Lake Erie Winter RVing (Marblehead Lighthouse Viewing)
Рет қаралды 7,370
3 жыл бұрынMore Winter time RVing continues! This time we took our Nexus Wraith Super C to our old stomping grounds of Marblehead, Ohio for a weekend trip to East Harbor State Park and to the Marblehead Lighthouse State Park!
We ventured to our old favorite restaurant, Cleats and even drove by our old house which is up for sale Again!
Dave and Andrea from Following The Fitchs decided to creep on us and bring their rig out for the weekend to break in their 2021 camping season.
We love visiting the water and the ice just makes it that much cooler... no pun intended haha
We were going to be heading South after this trip but we decided to take the Wraith in to get another little upgrade installed, then after that we will be back out on the road to have some more winter camping adventures!
Stay tuned for more.
See ya!

@@WanderingWagners I've probably narrowed it down to a 2016 Ghost. It comes with the bigger chassis and used Wraiths are really, really hard to find. But, if it's the right deal I might take a Wraith. I'll let you know when I get something.
