Campground in the Suburbs

For our followers:  we will begin blogging more frequently, as we hit the road again very soon.

For September, we had parked the motorhome at our cabin north of Duluth and spent half of our time there.  The other half was spent in the Minneapolis area.  We didn't buy any diesel fuel for almost 2 months, but we sure put a lot of miles on the car, and a few on the motorcycle too.

A couple of weeks ago we saw light snow when we were visiting Ely MN (N48 – W92) so we know it is time to pack up.  The snow didn’t stick around, and the temperatures are in the 80’s this week, but the wind is blowing the color off of the trees and we know what is coming.

Tomorrow is Saturday and we will have all of our granddaughters together for a final “fix” before we leave on Sunday.  On our way, we will check in with Bob’s brother, Don, who is recovering from a traffic accident.  Since many MN campgrounds have already closed for the season, we will have to be careful about where we stop, but that shouldn’t be a problem as we get into IA and MO.

By the way, here is our current campsite:

That is Brett and Jen’s house where we are parked.  While it only offers 20A, and no sewer connection for us, it does have water for our tanks and there is a Cabella’s down the road with a public dump facility.  It also has a firepit in back, and LOTS of things to keep us busy (the girls).
