Mid-October Tradition

October 26, 2024 by Lauren 3 Comments

Well, apparently staying at a KOA campground in mid-October is becoming a tradition for me. Last Friday, the weather was supposed to be nice enough for a real camp, but Lloyd had promised a friend that he would go to a Home Brew event at our local brewery. Introverted Lauren bowed right out of that and booked a night at the new KOA campground just south of the interstate.

I had been curious about it for a while. The owners are parents of some former preschool children, and they are go-getters. They turned a blank piece of land into an entire campground with a pool, hot tub, playground and a lake that they built.

It was fun! I rented an Apod, which is like a tiny A-frame house. There are two that are bare-bones, but because the owner recognized my name when I booked it, she put me in the nice one with a fridge!

The weather was crazy windy, so I didn’t do an evening fire. I took along my fire can for Council Fire, but I could have left that at home. Their fire ring was a Solo stove/gasifier style! (It was probably for the best. Nebraska is still so, so dry.)

So, it’s not my best video. There are verbal typos and an abrupt ending. I also left in the hilarious start when I was trying to take just a photo with my phone and watch, and wound up making a very awkward video.

    Your video wants me to sign in to prove I’m not a bot before I can watch it.

    Your camping sounds nice though. Did your cabin have a bathroom?

    I’m on my laptop now, and I’m able to watch the video without signing in. What a fun place to sleep! It looks comfortable, and like it would keep the spiders off of you. Nice!

      The websites were attacked by some bots, but the webmasters fought them off.

      To answer your question, no bathroom in the cabin, but one within walking distance that was pretty nice. I had to pee a lot, and I had to walk by a guy in his tent a couple of times. Sorry, guy.
