This Week I'm taking you north into the Paul Bunyan Starte Forest. It was a great weekend. On Friday I was stressing about finding a camping spot. The forests have been so full of campers this year. I have been having a harder time than usual finding empty sites, especially along rivers and lakes. I called by friend Jack during my lunch break on Friday. He suggested heading up to Paul Bunyan State Forest and parking in a wooded pull-off. Thats exactly what I did in last week's video, and it would definitely work out, however Jack suggested taking the e bike up to a beautiful vista where a fire tower once stood. I decided to locate a few potential spots before heading up there. I was so happy I made the drive. I found 3 spots in total; the first one had signs saying no camping. That didn't make it into the video. The second spot had potential I may have to check that out some weekend. The 3rd was an absolute beauty!
Saturday was a wash. It rained most of the day. It wasn't a hard rain, just an annoying mist. I'd hear claps of thunder every once in a while, but it never turned into a soaking rain. The humidity and dew points were crazy high. The air felt so thick you could chew on it. Saturday night I wasn't feeling like eating. I was tired, wet and spent the majority of the day sweating. Thats when the true potential of the truck camper shines. I turned on the air conditioner, took a shower and spent the last few hours of the day watching YouTube. Don't get me wrong, Saturday was still an awesome day camping on the lake. I attempted to catch some fish. I cleaned up the campsite and rebuilt the fire pit. Toby and I went on a few walks, and I really got to see the beauty of Northern Minnesota.
I hope next week I can come across another campsite just like this one. Thanks for coming along on the weeks adventure.
