Thanks for sharing, Carolyn. I had to look the park up, I was thinking it was in South LA, but it's up in the north part of the state, how was your experience with your rig? I know each time will build your confidence and things will come easier in both towing and setting up. Glad yall had fun!

Vicki,

This was my fourth outing with my camper. I learn each time I take her out. I am still working on the backing. ;)

Looks to me like you did a super bang up job of backing in with all of those trees! GJ! Beautiful grands...but aren't they all? Looks like you guys had a great 4th!

Wow - great place, great pics - and great job backing in - trees and all!

And that is one gigantic piece of watermelon your grand is eating. My kind of piece of watermelon. Notice all the food pics - you just got me hungry.

Nice cg. Great job backing in. I like seeing the GKs cook for the adults, food always tastes better when cooked by someone else. :D Thanks for sharing your weekend. Linda
