Lost in the woods

Thanks for this forum. We were at Canoecopia in Madison, WI and got a great deal on a T@G XL Boondock. It was a fine spring day in Madison, but here we are back in Northern Minnesota with two feet of snow which will turn to ice and mud in the next few weeks. It will be fun setting it all up. (We opted to have them keep the microwave and give us doors and hardware instead). We’ll be asking questions and posting pics in the coming weeks and hope to meet some of you in person over the coming seasons. We’re both retired and live in the midst of a state forest, off grid in an earth shelter we built in 1984. We’ve traveled in everything from the 1961 VW Westfalia I courted Cheryl in, to a short Class C and even a couple of 15 foot travel trailers. Not to mention other VW campers. We are avid gardeners and have 50 acres within 72 square miles of forest. We have a cabin which we built from straw bales 1/2 mile away meandering through our forest trails. Up until Cheryl’s retirement two years ago it was her studio. Https://Facebook.com/lilacmoonshire

You will love the T@G.

We were up that way last summer. Our daughter lives in Duluth. We stayed at Pattison State Park in WI and Tettegouche in MN. Both were great. We will be there again this summer. We want to go to Copper Harbor State Park in WI. It looks like a neat destination, sticking out into Lake Superior.

Our son in law is a USFS forester we did a short hike along the North County Trail two years ago. Would like to find a good place to camp with the T@G that gives access to some of the pretty parts of the trail.

We realize we know a great deal about the southwest and Mexico, but have had rare opportunities to investigate much of our own area, having been super busy in summers. That changes this year! Thanks! We live very near Itasca State Park, the headwaters of the mighty Mississippi River. Although it starts small.
