Loon Lake August Campout

On August 10th we ventured back to Loon Lake to meet up with a bunch of friends.  Stephen and Janelle, Tom Wilson, Unni Stevens, Gary and Cheryl Goldsmith (with Lucy and Benetar) joined with  Kate, me and Ben and Charlie.  Great weather, with some interesting clouds and cool nights.  Lots of kayaking, hiking, poetry, bonfires, and awesome meals.  We even saw a bald eagle and her offspring.

No RV issues except upon leaving I had that grey water tank smell again.  So once I got home I went to lowes and bought a new cheater valve vent for the bathroom sink.  The old one was letting odor escape out, which is its primary purpose.  Cost $7.  Easy fix.

Here are some photos:
