2025 Campout #1 - Babler State Park

More than half the year has gone by and I am just now getting the FIRST camping trip in for 2025. By an unofficial measure, this might just be the second latest start to a camping season I have ever had... Second to last year which saw the 2024 season kick off August 12th. That means it's time to get moving! With the weather finally handing me a great weekend, with temps in the lower 80ºF range, it was PERFECT weather for a trip! This would be no ordinary trip either, this would be a planned short trip as it would be the first with my 4-month-old kid making this his first of many camping trips! To keep it VERY simple, in case things go horribly wrong, this trip would take us to Dr Edmund Babler Memorial State Park for one night. Of course, I would prefer a 2-night minimum but again, the outcome of this trip is completely unknown with a 4-month-old onboard so plan for the worst and hope for the best.
