Always one more day

When we go camping for 2 days, we always wish we had a third day because that would make the trip so much better.  When we go camping for 3 days, we wish for four.  And when we camp for 4 days..  well, I think you get the idea.  We left on Wednesday evening and made it to just north of Columbus near Alum Creek.  We stayed at Cross Creek which is a very nice park, and apparently was totally booked for the weekend.  That was ok though because we were only staying the night.  Despite our later than usual arrival they were very friendly and accommodating.

The next morning is where the fun began.  As we drove away we noticed that the brake controller in the truck didn’t seem to be registering that it was actually controlling the trailer brakes.  That’s important when you have 3400lbs behind you to stop.  We ended up at RCD Trailer Sales near Deleware, OH.  Long story short, they were really great!  They got us up and running very quickly despite their facility having been burnt down recently.

After a lunch and shopping trip at Cabela’s (which is quite RV friendly) we headed towards Cincinnati for our weekend destination.  We arrived at Spring Valley Frontier Campground and were shown to the last available spot for the weekend.  Another full campground!  I hadn’t expected this so late in the camping season.  The owner got us set up and went about his way getting the campground ready.

On Saturday we went to the Ohio Renaissance Festival.  We went last year and had a blast so we went again.  It was VERY busy, but we got to see Albannach and the Tartan Terrors perform which was very cool.  I’m not usually a fan of bagpipes, but I really liked their sound.  Unfortunately they’re not on Spotify, but I found some on iTunes.

It was a really great weekend to round out the camping season. I’m assuming that my next weekend off may not be ideal for camping, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed.  After that it’s off to Mentor RV for some winter warranty repairs on the Visa.
