    Long before e-payment, my dad taught us kids to never leave the house without some cash in our wallets plus a couple bucks stashed away somewhere in the car. Still do that today, which has served me well over all these years. Maybe have a secret stash of small bills somewhere in your van? Thx for the entertaining video! 😊

    Great camping spot. We've been there a few times. You didn't make a rookie mistake - Fool Hollow has single and double camping spots. If you want to have a double spot to yourself you pay the $60+ "premium" cost. Hope you enjoyed the beautiful lake. Cheers.

    One of our favorite campgrounds, and we will be there next week! We also got a premium spot, and we had to reserve it a year in advance! So hard to get reservations there, unfortunately, but it's a lovely campground and the towns nearby are fun to explore with some great shops and restaurants! If we can't get a site with full hookups, we use their showers and toilets as much as possible. You should try Big Lake next!

    I don't think it was a "Rookie" mistake. I would be totally weirded out if I had reservations and someone was already in there. It didn't look like you could have known that you had to share a spot. One of the reasons, why I don't camp much at hook up sites is especially here in AZ it seems, like they are way too close together. We normally find a place to dispeerse camp mostly. That said, I really enjoy your videos. Again I don't think you made a mistake, I would ahve been weirded out too.

    Sometimes kayaking involves tracking vertically to the wind to make up your distance. It’s an old sailor trick moving sideways to the wind to track alongside your route. In other words, sometimes the longest distance doesn’t require the most energy the wind will push you along.

    Absolute insanity the amount of money they charge you have your own hotel with you and there’s no way in HE double toothpicks for a day or even two you’re going to use $60 worth of power or water or use of the facilities. I’ve been on the road over 22 years in one RV or another, never pay that. I have joined Moose Elks and VFW and give them fees for which is about 20 bucks and it helps support their communities. I have solar panels so I really don’t need the electricity.
