Carlyle Lake, Boulder Campground, Boulder Illinois



Carol wanted to go camping this weekend at Carlyle Lake. We did not have reservations, we just left Thursday morning to see what we could find. The spot we took was ok but not along the lake like Carol wanted. They were all taken.



We had a good time and we did a lot of bike riding. It was a little warm in the afternoons. It's the middle of August, what did we expect.



It was good to just relax and take it easy. I ate good too, Carol made some awesome food.





Yesterday the weather looked like it could be a problem, big storms. Carol said maybe we should pack up and go home. I told her we couldn't run everytime the weather looked bad. We are both a little concerned after our previous experiences.


This morning at 12:30 AM we woke to big thunder storms and heavy rain. It lasted an hour but the Aliner did ok. We woke up again at 5:00 to heavy rain.

After breakfast I told Carol I was ready to head for home. I don't think she was ready yet but it was going to be another hot day.





The GMC Terrain did good, 18.8 MPG towing and only used a half tank going to Carlyle and back.
We are not sure when our next trip will be, too many things going on.
