internet and I like the old park better so I stayed in it and saved myslef 5 bucks. I get 5 channles on TV using my little antenne anyway. I did a lttle gambling but, I'm not a big gambler so I gor to bed about midnight.
It rained Sunday morning. I was sleeping during the first storm and didn't care to much. When the second storm started to rumble I decided to get moving. I always get a kick out of the fact that I have this little camper in the park setting next to these big behemoth campers that cost more then your house. When it comes time to leave I can pack up and get going faster than any one else there. I then when to Wall mart to get some things and went to McDonalds for dinner. The McDonalds in Redwood Falls has a lot next to it for RV and truck parking. I pulled in there had my dinner in the camper and took a little nap until the rain quit. Then I went to Ramsey park.
Redwood falls has the largest city park of any city in MN. It's on the river and I forget how many acres it has, a few hundred or so. I went through the zoo. There were Antelope, bison, ducks and other things. There were several different types of chickens there. There was one type that had a smaller rooster. He was crowing but, it was awful. His crowing was so high pitched it was like fingernails on a chalk board. Never get one of those. There were some peacocks and some ugly bird that I don't know the name of there too. I took a bunch of pictures and will send them to you if you want.
I went hiking across the suspension bridge that sways . Also I hiked to many of the lookouts perched high over the valley . I must have hiked about 5 miles. (I got lost and couldn't find my way back to my pickup. lol ) Saw some hawks teaching there young one how to eat. A doe and two fawns walked out just a few feet in front of me and never knew I was there. I was going to catch one but, thought better of it. There used to be a hiking trail there with exercise equipment along it. Most of that has fallen into disrepair. ( I hate it when people let that happen) The pull up bars are still there. I did 7 pull ups. (Of course I jumped from the ground first to get moving and took a break between each one. But, I won't tell if you don't.)
Redwood Falls is only about 35 miles north of me.
