Wilson Reservoir on Saline River in Kansas

June 28, 2009

We are camped in Wilson RV Park in Wilson, Kansas. It is a FHU place for $18 but nothing better than OK. If you are looking for amenities this isn't the place for you.

We are on a bluff overlooking Wilson Reservoir a few miles north of Wilson, Kansas.

Happy Hooker Party Boat outfitted for Wilson Reservoir

This truly is a party boat. It has a huge grill on back along with two large deck boxes and an old rusty refrigerator.

From the decorations on this boat some serious partying has taken place on the deck.

If you are into a good redneck laugh you might like to see more of this Happy Hooker Party Boat.

This is a good string of post rocks ready for barbed wire to be stretched between them.

Wilson Reservoir near Wilson, Kansas

This is Wilson Reservoir and dam located a few miles north of Wilson, Kansas. This is a salt water lake. The dam impounds water from the Saline River. A local told us the river ran through a salt deposit thus the reason this lake is salt. This same local said fresh water fish lived in the lake so it must not be too salty.
