Goose Meadows NF Campground, Truckee, CA:  After 10 days of “roughing it” we leave tomorrow to head home.  It wasn’t exactly roughing it, but we had no hook-ups.  Our solar panels keep the batteries fully charged, and we have our shower, etc.  But in order to fill our water tank we have to fill two six-gallon plastic jugs from the water faucet here at the campground and then transfer them to our tank.  And to do that Mike had fashioned a pump with two hoses (one sucking the water out and the other flowing into the tank) which makes that part of it much easier. But once we fill them Mike still has to lift them into the truck.  6 gallons of water is very heavy. We headed to the Laundromat and grocery store, came back and put everything away and then started getting ready to leave tomorrow morning.   Played Aggravation again.  I won again.  Yes!
