It's Thanksgiving in Canada this weekend and it typically marks the end of the summer camping/boating/cottage seasons. People with cottages and boats will be winterizing and closing up and those with trailers and RVs will be out for one last weekend if they aren't full timers or snow birds.
We are going out Thursday afternoon and staying until Monday morning. The campground is only a couple hours from home but it's dry camping and it's the longest we've ever camped in one spot. We're usually travellors staying only one or two nights on the road and our weekends have only ever been three nights before now.
A four night stay will tax some of the systems, I don't know if a single 40 gallon tank of fresh water will do but I can always refill it from a spigot using a five gallon jug with a spigot. The batteries won't likely last more than two days because we'll need the furnace at night so I'll have to keep an eye on the voltage and run the generator, probably on Saturday morning, for a couple of hours. I may need to do it again Sunday night. Trying to keep the grey tank from filling up will also be on my mind but I do want to stay clean, I think we can both have a quick "navy" shower each day and make it to Monday. I've got lots of propane, Michelle will make sure we eat well and the booze cupboard will be filled. I've got three large bins of firewood to cut down the amount I need to spend at the campground. Did I miss anything?
Anyone else in Canada going out for the last time?
