What a summer! How quickly its flying by! After SD we landed at Piepenburg campground, a McLeod county park near Hutchinson MN. We were there from 6/12 thru 6/27. Fifteen nights to slow down, catch up on rest. While there I "gutted" the fresh water plumbing system and replumbed it using all PEX type tubing and the corresponding tube crimps.
Fun things we did, Drove a tractor in the Glencoe days parade, Started poring the last half of the parade! My son Rob took part in the festivities, he volunteered to be the cow for Coburn grocery store. Gotta admit the boy had nice udders!!
Spent a few days at Wild River State Park near North Branch. My sister Joanne came to visit every day, it was a wonderful memory!
From there we headed to Starr's sister's in Park Rapids to camp out in their driveway for two nights as we waited for our reservation to open up (it was 4 o July weekend) at La Salle S.P.
From there we went Hayes Lake S.P., NW MN.
From there we headed up to Beatrice Lake Campground (McCarthy Beach S.P.), north of Hibbing, beautiful park, wonderful sandy bottom beach, however, we decided that it's not conducive to a 35' 5th wheel, did some minor damage, but hey, live and learn! While we were there Starr's sister Colleen and her daughter Jenny and her two kids came to spend the day with us. Her friend Alice also came to visit and spend a couple nights. It was during Alice's stay that we convinced Starr that she should have surgery ...... ran to Grand Rapids for an MRI
