The Camper

Another day with rain forecast so Gary decided we might as well go look for his next camper. He found the one he wanted on line.  It is located at a dealership in Suamico, north of Green Bay.  It was a pleasant drive as we talked about the coming summer.  Winter wheat is not showing green yet.  Yesterday Bob Manzke thought his wheat hadn't made it through the winter but now we wonder if it is simply to grow this year. 

Pulaski, Sobieski, Chase, Suamico.  As the miles passed, we talked about camping to come.  We want to be at Boulder Lake, a National Forest campground as soon as it opens for the season, but that means having the camper ready by mid-May. From there, the camper will be pulled to Lost Lake, then Laura Lake, then Lake Ottawa.  We're allowed only two weeks at any campground.  

We liked the camper which seemed to have everything Gary wanted.  It's much bigger than what we're used to but with a better furnace and air conditioning, it would be warmer on cold nights and cooler on warm nights.  There would be a full shower and tub and a kitchen better than the one in this house. 

But the price was more than Gary was willing to pay, so back to the Internet he went.  He found a similar camper, newer and with even nicer touches and oddly, less expensive.  What I particularly like about this camper is the small room that will serve as my office.  There I can write in quiet or sit on the sofa to read.  I will be able to look out the window at, I hope, a Wisconsin lake.  

This camper is at an RV dealer in Door County, so off we go again tomorrow to take a look.  

I am enjoying the drives through greening Wisconsin so whether or not we find the perfect camper, I am content.
