Summer 2025 Road Trip - Roll with the punches

[welikecamping2]

The "Love Shack", the original summer camp. A Bed and a bathroom.



While there, we stayed in the Love Shack, the kids stayed in the little camp and our hosts stayed in the big camp. It was 3 days of absolute heaven.

Private beach, perfect weather...



We had a couple of days of absolute glass. paddling was awesome. Chilling on the beach was awesome. The last day, smoke from fires in Canada affected the sunrise


Alas, we had to depart this secluded oasis and head back to reality. The people in Laramie told me that the trailer should be ready in a couple of days. We decided to hammer-time the 1200+ miles back to Laramie. At this point in our trip, we were supposed to go back to Iron River airport, a private airstrip where we would camp for the night, then, on to Little Sand Bay in the Apostle Islands. Missing that was disappointing.

The next three days we drove 400+ miles each day to get back to Laramie by Sunday evening. We would pick up the trailer in the morning, and start the real camping part of this trip. While in Laramie, the wife did some research and we found out about the Snowy Range Scenic Byway which leaves west out of Laramie and heads right up into the Snowy Range, that did not disappoint.

As close as we got to the Apostles, just east of Duluth. perhaps next time...


A stop in Iowa falls:


Picking up the trailer in Laramie


All of our social obligations met, we were finally back in the camper, ready for the woods.
