We're going away for two nights

We brought our motor-home up to our niece’s place when we can to house-sit. We thought we might get away for a couple of nights so this morning we’re heading north maybe to Lake Indoon which is nice place to camp. My BIL will come to feed the guinea pigs and cats. We still have a bit of painting to do on the balustrade but that can wait till we get home. It is supposed to rain over the weekend so we need to get away now if we’re going to go at all. We will only be here a couple more weeks. I think we leave on June 3. The photo is from a previous trip. This is Lake Ninan and we will probably camp here again one night. The yellow in the background is from canola crops. I don’t think I’ll be taking my computer so I might be missing for a few days.

This is a pretty, calm and clean lake. We also have many fields covered with the yellow canola crops.

@JudyEv What a shame and here we have so much more rain than what we need.

We camped there last night but this year it is just a dry salt lake. The farmers are all waiting for rain.

I am stuck in the house and that will be my lifestyle now and forever. But I have memories to cling on to memories of travel I did to countries and countless places. Enjoy your outing.

Having memories and photos would be a comfort now you can no longer travel.

We're home again now. We just beat a shower or two of rain and we should get more rain tomorrow.

How lovely to have the chance to slip away for a few days Lake Indoon sounds like a perfect spot to unwind before the rain sets in

what a wonderful get away, enjoy yourself. I've been trying to get my hubby to get a camper for trip to visit the parents and my son a few hours away. I think it would come in super handy

We don't always but this time we free-camped which was good. Sometimes we do a bit of each. We have a toilet and shower but after a few days, you need to empty the toilet cassette and maybe top up with water.

@JudyEv we used to do a lot of tent camping when the kids were little. I think i'm over that, hotels are expensive so I figure this wold be the way to go for traveling to visit family. My oldest son & his wife are about 3 hours away with my first grandson and my mother is about 8 hours away.

@mom210 Now we're older, this suits us. We need a toilet in the middle of the night. Mostly we pay for a site and have electricity and use their showers, etc but this is working well for us. We had a caravan and 4WD but I didn't want to drive such a big unit. I don't really want to drive this either but it only needs a car licence so if there is an emergency I can drive it.

It was very peaceful and we were able to spend the night there again. However, the lake was dry this time.

Salt would kill most plants, hopefully when you go back it will be pretty again.

@rebelann There isn't much vegetation close to the lake itself but when it's full of water it's still pretty.

I'm afraid this time it was dry and covered in salt. We might need to go again in the winter.

We might be able to manage a couple of days without you as long as you and Vince are careful and enjoy yourselves while you're out camping. I'm glad you BIL can feed the animals while you're gone. See you when you get back.

That's true but at this time of year the lake was dry. But it was nice just to relax in the open air.
