Gunn Creek Campground, Rend Lake, IL

This was a Gathering of A-Frames event. Always a good time. Our first time at this campground. A nice place. 




We had one day and night with some rain but the rest of the time was great fall, cool weather. 









I found a nice bike path and while riding I saw this giant golf ball water tower.

We took so many shots of sunsets that it is hard to choose which ones to put on here. They were all great.







The pot luck was good too. Notice the sunset in the background.




Scott Barger took some cool shots with his drone. 












Always have good campfires too.





We had a great time and plan to add this campground to our schedule next year. 

This was our last camping trip this year. We will clean out and winterize the camper in the next couple of days until next year. We stayed in the camper 121 nights since April 04. 2015. We are looking forward to next year and we already have sites booked starting next April.

St. Louis Zoo

It was a nice sunny day and I said we should go to the zoo today. We haven't been there in years. 
It's a neat place. We did a lot of walking. 



















A very nice day

Electric Awning Support Poles

Our awning would flop around like crazy with just a small amount of wind. It was easy enough to just hit the button and retract the awning when the wind blew. The only thing was it was retracted more than I was able to use  it. I found on Forest River's forum several people had the same complaint. I also found a cure. Awning poles!  I was able to get a set of poles and brackets that permanently mount and can be deployed when needed. They work great.
