Our first trip out with our camper for 2019! As usual, not everything went smooth... super windy on the drive down made for a white-knuckled drive, lots of rain that forced us out a day early, not to mention problems with our hot water heater... again, but we still had a great time and was happy that we had the chance to go! We still got 2 nights in at a beautiful, new to us, campground! This is at Whitten Park in Fulton, Ms, only about 1.5 hours away from us. It’s located south of Piney Grove (another favorite campground of ours) on the Tombigbee waterway. We got site #11 which is right on the water with a small fishing pier right at our site (in the photo) and another longer pier right next to it (from which this photo was taken on). This is definitely a nice campground and we look forward to heading back later this year (hopefully on a nicer weekend) to spend more time here! #rvlife #firsttripof2019 #camperlife #starcraft #rv #camper #whittenpark #whittencampground #fultonms #siteonthewater #onthewater #camping #campinglife #glamping #glampinglife #iphone8plusLuke was ready to go... Lucy not so much! And I’m not sure how Lucy managed to turn both her ears out... lol!!! #carrides #dogslife #lukethegolden #lucytherescue #familyFinally got around to making a stove top cover for the stove in our camper! Here it’s sitting on top of the stove grate, however we can remove the grate and it can nest down into the stove top for a lower profile. And of course it can serve as a serving tray for bringing food (or ingredients) in and out of the camper! #everylittlebitofspacecounts #counterspace #countertops #stovecover #diy #rvlife #rvrenovation #starcraftGetting the camper ready for this year... I added a bike rack and supports to the bumper. Now we can do a little biking at the campgrounds! (I gotta redo my stickers again too...) #rvupgrade #bikeracks #bumpersupport #mountnlock #starcraft #21fb #rvlife #rv #happycamper #blessed #itsalmosttime #lilbit #stickeritupOur newest, and best addition to our camper, the American flag (which was Made in the USA!) I just have to figure out a better way to attach it to my camper now! #usa #america #proudtobeanamerican #camperlife #starcraft #rvlife #cantwaittogocampingOur @blackrockgear down hat collection is growing! These are all from the “Original” series. The black (far left) was my first purchase, almost 8 years ago. Since then it has been worn around home/town/work as well as with me on most all backpacking trips; it’s been worn while hiking, slept in, stuffed inside my sleeping bag and of course down in the bottom of my backpack. It’s only been washed once with soap, however it’s been wet from rain several times too... and it’s still holding up like a champ! The Moroccan Blue on the far right is my newest addition... it just showed up in my mailbox yesterday, and while it doesn’t have that worn, soft, familiar feel that my older black one has (yet), it does have that new, soft, snuggly feel of one that is excited to see some use! The one in the middle was an Easter special that they ran last year and I was able to snag up for my wife. And yeah, she also loves it as much as I do mine! Anywho, I love all of my Black Rock Gear hats, and can highly recommend them, so check them out!!- Follow Stick's Blog on WordPress.com
