This is our first camping trip to Hillsdale State Park. Lisa and I had driven through it the week before and chosen some lakeside campsites that we thought would be fun to camp in.
Lisa was able to leave early from school (3 pm) so we were able to get an early start. Unfortunately, it took over an hour to get our trailer hooked up. Lisa drove and when we got to the campsite, we, unfortunately, realized that we had reserved the wrong spot. The spot we had reserved was across the street from the lake but ended up being a nice roomy location that was laterally level. The weather that evening was a little cold, but we still made a fire and Lisa was able to use the gas grill I brought out to cook some burgers.
The next day, we rode our bicycles around the campsite. Neither of us had been on bicycles in years, but they worked adequately but I did conclude that the derailleurs needed some adjusting when we got back. I was also able to get the screen door crossbar handle installed. This allowed us to have something easy to grab when closing or opening the screen door. I had installed the RV Bug Stop on the screen door earlier which helps keep the screen door slide closed.
The day was beautiful and we sat outside in the sun a lot. There was no shade at the site though and I believe Lisa got a little heat exhaustion. Besides some bicycle riding, we did a little walking and visited the camp host. We were suppose to check in when we arrived but had not. He worked in a little hut that had a computer and miscellaneous supplies. It actually looked rather crowded and very uninviting. I had read how Camp Hosts are hired and are most paid mostly with free camp fees. This was known as workcamping. It had looked interesting as a retirement job, but this did not look inviting.
On Sunday, we were able to empty the black and grey tanks for the first time. We barely had anything in either, but it was a good learning exercise. Lisa then got us home and parked safely. The backup camera as a microphone in it that allows Lisa to clearly hear my instructions when I am guiding her into the parking spot. It sure saves us from having to yell, and makes parking a much more calming operation.
