Catch up....

 We moved into the Chewuch Campground on the 18th, moving from the Bobcat area. Site #16 was perfect for us, last of the RV spots with nobody on the north of us. The campground was not open yet, which means no water or toilet paper in the outhouses. This is our favorite camp in this area. The campground has 16 sites. The tent sites are next to the river while the RV sites are away from the river. The RV sites are longer, around 3 of them can handle 35' - 40', and pretty level.  

We were on the move every day. Trips to check out areas we haven't seen for a while... up the Twisp River Road... Road 5130 has 4 campgrounds and is paved half way. Over the North Cascades again, that never gets boring..





We went one night to the Twisp River Suites and listen to Emele sing. It was a small gathering but a lot of fun. They are going to do it again on the 16th.

We made a trip to Wenatchee and finally got our Covid vaccine shot. Checked out some campgrounds for future use, Lincoln Rock State Park, Daroga State Park, and Beebe Bridge Park.

Roxanne saw a poster asking for campground hosts at numerous campgrounds in the area. This was something we had always kicked around that we would like to do. We had been at each campgrounds in the past, but we spent sometime seeing if the new coach would work size and road wise. Black Lake is a wonderful and beautiful lake, but the road up is narrow and steep.  Lone Fire is half way to Washington Pass on Hwy 20 and would be a long trip for supplies and phone service. Klipchuck was a possibility, about 30 miles west outside Winthrop.  Early Winters already had a host. (with power and cell service). So, loving the Chewuch, we fill out the application to host that site, and were accepted... yeah... We start on Monday, June 14th. 

We came in to Spokane, Northern Quest again on the 6th of June, Roxanne had her doctor appointment on Monday, and we both have a dentist visit on Thursday. Then back to the Chewuch on Friday.

There seems to be limited data in the Methow Valley... on busy weekends, it's almost impossible to do anything online... The Chewuch does not have cell service... boo, hoo

    Hi my friends! Thank you Bud, for coming down to the Twisp River Suites to hear/see us playing Saturday night! It's always a nice surprise to have my little brother around! Ha! Good to see Roxanne as well with her radiant smile. Do you take boarders! ? I'm happy to be off the Banjo trail and home from Alabama.

    Stay cool. I'll be at the suites with Fred next week. John is going to a wedding. Emele

Fire Evacuation - July 16th

 So... we cleaned our restrooms Friday morning and took off to the Costco in Wenatchee. Had a very nice drive with a lunch break. As we approached the Twisp/Winthrop Area the smoke from the Cedar Creek fire look to be in the wrong place... The closer we got, I could tell it was up north towards our campground. We heard on the radio that the West Chewuch Rd was closed. Going up the East Chewuch Rd it looked to be behind us... Being the cautious one, I went ahead and got ready for a bug out. Just after disconnecting their propane line, the Deputy came by and said we need to move. Being we were on a dead end road we packed up and left. We spent about a hour at the 8 Mile Sno-Park before being escorted through the fire. It was pretty hairy with fire on each side of the RV. But, we made it out and went to the Pine Near Campground in Winthrop.

Back to Spokane - Northern Quest

We finally got out of Wilbur... The RV campground was not bad, but it takes a long drive to do anything. We had one of my daughters visit for a week, which meant numerous trips and a lot of gas. Anyway, we like this campground and it's closer to everything. I took the coach out to RnR so they can take pictures of the screen door and couch problem, then I added the no AC issue and a gasket problem on the main slide. I also checked in with Camping World and my parts for the tow vehicle are in and ready to go. Hopefully, someone cancels and I can get in sooner. So far my install date is the 13th. On the 31st, I purchase my new Off Season Pass for the State Parks... So, now we are in a wait mode, but we at least have a camping spot for the holidays... and maybe some casino time... The puppies are happy This keeps the bugs out, Fleetwood product

Car in tow

 After waiting weeks, we finally got the hitch put on the Jeep. It took Camping World two days for the install but it looks like they did an expert job. I had to cancel reservations until mid-October so now we are free to roam. I am a little out of my comfort zone, I like having reservations and knowing I don't have to look for a spot at night. Our first stop was Steamboat State Park. They just opened the new circle. We stayed in site #71, it was a back in site but there are pull through sites now. The new area is nice, new grass, paved sites, tent area... something very nice, the sites have two sewer hook-ups, one on the rear corner and one for mid-ship hook-ups.
