Last weekend we spent a very wet weekend camping at Ottawa Lake in South Kettle Moraine near Eagle, WI. The campground is decent with some electric sites, a beach, a fishing pier, boat launch, and a park. However, it was one of the very very few weekends where being home might have been better.
It started off with hordes of mosquitos when we first got to the campsite. I seriously haven't seen that many since the last time I went to Alaska.
Saturday morning it was hot - African hot. I tried to take a nap but could barely sleep it was so hot.
Then it stormed. Nothing clears a campground faster than severe thunderstorms and tornado sirens. After the storm, it stormed again... and again. By this point our campsite was filled with water and our screen tent had fallen (literally) victim to the rain.
The next morning we woke up and thought about making some breakfast but decided we should check the radar first... yeah, more storms on the way. We tried to pack up quick and get out but of course, it started to storm and filled everything with water.
When we got home we were greeted with the new carpet that had been installed in our previously 1970's rec room. And of course it was wet. Never had water in the basement until less than 1 day after new carpet was installed.
At any rate, everything is now dried out and looking good.
Here are couple pictures from the weekend.
