Medicine Creek, NE was a great place to spend Labor Day Weekend, 2025. Finally after two years we pulled our 19 foot camper out of the quonset and took it down the road on a camping trip. The Farmer and I joined our son, daughter in law and her parents for a weekend of camping. No grandchildren were along on this trip as our son and his wife had just sent their boys off to college. We did have a couple of dogs along though to add to the fun. Ola and Bentley were the canine crew on our trip. Ola belongs to our son. Ola has her very own camp chair. It is a rocker and she does enjoy it. She is also willing to take other open camping chairs (muddy paws and all)! She is a Springer Spaniel, I think. She has lots of energy and really enjoyed her walks along the lake.
Sometimes it is so difficult to find a place to camp on a holiday weekend. This was a very nice place not too far from home and there were still camping spots available. We were all ready for a restful weekend of camping, enjoying nature, and some good food. It rained off and on for the weekend but it didn’t dampen our time together. We just put out the awnings and the easy up and visited, played games and enjoyed a nice fire every evening.
The sunsets over the lake were beautiful and very rewarding. It was delightful to see families with children of all ages just enjoying all the time outdoors with no tablets and other devices. Even if they were along there was no internet available or much cell service. Kids went swimming, boating, enjoyed outdoor games and just had fun being together. All in all it was just really nice and enjoyable. Thank you, Jenny for inviting us to go along.
