This is my Happy Place for many reasons. First, I get to see my daughter and her then-fiancé, now-husband. Although we’re back in a citified park, it’s the nicest one we’ve been in when in town (we’re .75 mi from downtown Napa) and nicer than most others we’ve been in for a long while. Quiet,…Continue Reading “Napa Valley Exposition RV Park”
The smell of pines is strong here! This is the busiest park we’ve been in for a long while, especially mid-week and the most kids we’ve seen since Labor Day. We arrived here on September 27, 2017, and are staying two nights. We hate the pull-through configuration here (but we did meet a nice couple…Continue Reading “Coachland RV Park”
Officially back on schedule on September 26, 2017, and resuming our original itinerary. Another overnighter. Not a picturesque place, but it’s clean and there’s no corn in sight. In fact, I haven’t seen for days now, so I think we escaped it finally! On the other hand, it was too windy to set up outside…Continue Reading “Winnemucca/I-80 KOA (now Silver State RV Park)”
An overnighter kind of campground for September 25, 2017. It’s acceptable although I’m doubtful that I’d spend a week here. Then again, I’m not sure what’s in the area so that could change my mind. We’re here only because of the enforced detour that prevented us from going to Yellowstone. After this stay, we go…Continue Reading “Angel Lake RV Park”
This is another less-than-thrilling campground. And there are more relentless Wyoming winds. Thankfully the wind was not as cold as what hit us in Casper. There is less site space than we had at the last place and it has my least favorite pull through configurations (I.e. Each pull-through faces opposite direction which means every…Continue Reading “Rock Springs/Green River KOA Journey”
We really didn’t care much last year for our first park experience in Amarillo, The temperature of 116 didn’t help (and it was NOT the dry heat we get in Vegas…lol) and it was too crowded for our liking. Therefore, we chose a different park this year, Fort Amarillo RV Resort, which is acceptable for…Continue Reading “Fort Amarillo RV Resort”
Well, I guess you can’t have a winner every time. Good thing we were at Springfield KOA in Rochester, IL, for one night only (August 14, 2017) because I felt like we took a giant step backward. (That said, it still doesn’t take the last place for this road trip.) Wifi is nonexistent. Boosted cell…Continue Reading “Springfield KOA”
We’ve moved from a woodsy, serene, and quiet environment to a hopping spot at Lake Monroe Village Resort. Fortunately, we were given a choice of sites and selected the “quiet” one, but that’s a relative term. We have golf carts going by every 5 minutes it seems. Looking back, this park is the first place…Continue Reading “Lake Monroe Village Resort”
We arrived at Singing Hills RV Park & Campground on July 28, 2017, and departed on August 1. This time we have more shade and a fair amount of green space. There is lots more tent camping here than we’ve run across in the past. We practically have a lawn. We wish our awning was…Continue Reading “Singing Hills RV Park & Campground”
I wasn’t crazy about Elizabethtown Crossroads Campground when we arrived on July 25, 2017–Stop #15 on Road Trip 2017. My first complaint was that our site had no trees, although (almost) all the other sites have very mature trees. (Since then, I have decided I prefer fewer trees on my site, but I like them…Continue Reading “Elizabethtown Crossroads Campground”
