Lest you think that we’ve got no prior RV’ing experience …
Mui received his first active duty assignment in March 1983. His orders took us to Hill Air Force Base, Utah. As spring turned to summer, the wide open expanses of the state were begging to be explored. We decided to try our hand at camping, but we didn’t want to rough it in a tent. So, we rented a trailer from the MWR (Morale, Welfare, and Recreation) facility on base and headed to Bear Lake.
Believe me when I say that “Bare” Lake would have been a more appropriate name. I couldn’t tell you which of the campgrounds we ended up at (it was way too long ago), but there was absolutely nothing there. And I mean nothing; not even a tree to provide shade.
Oh well … we enjoyed our first RV travel experience nonetheless.
(Apologies for the quality of the scanned images; the photos are from 27 years ago after all.)
Perhaps we’ll give Bear Lake another chance when Phaeton Journeys eventually finds its way to Utah.
If Phaeton were to devour a log cabin, a small metal tool shed and a rusty two wheel scooter, the poop would resemble that first camper :)
