Since we purchased the larger trailer, we’ve become much better planners and have been reserving favorite camping sites ahead of time. Planning ahead wasn’t as much of an issue with our 16ft as we could squeeze into all kinds of awesome spots. The 25ft, as fabulous as it is, means great sites aren’t as nearly as abundant…and I’m picky.

So reserve we do. Which, is why we packed up and headed to Memaloose two weekends in a row. Our plan was to cancel one weekend, depending on the weather, but the weather was great both weekends and we took advantage of our good luck. We just love it here!

It’s not green like this for very long, but it’s so pretty while it lasts!
