The inaugural camping trip for 2021 is officially in the books. If you know us, you know we typically try to schedule an early season camping trip to "get the bugs out" before the real camping season begins. It's not about actual bugs, though, there is always a good deep clean that happens before we take the camper out each year. Its about figuring out what's broken, what needs to be updated and what small changes we want to make for the coming season. This years list included a nice new mattress for our bed (why did we wait so long to upgrade this?) and fixing the fridge which was inexplicably broken when we fired it up this year (eye roll). But, that's the whole point of this trip!
So - this year's first trip was scheduled for Mother's Day weekend at Devils Lake. Devils Lake is one of the most popular campgrounds in Wisconsin and scoring a weekend there in the summer is nearly impossible, but we've found that if you go just slightly off season and plan ahead you can usually get a handful of sites.
Our group was perfect for this trip - essentially the core Yellowstone group that will be heading West this summer - July is less than two months away! We had the opportunity to start planning meals, stops, activities and chatting about all the things we're each brining to support this big 2600 mile, 17 day trip. Actually, my parents will be gone for over a month since they are adding Glacier onto their trip and leaving a few weeks ahead of us. Long story short, we'll have lots of summer vacation posts ahead!
All in all, it was a great Mother's Day weekend - spent with family and enjoying every minute of it (including the ice cream!).
