Covid Interruptions

 Our camping this year was very truncated due to Covid-19. We managed some short trips and one long vacation.

In June we managed one trip to Wisconsin at Wisconsin Riverside Resort in Spring Green, WI. This is a private campground with pool, restaurant and mini-golf. The sites are packed together without any barriers in between. Our best friends live in Spring Green and this resort is easy for us to catch up. We also spent an evening with friends watching the Summer Solstice - good food and great company.

August saw one trip to Rock Cut State Park in northern Illinois. We usually start the camping season at Rock Cut to "get the bugs out", but snuck this one in.

In September we took our long trip up to the North Shore of Lake Superior. We had a great trip. We drove the camper to Duluth and rented a car. Earlier in the season I put the car over the car dolly again which cost $600 for a wrecker to clear off. Without some type of guard on the dolly, we will be renting.  

Our first campsite was in Two Harbors, MN at Penmarallter Campsite another private campground. The sites are right off Highway 61 and traffic can be noisy. We hiked a few hours on the Superior Hiking Trail, toured the lake shore and had a relaxing time. 

Then it was back to Grand Marias for the last half of our trip, Here we stayed at another public camp ground, Grand Marias Recreation Area located right on Lake Superior. We ate and walked around town to the tourist stores and, of course, I bought a hat and Michelle a sweatshirt. All was done with social distancing and the like.
