Arrow Head RV Resort, Ely, MN a small campground right in Ely, MN. It’s a very basic RV campground, but I would not call it an RV resort. We had water, sewer, 50 amp electric, and WiFi. The WiFi reception was good and seemed to have pretty decent speeds, although I never did run a speed test. AT&T service worked very well, but Verizon was spotty at best in the area. In spite of some negative reviews, we got along fine with the campground manager.
We had a great week with friends in Ely, MN.
Canoeing, pictographs, bears, wolves, sightseeing, hiking, waterfalls, and visiting a homestead, are just some of the things the Eberts shared with us during the week.

It is a very lovely and clean little campground in Kieler, Wisconsin, just north of Dubuque, IA. They have an office and a camp store. The barn has a large screen TV and tables for games. The parlor is a banquet/meeting room. There is a playground area with Bolo, giant lawn checkers, and connect four lawn games.
We got the PDL or pedal drive kayaks because I have tried to fish with a paddle in my had and I didn’t like it. It is much easier to fish when you have both hands free. And if it is windy or there is current, you have to be constantly paddling without the pedal drives.
As with everyone else, 2020 has not gone as planned for us because of Covid-19. We ended our adventures a little early because the RV Entrepreneurs Summit we were going to was canceled and the RV park we were going to stay at closed. Since we had a home to come back to, we just came home because we knew there were a lot of full-time RVer’s who did not have a place to come back to and they would be struggling to find a campground to stay at.
Our plan was to come home, load everything we own into trailers and, take it to the auction. Well, since the state of Illinois shut down, we could not have an auction. We have been selling things one at a time on FaceBook Market Place, and eBay. It takes forever to take pictures, find a box, weigh, and ship everything you own, one at a time.
I was bored and sick and tired of cleaning, packing, and selling stuff, getting ready to hit the road full time. So I spent the day decorating our blue boy, honey wagon, or portable waste tank with septic tank jokes.
For those of you who are not campers and don’t know: at some campsites, they don’t have sewer hookups at every campsite. Hopefully, they have a dump station nearby. So instead of packing everything up, hooking our trailer up to the truck and going to the dump station every 2 to 3 days, we dump our black and grey tanks into the portable waste tank. Then we pull it over to the dump station and dump it.
While it is a lot easier to have the sewer hookups at the campsite, if everything goes well, it’s not a nasty job at all. I’m just trying to put a little smile on other campers’ faces when we see them at the dumpsites.
Because of the size of the shake, Tim and I decided to share one. We got the cookie butter shake, it was a special for the month therefore it was not on their regular menu. This shake was cookie butter ice cream with Butterfinger pieces. Topped with a waffle, whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate and Butterfinger pieces
Livingston County Trail System is a very nice and long multi-use trail system for hiking, and biking. It wanders through woods and grasslands, under high wire power lines and next to a beautiful little lake and a few streams. There are a few really steep hills to get your heart rate up whether walking, running, or biking.
