🎍Buying our camper

-

👀 


On August 22, 2020, we decided to buy a camper after looking and looking and dreaming.  Off we went to buy a Jayco Jayflight SLX.  It was everything we wanted, and we were so  happy.  Fast forward to the beginning of the week with a hurricane approaching.  So, off we went at the last minute with no equipment, no idea how to do this camping thing, and no idea what was in store.  Little did we know, this was going to be baptism by fire for camping.  But, we were bitten by the bug and have continued our journey ever since.

May 28 - 30, 2021 This is our second military campground.  The spots were so small that some RV's couldn't back in.  The grandkids came with us.  But, we had a little boy that would not leave our campground and truly ruined the experience for us.  The campground was well kept, but the bathrooms left something to be desired.  There was a logging competition going on Saturday, and that was interesting.  The lake and beach were great with a bounce pillow and a great playground.  We were able to walk with the grandkids and get ice cream and look at the boats.  I don't know if I'd go back because of the closeness of the sites.
