Mossy Rock, Washigton State
Pictures of an almost vacant campground near the Mossy Rock Reservoir. This was our first venture out camping in a rented tent trailer. We wanted to experience living in one before we decided whether we wanted to own one. As a result, Rannah retired after 30 plus years at the same job, we bought a brand new trailer that is bigger and better equipped than the one pictured here, and I retired after being an Operating Engineer/Lawyer/Big Rig Driver for 43 years. And in a week we will be living on the road in that new trailer starting on our first excursion visiting Rannah's dad in Tennessee. How cool is that?
