Lucy loved the lake and actually went swimming this time. Her favorite thing to do was sit out in the screened room in front of the fan and chill. As usual she didn't love the drive but the car seat did help. She spent about half of the trip in her seat and slept and looked out the window.. That is a huge improvement and made us very happy. Thanks so much to the camp host at Table Rock State Park for that idea!!Our set up this time was awesome. We had the screened room and our site was right beside the path to a little beach area on the lake. That kept us from having to walk down to the main swimming area, although we did just about every day for ice and ice cream....of course. 😀 There are so many trails
and areas to walk in this park and plenty to do. On this trip the campground was fairly packed and bustling. We met so many people and dogs of course. Lucy made all kinds of friends. We have to shout out to Charles and Ashley and their dog Katie - they left us their awning on the lake and it was awesome and we left it for some kids who were there when we left. We also met the most awesome little dog named Bud...Lucy was in love with him and he tolerated her. He was quite the Man! 
This was the most moderate weather we have experienced so far and we cooked outside every day. The bugs were minimal and the sun was beautiful through out our visit. We could not have ordered a better week. It was also our 32nd wedding anniversary mid-week so we celebrated by going into Seneca and having dinner at the local Fatz restaurant. It was excellent and so much fun.Our youngest and his girlfriend came down and spent the last few days with us in a tent and we all had a blast. They canoed some and we all went to an awesome local Mexican restaurant for lunch on Friday. We found the neatest little general store and picked up some goodies there. It is stocked with unique canning jars, Lodge products, handmade goodies and so much more. If you are in the area do stop by The Burgess General Store and visit with Mark and Krystal.
We love this area and will definitely visit again. From here out until Fall this campground is super packed and hard to get reservations. Be sure to plan ahead if you want to camp here.
So far we are still loving Little Red and he has been very reliable and very little issues - always caused by our lack of knowledge or human error. The only thing on our list down the road would be a little larger camper - possibly a 177 or a little bigger. A walk around bed would so nice but we still love our little 166 and we can easily tow it with our Ford Edge. 
As far as gadgets on this trip we used our Coleman grill every day and it actually works better than our big gas grill that we use at home. We would highly recommend it to anyone who camps or tailgates ....or just needs to be mobile. The other real life saver on this trip was the "Pooper" - this was our first use of it because we were staying put for the week. We were so happy to have it. Being in one place and having relatively small tanks on the 166 it really made our stay so much easier. This is something we would also highly recommend if you camp a lot where there are no full hook-ups available or you just don't want to pay extra for them. It was quick and easy to attach to the back of the car and drive down to empty. It also made it easier when we left and dumped the tanks.
We have more pics of the lake on Greg's DSLR camera and we will put those up as soon as we get them transferred. Not sure where our next trip will take us but we'll keep you posted. See you on the road....
