Update From Reedsville.

We are steadily chipping away at our to do list, this is good as we will be leaving here in about a week. We have had the mothership in for it’s service and we got our problem with the CRV taken care of but most of our time has been spent catching up with family and friends and sitting by the campfire with Oscar and the group here at the campground. The weather is changing now as autumn takes over with cool nights and warm days, this is an enjoyable time of year to be in Wisconsin as the trees change color and the crops come off the fields.

 

Looking at Reedsville from a nearby hill.

 

The Collins wildlife area is starting to show color.

 

 

 

 

 

John saw his old friend in Collins, the 1996 S10 that we sold earlier  this year when we left on our adventure.

 

 

The Bridgestone tires on our CRV were replaced with Goodyear’s last week; the original tires were worn out with a total of 22,000 driving and towing miles on them. Honda split the cost with us saying that they “may have received a bad batch of tires”; considering what we read on the internet this may be an understatement but we were happy with the resolution that was offered considering many people (not all are tow vehicles), were not offered anything despite having tires that were replaced with as few as 14,000 miles on them.

 

We may have stayed here to long, spiders have built a web on the mothership.

 

That’s not Sandy in the CRV, Halloween came early to Rainbow’s End.

 

The campground is full this weekend as there is an early Halloween celebration today, this is about the last big weekend of the year as Norm will be closing for the winter months on October 17th. Next weekend is Norm’s birthday celebration so we will eat some pork chops that he grills for the occasion. Most of the gang from the campground will be leaving for their fall outing, this year they will be in Florence County in northern Wisconsin; we will not be going as it is our last week here and we still have several things to do before we pack up and say goodbye to the family.

 

Ann, Judy and Sandy had some help setting up for Halloween.

 

Norm put up some of his decorations.

 

Activities included memory games for the younger group.

 

Temporary Tattoos were available.

 

Pin the nose on the pumpkin.

 

There was a good turnout for the activities.

The ever popular piñata.

 

Everyone waits for the piñata to break.

 

 

Tonight is trick or treat and there is an adult Halloween party later, we plan to attend the campfire at Gene and Ann’s. Tomorrow we will have breakfast with the gang before they leave for Florence, we have had fun here and will miss their company until we return to Rainbow’s End next July.
