The first week of August found us at a Corps of Engineers campground near a lake on the Eau Galle (“smelly water” in French) River. The dam was built in 1965 – 1968 to protect the village of Spring Valley from periodic flooding. Much of the shoreline was developed into parks and boat launching areas. Our campground is a couple of miles from the lake on a ridge out of view to the right. This is the first COE campground we have been in where the campground is not on the body of water. It has 38 numbered sites, and perhaps 60% are appropriate for type A motor homes.
These few pictures were taken by the 10 mp camera in my smart phone.
After leaving the Twin Cities, on Aug. 11 we stopped to see Orlando and Joanne Klassen at their new assisted living quarters at Mountain Lake MN where they farmed for many years.They had a winter home in our subdivision in Mesa where we became acquainted with them at happy hours and holiday dinners.
