Camping: Chamberlain, SD last weekend

Early last week we FINALLY found a camper in our price range that wasn't a piece of trash.  It wasn't even hard to clean-up!  We took it and the boat to Chamberlain, on the Missouri River, for a dry run to see how it's going to work out.  They have damed the river there and created Lake Francis Case.   The water was WONDERFUL!  I had no idea that lakes could be 75.8-78.5 degrees!  So nice to be in water that was above 45*!  We think this camper just might be a keeper!

Sunset, the night we got there.
After blowing a tire on his truck before even getting out of Rapid, I'm thinkin' a cocktail was deserved!

We met some kids at the boat ramp that were fascinated with the kayaks.  After giving both of them lessons, the little girl decided she prefered to let her brother do the work and she would just go a long for the ride!

Casey's first kayak float!

The 2nd night we were there, we got almost 2" of rain in less than 20 minutes.  This was after the 4" inches they'd received the night before we got there.  The ground was a little saturated!

The only fish we (I) caught all weekend! 

The Missouri River was a floatin' his boat!

Bill decided Casey needed to learn to drive the boat!

Wake-up and play with me!

Please play with me!  I want to play with you!!!

The new digs!
Sure was nice to go into a dry camper after gettin' all that rain!  I never camped in such style before!  LOL


Having to be tethered all weekend was kind of a bummer.  Good thing she is a good sport!
We're lookin' forward to the next camp trip!  I still gotta clean it up before the next run though.  Good times had by all!  Life IS good!
Do you think she likes her frisbee?
This was an after thought.  LOL
