New Members from Wisco
Greetings from Wisconsin! My husband and I will be taking ownership of a new 23ws in just a few weeks. We’ve both been absorbing as much information as we can on these forums as this will be our first travel trailer, and we look forward to meet as many of you as possible! 
I’ve been backpacking for a couple of decades, but haven’t been part of a travel trailer family since my childhood. My husband has not been a camper at all, so this will be an exciting new adventure together. Now that we’re both retired we hope to do some exploring around the country at our own pace in our new Roo.

Thanks everyone! Just called Rockwood today to see if we could schedule a tour of the Roo production and see our baby Roo (Joey?), but surprise - it's already off the line and on the way to the dealership! That's about 2 weeks earlier than expected, looks like we'll be in our new camper before the end of the month after all.

Western Waukesha County between Dousman and Eagle. About 5 minutes from Southern Unit Kettle Moraine State Forest - Ottawa Lake. Seasonal site is outside Montello.

Welcome from the Town of Vernon. Also have a place up in Three Lakes. Thats where we keep our TT. Up there last weekend and checked on the TT could barely see it thru the snow white out that was going on. My dad had a place on Long Lake up in Phelps.
Beautiful country. Have fun.

Breul - we're on Long Lake too! Do you happen to know the Hazen Inn (Hazen Lane) property?
Yes, we had a good snow up there last weekend, more coming tonight...winter never lets go without a fight.

Thanks to all of you OH folks - we'll be in your great state in a couple of weeks to pick up our little Roo at RV Wholesalers. Thinking we'll probably spend the night nearby before making the drive home the next day.
Anyone have any experience at Grand Lake/St. Mary's State Park? Favorite sites?

My dad lived off of Scholz Lane near the dam on the South side of the lake. Owned 23 acres just so no one would build close to him. Think Charlie Ryqua bought his place about 15 years ago. Just took a look on google earth. Property looks pretty much the same. Lets get the ice off the lake soon for fishing opener!!!
