Another season has ended

We have finished another season of camping. We end every season with our Halloween Camp with family and friends. Had five families camping and another group who showed up for dinner and trick or treating. All together, about 40 people, somewhat smaller crowd than years past.
It is my favorite weekend all year. I believe it is my 3 YO granddaughters favorite weekend too. Her and I walked up to the showers about 7:30am Sunday and she said "Mum, I'm ready for next years Halloween Camp. How long do I have to wait?"
It makes me happy that both my granddaughters love to camp. Their mama isn't a huge fan and my 16 YO loves it as much as I do, but with her job and marching band filling her summers, her time is limited. I now have the next generation to enjoy it with and couldn't be happier!!

    Darn it! I'm hauling the trailer down to the dump station today and winterizing the rig when I get back. Our plans to head to the Oregon coast this weekend are off due to a pretty large storm in the NW, so I guess this year is over.
    We just got a new fifth wheel, had issues with it, got them fixed, and were looking forward to a quick trip. Who knows---there might be a hole in the weather patterns and we could scoot out for a few days later on the winter.
    In the mean time, we're making plans for 2017! Can't wait. See ya out there.

    Heading to Gettysburg KOA for what has become a family tradition of Halloween camping. We started pulling other people in and now have seven families going. Pretty much have a loop to ourselves.

    This is the first year we're only doing one weekend in October due to the kid's sports schedules. We usually try a new place on the other weekend. Hope to get back to that. There really isn't a better time of year to be out!

    Yep. Out here in the West, the party continues. No first snow to worry about. At least not in the SW.

    My last trip will be Thanksgiving week. I'll have to stop and dewinterize on the way down to the CA desert, and then winterize on the way back. But I am so looking forward to it!
