Seems like there alot of smaller campgrounds in the area that you can't find online. Anybody have any favorites in that area? You have to love waking up in the valley hearing the stream. Plus NO BUGS!

I like Eagle cliff between Whalen and Lanesboro. Not the place to go for a loud group who wants to party but perfect for a family with kids. Nice tent campsites right on the Root. I also like Beaver Creek state forest as well as Forestville state park.

I liked Maple Springs Campground located right by Forestville/Mystery Cave SP. Has a fun hike back to a cave located on private property(that the owners will let you access, and likely recommend it). The ownership was great, and it was well maintained.

We ended up getting a permanemt site at Dun Romin Park down by Caledonia for the year. Buddy of mine that went down to check it out said it looked nice and quite so we reseved a site without even seeing it. I have never spent much time in that area, but it is gorgous. Went down on sunday to do some fishing and I don't think he could have picked a better spot. Soooo excited to get this year rolling!

Theres lots of places to go. There is a very little known spot near lanesboro right on the root that is free to camp, easy to get and extremely pretty place. Its located at the bottom of the steep hill to the river at The forest resource center. As you pull into the center, go past parking spots and stop sign, take the first left past that, theres a Steep hil sign. go to bottom of hill and park off to the left. Theres a little path right there that takes you into a pasture and youll see the capsites and fire ring...Very neeat spot and literally 3 ft from the bank...Check it out...Tents only

There's a little state forest campground near the Zumbro River called Kruger State Forest & Management Unit.

Quite a pretty place, (at least it was last time were were there about 12 years ago) nice sites, away from civilization, decent privacy, mature trees, up in the hills, close to lots of different things to do on short excursions.

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
