Camping at Roubaix Lake



We had a WONDERFUL weekend up at Roubaix Lake! Beautiful weekend... not too hot, maybe just a little bit cool? We made "blind" reservations at the campground... which turned out perfectly... the exact spot we thought would be a great site! (we had a chance to run through the campground a few weeks earlier but couldn't remember the numbers of the sites).

This was an experimental trip in a lot of ways... our first time out just OUR family, our first time out with the new camper without any "hookups" (water, electricty), a new unfamiliar campground, new ATV trails! Everything turned out better than what we could have planned if we tried!

Saturday morning the kids woke up extra early... so we decided to take advantage of the situation and headed out for the trails ASAP. I packed a lunch so we could eat on the trail... we ended up putting on nearly 20 miles! Liv LOVES rides (even long ones I guess!) on the ATV's -- and ended up napping for more than an hour on our 3 hour trip!

This weekend we are looking forward to taking in a little bit of Hills Alive -- specifically Toby Mac on Saturday night... After that, we're hoping to get one more camping adventure in July... and hopefully 2-3 more before the end of the summer season is over...

smiles to you all

Did you like boondocking? I would love to do that! Heck, I would love to be totally off all of that, but Randy wouldn't have it.

And I suppose we need internet right?

Glad you had fun!
