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...

We are hiding out until the holidays are over... it was crazy here with the number of campers. Update coming later....

May 11th, up the Chewuch

 Today we went north up the Chewuch Road to 30 mile. This area had a fire the summer of 2001. There were 4 firefighters that lost their lives in this fire. All because someone left a unattended fire. It burned over 9000 acres of forest land along with the 30 Mile Campground. There is a memorial on the way to the trailhead. The road needs work, a lot of wash board, trees, rocks, water over the road... at the very end, large area of water to make it to the trailhead.

May 10th, up the mountains

 We took off first thing this morning to do our annual thing, go over the mountains. The snow was not a deep as some years, but the temp at the top of Washington Pass was only 49 degrees. We got back to Winthrop and had dinner with Emele at the Old School House. Great burgers and beer. I was awesome to see Emele. We haven't seen her since 2019...

May 9th, Pearrygin State Park

 Finally we got out of the Spokane area.  We were only planning on staying for a week, but we ended up there almost a month. But, we finally got Roxanne felling better! I topped off the fuel tank before we left, I was just above the half way mark... $120.00 ouch... The kids better start sending money... We now are in site #15. Not very level, I have my front tires off the ground. This park slopes towards the lake. I need get some 2"x6" boards for addition height. 

Still at Northern Quest

 Well, our plan was to head north after our week here, but, again things change. On the way to both of our dentist appointments, Roxanne's doctor called told her that he got back her blood work results. He wanted to go to the emergency room now. She spent the next several days in the hospital getting all sorts of tests. Her hemoglobin was just above 3... wow, no wonder she had no energy. Anyway, 4 pints of new blood and we got her back to the coach. Then this week she sees here doctor again and hopefully we will be heading the Pearrygin Lake on Sunday. I already had to cancel reservations before. The good news is Roxanne is already walking. Yesterday she did over 2 miles! Not bad for someone a week ago had to rest after getting a bottle of water from the fridge.

Northern Quest RV Park

 Back into Spokane for a couple of weeks. Canceled my reservations for Pearrygin State Park. We were looking forward to staying there for a while, seeing old friends, but, things change. We will be catching up on yearly doctor, eyes, and dentist appointments this next week. You have to take care of yourself before the fun. Roxanne has some appointment next week. Also, we found a few issues in the new coach and I will be able to get fixed. I am also looking forward to attending a ALR(American Legion Riders) meeting tomorrow and seeing friends. I miss numerous in person meetings due to Covid and being on the road.  During my 10 days at Steamboat State Park, I was able to get a few thing rearranged and more stuff for storage. First thing today I got the WiFi up and running on the coach. The satellite TV connected right away, not so at Steamboat. The TVs 4x4 was not working before and now it's up and running.
