Hello from Edwardsville,Il
Jeff and Michele have only been camping for about 3 years. We have a 2018 Cougar 311RES 5er. It is pulled by a 2017 ram 2500 Cummins. We have six camping reservations for this summer and into fall, with the longest to Custer ,South Dakota in August. Most of our camping is within about 3 hours of home. When I finally retire, again, we will be looking at going south in the winter months. Thank you and stay safe.

We went to Custer a few years ago. It was a great trip.

Welcome Jeff and Michele!! You've found the best site on the web for Keystone products IMO. Lots of good and knowledgeable folks here so welcome aboard.
Hmmm, retiring "again" then heading south?? And you've got a new trailer??? It's cold in IL and the only place my hand ever was ever frozen to a car door handle.  Probably ought to just go ahead and retire again and head on down to enjoy the new trailer and warmth, and water, and seafood, and..... I'm hearing that the influx of folks coming here is using up our allotted amount of sun....so better hurry.

Sourdough. Thanks for the welcome. My wife loves when I work. You know the saying. We are leaving for Lake Pontchartrain next Wednesday for a week. I hope we steal a little sun from the friendly people of Louisiana.

Welcome from E. TN and formerly from Granite City, IL. I moved away from that area about 12 1/2 years ago and I'm enjoying the milder weather and beautiful scenery here. Congrats on the camper and the future retirement again. I'm going to retire again about 14-15 months from now.

Thank you. Staunton is where my truck came from from the dodge dealer. Hope it is warmer where you are than here. Tomorrow minus 20s with the wind factor. Take care.

Thank you. I lived in Granite City, then Jerseyville, then Alton...before finally moving to Maryville (Murvil), Tn in 2006. I spent a lot of time in Edwardsville in my younger days. I did a lot of dirt bike riding back then on some of the SIU property, and some of my best memories of that time period were those.....And the MRF....the infamous Mississippi River Festival back in the late 60s and early to mid 70s. I remember partying at the old Holiday Inn bar, up on the bluffs with Poco after their concert at MRF back in the day...WOW...I'm getting old.

Thank you . Yes we are neighbors. We also share the favorite close to home camping grounds. I'll be at Pere Marquette in June over fathers day weekend. Also Caryle ( Coles Creek ) 5-16 to 5-20. Might catch you on one of these dates. Thanks again.
