For the first time since we set up camp at the Elk run Campground at Sylvan Lake State Park, the wind gave us a break earlier in the day. Hence an al fresco lunch today.

what a beautiful campground. looks a bit familiar. we're you here before?
Two to Travel No … first time … it would be especially beautiful in the fall.
Oh, it sounds breathtakingly beautiful and remote! Unfortunately, I'd have to be using my O2 24/7 at that elevation and moving like a slug to boot. How wonderful that you have the ability to dry camp in that lovely camper without skipping a beat! We have neither solar panel or generator for our trailer, so we are always looking for electricity at least. Have a wonderful journey! [Diana]
Two to Travel We installed the solars ourselves so that we could dry camp and boon dock.
