A New Trailer
I bought a new camping trailer on Friday afternoon. We drove 200 miles to Fort
Bragg. We set up in the dark and were exhausted, so we went to bed. The low temperature and high humidity made it unbearably
cold. The next morning it was colder and misty. Read manual on new trailer and found out all we had to do was to set the thermostat
to a comfortable 75 degrees!! Never listen to a wife that says don't touch anything until we read the manual!!

The Best Trip ever!
I was 7 years old and my dad and step-mother had plans for us to go to
the coast. So we packed up for a 4 day weekend at the beach! I had never seen the ocean before. We drove for hours and
finally we were in Crescent City. All of a sudden there was the water to the right of me as far as the eye could see.
My parents kept driving and the water disappeared and I could not see anything but trees. We arrived at the Mill Creek camp
group just south of Crescent City, CA. It was so awesome! Setting up camp was fun too. I had never done it before. We stayed
in camp that night and made dinner on the camp fire and played games. There were three families all there together so I had
kids to play with and we had the coolest tree stump in our campsite. All 5 of us kids could stand on top of the stump and
there was plenty room for more kids. It became our fort for the weekend. The next morning, we had to wash up from breakfast,
get our bathing suits and a change of clothes. My mom was busy getting sun block, towels and a football. We all got into the
cars and away we went. We were headed to the beach! We parked the truck and I headed towards the water. My mom grabbed the
camera and got pictures as I left a trail of clothes from the parking lot to the water. This was the most exciting thing ever
in my whole life! I played in the water for hours! My parents had to drag me off the beach. I will never forget that trip.
It changed my whole life. I fell in love with the outdoors that weekend, and I will spend the rest of my life exploring all
that nature has to offer.

An Unexpected Friend
We were traveling from Pennsylvania to Texas going home from our two
week long vacation. We were entering into Kentucky when our cat sitter called with some bad news. Our fifteen
year old cat had passed away. We stopped for the night in Louisville, KY and rested. The next day we decided to visit
St. Louis as a side venture. We got to the St. Louis site earlier than we normally did, so I decided to catch up
on laundry. While doing laundry, the weather changed from cool to dark and cold. I was leaving the laundry area
and I saw something move quickly toward me. I could not see anything but little specks of white. When I got
into the light I saw this beautiful creature. She was a tuxedo cat. I inquired about her at the store. I
was told that she had been left behind, but adapted to everyone who worked there and some that had visited. The clerk
asked if we wanted her. I was a little hesitant because we did not have the items needed to care for a cat on
the road. The next day my husband packed the car along with our new friend, Ms. Burbank. We stopped and got the items
we needed to travel with her. She is a great traveler.

Dear Bob and Sue,
You don't know us, but we have been frequent visitors to your
campground since the time of it being "Happy Hollow". We made our first trip there about 10 years or so ago when our
boys were around 9 and 4 years of age. It might have even been near the end of the "Happy Hollow" phase. Our latest
trip was 2 years ago when we were there for the Family Fun Night at Lambeau. We spent a week. Last weekend we
were able to come up just for a quick night before and the ballgame. I ended up getting a package deal and we spent
the night in Appleton. But we wanted you to know that we did stop through around 8 pm on Saturday night. The boys
"had to see the place we call home when we are in Green Bay". We were extremely pleased and impressed with all the renovations
that you have made. It reminded us so much of what the place looked like when we first started coming. It reminded
us of why we LOVED that place! We were so mad that we didn't stay---even if it was for only one night. Then when
I went to your website and found out you had a yurt, we were even more upset with ourselves for not checking. THIS will
NEVER happen again. I have put you into my favorites and I will contact you when we are able to come. Hopefully
next summer will work sometime. It is an 8 hour trip for us because we come from St. Charles, IA............but we love
the Green Bay area. In fact, we have never only stayed one night before and it was really hard for us to come home Sunday
after the game. My husband and I teach school and my husband is a football coach, so we HAD to get back. How long
does your season stay open??? If we were able to get away one more time in the fall, I would want to call you first!
Thanks again for coming back and making it "home" again!!!

Thank you for our overnight stay. Your place was a welcome sight along our way. Like all your little people
throughout.
