				August 8, 2018 - First time out!!! 
				
				 We 
				had a great, uneventful trip.  Toodles and Odo had never 
				ridden in any motorhome so this was a first for both.  They 
				decided they would both sit on the front seat. 
				The park is not very busy at all, perhaps at twenty percent of 
				its capacity.  I had reserved 158.  The motorhome 
				looks downright silly, taking so little of both the width and 
				length of the space. 
				It was a hot day, with temperatures in the 90s and a threat of 
				rain.  Had a bit of rain on the drive up.  It was 
				enough to wash the dust off.  Not much to setting up but 
				the heat soak surprised me.  When it is warm out the box 
				gets toasty until the muffler, engine and drivetrain cool off.
 
				
				 Storms 
				were supposed to be coming.  We hit the Mouse Trail and 
				both dogs immediately realized we were the most target-rich 
				environment we had ever been in!  They went crazy with the 
				number and types of smells. 
				We logged 2.62 miles but you'd of think they walked ten miles. 
				
				 
 
 
				August 7, 2018 
				
				 We 
				slept like babies.  I am THRILLED with the comfort! 
				We were up and walked the entire campground, a distance of six 
				miles. 
				AND ... ready?  Odo caught himself a rabbit.  He 
				determined that if he throws himself into each and every area of 
				shrubs, he'd eventually throw himself right into a rabbit.  
				He was right!  Preferring releasing the rabbit unharmed to 
				Dad starangulating him, he let the rabbit go unharmed.  
				Also below is my wood transport device version 1. 
 
				
				  
  
				A visit from a Cooper's Hawk who was looking to deprive a nest 
				of some babies: 
				
				 
				A VERY green tree! 
				
				 
				 
				Later 
				we walked the Inland Lake Trail, a distance of 2.4 miles. 
				If you look above Toodles, you will see a  Blue Heron who 
				really hoped that Toodles would not notice him. 
				
				 
				
  
				Tried out the shower and believe it or not, taking a full shower 
				in a Class B, a small Class B at that, is not only possible, but 
				easy. 
				And this is how Toodles is often found napping:

				Left early and dumping was easy.  Overall a trip with 
				nothing wrong with a new unit during a shake down.
