Camping in Carlton

Yesterday me and Bobi rolled into the KOA here in Carlton MN. We only circled the town of 1000 a few times before stumbling upon the campground. I had been here once before, and remembered that the campground is along the train tracks.

However, since there are tracks coming into the city from multiple directions, this did not make the process any easier.

We got settled in, and got to try out the new camp stove, very nice. We had our camp fire going for a little bit when we saw the first lightning in the sky. Thunderstorms were in the forecast, so we didn't get to worried until the tornado siren went off. Apparently though, around here they turn the siren to alert the volunteer fire department as well. Not wanting to tempt fate, we let the fire burn down to the coals, loaded the chairs in the car, and took shelter in Eggbert.

Good thing He's waterproof, cause it rained like a monster last night, complete with thunder, lightning, and wind. Eggbert held fast though, with nary a leak. The sound of the rain on his fiberglass shell is very relaxing, and soothed me and Bobi both to sleep.
