The last camping trip of the season?

Ah, the rig. This is a photo of our first trip with it last spring. We spent our spring break in Arkansas last year. Gorgeous place. However, this is Ft. Donelson National Battlefield in Tennessee. That's the Cumberland River on the left.

Monica is working on a Junior Ranger badge as I look on. The kids' bikes and the Scion are attached to the rig, a 31 foot Minnie Winnie.

Our first time out with the rig and we encountered every type of precipitation possible in North America. Day One brought snow and freezing rain. Day Two tacked on small hail, some sleet, and more snow before warming up to a mild rain. The week before spring break, Arkansas had temperatures in the high 70s and low 80s. The week we were there averaged in the low 60s during the day, but near freezing overnight. We had two decent days of weather.

Someday, I'll write about the spots we visited and some of the stupid things I did. We're not quite the Griswolds, but I'm not too far off from Clark after I've been on the road for a bit.

We might be going camping this weekend. We're running out of decent weather and with the holidays approaching, there aren't many weekends left. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
