Winter Camping?

Out of the house in the sunshine on the way to the Lake! It was 40 degrees the sun was shining and we took off work early Friday afternoon. You know what’s great about going to the lake in the winter? The traffic is non existent! No one else on the road make it a pleasure!

We left about 11:30 and arrived around 3:00 the sun was still out. John keeps his driveway clean all year so we just parked in the driveway up near the road.

I started to shovel out the bank that was plowed up and was going to drive down into our driveway, but decided it wasn’t worth the effort. You see the start of it here. We will just leave the Jeep sit where it is.



Checked out everything and it all looked great. No rabbits or ground hogs chewing on anything this year for some reason. The snow is still pretty deep. I turned on the power and started charging the house batteries on the coach, and also hooked up a battery charger to the engine batteries.



The sun shining through the windows had already warmed the coach quite a bit so after turning on the furnace and the electric heater in no time it was warm and inviting inside. So while its still daylight its time to break out the wine for happy hour.





Margaret had purchased one of those tables that goes on the coach steering wheel so that had to get set up,



After happy hour I ran to town for a pizza for supper.

Even though it got down to 15 degrees overnight it stays really warm in the coach. I set the furnace at 60 degrees and left the electric fireplace on. The furnace didn’t even start all night the little fireplace can keep the coach above 60 degrees.

In the morning when the sun was shinning again we went for a walk along the lake. Earlier last summer the people that own the lot in the bay just north of us that had the old trailer house were building. We walked up to check it out. It seems that they have constructed a castle. The place must be 3 or 4 thousand square feet!



This morning it was a bout 15 degrees and crisp but it was nice to be out on the lake.



We left about 9AM and headed back to the city. We will come up again in a few weeks to cut down some dead Jack Pine trees before the leaves come out in the woods.
