   The trip to Giant City State Park part 1

   Well, another great 3 day trip.  Again, had just about perfect weather   
   for this one.  Hiking temps were right about 70F with a nice breeze.  No   
   bugs at all.  This place is about 6 hours south of where I live, and the   
   drive was not easy as the crosswinds were pretty strong.  Halfway down I   
   just set the cruise to 61 mph and let everyone pass as they wished.   
      
   The campground didn't have a lot of people and I would say was about 1/4   
   full.  The place has adequate shower facilities, but no water for   
   individual sites.  Just 30/50 amp hookups, which worked fine for me.  Of   
   course, they do have a dump station for campers use.   
      
      
      
   First night on arriving was perfect with no neighbors.  Enjoyed a nice   
   grilled dinner and a fire and cigar after.  Love being unsupervised   
   again.  Where I had the hunters moon in the Kettle Moraine 2 weeks ago,   
   it was very dark the three nights I was here.  I do prefer camping with   
   good moonlight as it kinda gives off a good vibe.   
      
      
      
      
   First hike was nice.  Did a leisurely 6.53 miles with 507 feet of   
   ascent.  Trails were very good and markings were just about right.  I   
   did some hiking alone, and some shared horse trails.  Didn't have spider   
   webs across the trails on either type.  Just a very pleasant day hiking.   
     Never saw either another hiker, or any horse people all day.  Had it   
   all to myself.   
      
      
      
      
      
      
   On the second night, I did get a neighbor who had a handful of kids.   
   They were all very nice and not loud and annoying.  But, they left this   
   damn blue light string on until about 10 PM that was very annoying as I   
   was trying to sit out by my campfire.  Gosh I wish people would figure   
   out how much all that light disturbs other people.
