We were going to try to make it next weekend but it looks like the weather is going in the dumps again next weekend. I think last year our first time out was Mothers day week end. looking like that's the way it is again. I really like cool crisp mornings with the temps getting up into the 60's or low 70's during the day. Gotta take what you can get.

Ya'll can come to Northern MI where most of the snow has melted, but we still have 2-3 foot tall glaciers in the woods. We even got up to the mid 60's today, feels great to breathe the clean air blowing off the cool lake today.

Yeah, hate to rub salt in the wounds of our Northern Brotheren; but I don't even winterize my POD. I camp mostly in Fall/Winter/Spring and cover it up for the summer. Been out with the grandkids 9 weekends since Halloween ! They are starting to get deadly with their airsoft guns; I come back looking like I have 1000 bites; those darn things hurt.....Camp by the prettiest trout stream in North Georgia. Oh yeah; no snow this year......

Then I won't mention that we've been out twice so far (plus once in January).

So I probably shouldn't be saying that we have been out 4 times this year already, including this weekend with what I consider perfect camping weather on Saturday and today with pure sunshine, high 60's and lows around 50?

Haven't dewinterized yet here in Eastern Washington. It was 21 degrees a couple of nights ago. We did take our first trip of the season though. We spent a couple of nights at Steamboat Rock State Park on Banks lake. Enjoyed lots of hiking, especially in Northrup Canyon. No kayaking this time though. It was too cold and windy for that.
The Pod did well. Can hardly wait until next time. |
