It has been a long time since my last trip to Punderbunny!  November of 2011 if the site is correct.  Ten years!  And yet, it has changed oh so little.  A few more full hookup sites.  Precious few with better electricity.  Most as they were back then.  Not a lot has changed!

It was nice walking.  I can see Mike, WA8BXN!  I can see Ruth.  I can see Matt playing with Chris.  What great memories!

Temps are about freezing.  Light snow.  Enough snow on the ground to give good traction.  Nice walks!

It has been so very long.  I have to learn again what I need and what I don't.

FIRST OFF:  100 AMPS OF ANGRY PIXIES KEEPING A BABY MOTORHOME JUST AS TOASTY AS ANYONE WOULD WANT!!!

Overlooking the lake on the way up to the water tower.

 

Did a bunch of walking.  It's about two and a half miles around the park.  About two around Stump Lake.  I had forgotten how steep the hills around the lake are.

 

 

The playground and stairs from the bottom and the top:

 

 

 

I think they put in a nuclear powered outhouse:

I later learned that nuclear energy was not involved.  This is a water pump station that treats the water by removing the chemicals.  I do remember Punderson's water being mineral rich.

Four inches of fresh snow makes for a very nice walk.  Imagine the below all white.

 

Just a few days but quite the adventure.
