July 8-10 2007 Brooklyn Park, Minnesota


What a nice visit with our friends Dwain (waving to me in the front yard) and Linnea (in their living room).

We met our friends 2 years ago in Arizona. After lots of visits in the camp grounds and at our home in Casa Grande it was time to visit them at their home in Minnesota.

They had a cement pad, 50A electric, and water hook ups for us. We backed in right next to their home.

Note the lush green lawn, I checked, not 1 weed. We had Linnea’s fresh Rhubarb Pie made from Rhubarb that Dwain cut that morning in the back yard garden. They took us to a spaghetti dinner to meet some of their friends one evening. The next evening Dwain fired up the BBQ for great steaks.

This was the spot I selected to take on my long delayed job of rewiring the overhead entertainment compartment in our Bounder. This meant taking out the 27” (450 pound, at least) TV. We got it out and rewired with a new home theater unit. Good picture, great sound, thanks Dwain.

Their son Tim (in the kitchen) prepared a 5 Star going-away breakfast for us our last morning. Not enough time with these folks but time to leave and find the “Oregon Trail”. We made plans to meet this winter in Arizona and share our latest adventures and a game or two of Pegs & Jokers.

I think that site with the pool is a private membership park, very exclusive.
