We decided to take one more improptu camping excursion prior to taking the camper to the mechanic to get some much needed fine tuning. Discovered Spruce Run Campground that is just off HWY 26 about an hour's drive west of Portland. There was no electric or water hook-up but has flush toilets in the summer and was only $10 per night.



This was a good test of the camper without any hookup and everything worked great. We used the sink for washing all the dishes as well as for cleaning and only used approx 5 gallons. We also didn't know how much propane was in the tank so had it filled. Turns out it only needed 2.8Gallons so we weren't even close to empty but at least we now know it is full. The fridge started up right away on the first try as well and kept all our food nice and cold. I even had to turn it down from the maximum as things were starting to freeze up.
Campfire a blazing and all ready for our second night of camping fun. The site was also right by the river and we could hear frogs singing all night. We also got to try out the new LED lights which were amazingly bright. The front kitchen light fully lights up the sink and stove and the rear light was perfect for reading. I am still working off the single battery and had the lights on for over an hour with no issues

This a great night shot of how bright the LED's are
