The first camping trip

We're camping at Sequoyah State Park, on Lake Ft. Gibson.  We picked up the trailer earlier today, and loaded up with all the stuff we thought we'd need for an overnight at the campground.  It's only about 20 miles from home, so it's a good chance to do our first dry run.  I had bought some clamp-on mirrors to enable me to see behind me more readily, and the one on the left side does indeed seem to help.  The mirrors extend out about eight inches beyond the edge of the pickup's regular mirrors, and the one on the left is slightly convex, so it does seem to help.  The one on the right side is somehow different and doesn't do much.  The pickup is able to make the short trip without too much effort, but I've started looking for a replacement that will pull the load more easily.

One thing we noticed immediately upon setting up camp was that I had forgot the TV.  I took it out of the trailer when we returned from Austin, in order to make sure it was in working order, and I left it at home.  Well, I've never had a TV on a camping trip before anyway, so it looks like the old Kindle is going to be the backup.  Everything else seems to be working fine.

The park is about a third full, even though it's in the middle of spring break, and the weather is pleasant.  Three campgrounds accommodate RVs, and there's a lodge and a nature center and a golf course, which I've played previously.  Paved hiking trails crisscross the park, which is located on a peninsula in the lake.  Altogether, it's a nice place for a first trip in the trailer.
