Camp property found, now updates.

Covington is an hour drive away. Not sure how long it takes us on the 6x6 drive in, but can't be very long. Its a rustic mile in.

An hour is a good distance for a getaway. Close enough where you can go and work for a few hours and not feel like you wasted a lot of time.

When my folks lived in Sioux Falls, they had a lake cabin 3 hours north. It was an ordeal to make the trip for a weekend. Literally 25% of the time was driving.

I know a bunch of the lake properties along the border lakes between MN and SD are owned by people in the TC. 4 hours each way. Fine if you are retired or have flexible work.

Really happy y'all found a place.

My uncles house was a little over 4 hours, yes that was a chore driving and we always tried to stay for at least a week.

We will be head back there on Saturday and Sunday to meet with the previous onwer. We are allowing him as much free time as he likes so on Saturday, we'll be there to ask the many questions we have. Then on Sunday as the leave, we'll grab the Kodiak atv and go back in and grab things that need to go to the recycling pile.. Here is the trailer we picked up yesterday. I got nothing done to it and it still sits on the trailer this am. It is rated at 1800lbs, has torsion bar suspension plus power dump.

Oh that little trailer looks sweet, exactly what you need!!! It will do a good job with the clean out effort, but will also have tons of uses around the place for years to come. Fill that baby up with firewood and dump it right in front of the woodshed, perfect!!!

I'll need to check it out better in time, but at this point, I will switch the 1,7/8 ball to a mini pintle hitch this fall, which is the same as our grooming implements use.

Packing to head down to Covington Camp now and its near freezing there now. The previous owner wants to head south earlier than he had previously stated, but that's OK with us. Will try to haul new cargo trailer and 6x6 down at the same time. Will bring lots of construction garbage bags with us.

At least you Don't have to worry about winterizing water or waste systems at camp Covington.
