Our location - Mukwonago, WI
Country View Campground |
We returned to Wisconsin, in the Milwaukee area, to visit Mark's family. Like many metropolitan areas, it is hard to find a
campground that is convenient and yet large enough for Red Rover and
Tige. Country View doesn't quite fit that, but it is better than the West Allis Fair Grounds (large
parking lot), where we were in 2006, and Lake Lenwood (too far away with other unpleasant issues), where we stayed last year.

The office building is a dead giveaway that this was a KOA Kampground at one time. |
 |
Nice pool. |

Country View is located on a Southeastern Wisconsin hill which isn't very high but does give great views. |

Many of the camp sites have facilities for the weekend campers. Just like in most family campgrounds, The weekend campers start
arriving mid-afternoon on Friday. Pop-ups, travel trailers, kids, bicycles, lawn games, grills....and on Sunday around noon, the
campground empties as all head home to get the workweek started! We try not to leave on Sunday, rather sometime mid-week. |

Since this is an old KOA Kampground, the sites are very small. Not enough space for Red Rover
and Tige.
It was a real challenge getting into the site. |
 |
Tige and Sparky fit in the site. But not Red Rover. |

Leaving is going to be a real challenge. We had to use part of the site across from us to get in.
You can see Sparky down between the motorhomes on the right. We will have to swing across the sites
across the road from us to get out. We hope the sites will be empty. |
 |
Red Rover was stuck down in the storage lot. Unlike last year at Lake Lenwood, he was within
walking distance.
There, we had to drive to get the things we forgot to unload from Red Rover to setup the site. |

One of the joys of the Full-Timing Life Style is the ability to visit family and friends.
While in Mukwonago, Mark visited with two fellow salesmen he worked with when he was in Madison, WI. Mark, Terry Sheahan, and Dave
Breckenfelder (l-r) |
