^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Holy spinning propeller Batman, that’s a sweet looking boat. :lol:

I remember that boat from the good old days of Batman.

Funny, I was a little hesitant with this boat as my memory of Glastron boats is that of a lime green tri-haul square fronted ugly beast. But, after looking at their more recent boats Glastron is right in line with other manufacturers.

It is pretty amazing what an extra 20 feet of water does, this is Kettle River CG today, all the sand flats are covered. There is a nice southerly breeze off the lake, so the 85 degrees feels much more mild. Very few bugs. If you had a cruiser you could anchor and just ride out in one of the two lagoons. This is really a gem of a campground for this area.

And it is practically deserted. Too close to Canada for Americans, and no open border for Canadians to drive down from.

BTw cellular is pretty spotty around this end of Lake Roosevelt, but this CG is in the right spot, I have 50 Mb download speed with Verizon, enough that I could stream videos. Many of them have zero cell coverage.

Beautiful pics John. We’re planning to be at the Kettle Falls campground in a couple of weeks for several days. Sure hope this heat wave breaks but at least the water is refreshing. When we were there a few days ago this campground was pretty deserted too.
