Mothers Day

The boys came over today and brought lunch. Then they took Carol to the Art Museum for the afternoon. Carol said she enjoyed the day.

Gathering Of A-Frames- Rend Lake

We just attended a nice weekend at Rend Lake, Illinois - North Sandusky Campground. The weather forecast was not very good. We arrived on Wednesday and I figured we would stay a day or two. We had rain, but most of it, was at night while we were sleeping. It turned out to be a very good event. We actually stayed until Sunday.

It was hard to get a good picture of the Aliners, we had a loop all to ourselves with large spaces between each other.

We enjoy these weekends because of the people that attend, the Aliners are secondary.

Here is our Chief John, aka The Monarch:

Random shots:

We played Games:

Some chopped wood:

We rode bikes on the very nice concrete bike trails. The only problem was the hills! I like flat terrain but it's hard to find.

Some people complained to us about being "trailer trash". I agree it was a little tacky but our window leaks and I took care of it for the weekend. Hopefully it will get fixed before the next event.

We had entertainment and ate good:

Of course we always have John's famous bonfires:

A freshly shed snake skin was found near a camper which upset a few. It was only about 5 foot long:

As always, we enjoyed this event very much.

Spring Cleaning

This weekend the weather was wonderful. I washed my Buick, Carol's car, the Aliner, my riding mower, the patio, the patio furniture, the whole house siding, etc. It was great to be outside and enjoying the sun.

Aliner still leaks!

I washed the Aliner and found the window still leaks. It's the large center window. I don't care. We are going camping in 11 days and if it rains I'll have trash bags and duct tape. Let it rain!

Easter

We had a nice family get together today. Always a good time.

Aliner leak test 2

No leaks so far. Of course it is just drizzling and the window that I was concerned about is dry.

Aliner leak test number 2

We are supposed to get rain tomorrow. I pulled the Aliner out of the garage and set it up. I plan on sitting in it during the rain to see what happens. The window has been resealed, hopefully that will take care of it. If not we will look elsewhere.

Spring is finally getting close
