Nothing like packing up, finding a safe home for everything, pulling in the slides, and hooking up. We hit the road!
Hubby had been working about 45 minutes from our last location so the commute wasn't too bad. Once his show up moved further north he was commuting 1.5 hours so a 12 hour work day was turning into 15hours! That's a long day! One of the reason's we have a 5th wheel is to not have to have the long drives, so we hooked up and hit the road hoping to find a new spot to call home for a bit.
The first park we came to and where we had planned to stay as it is only 5 minutes from show up was just not going to work. It was small and not many people there which was great, but it all went downhill from there. 30 Amps hook up's- not going to work with 2 AC's and W/d. Bugs galore! Standing water in the sewer pipe's, and not a spot big enough for us. So we hit the pavement again and headed further east. Google was showing us 2 more options close together and a bit of a drive from where we were. We decided to check them out after shuffling kids around because Knox wanted so badly to ride in the car. We passed the first option and it looked full so decided to check out the second. Pulled in and was welcomed by a bar/office. Hmmmm. Quick look around showed a huge college party going on, and a cramped camprground with spots right on top of eachother. We asked if they had any spots open and were shown the one right by the highway, that would have taken a serious job to try and get the trailer backed in, so we passed.
We ran back up the road to option #3. It looked nicer, and we noticed a couple IBEW stickers already set up. We figured this would work just fine until we realized the only other full hook up spots were backwards and n a huge incline. There was no way we could get our sewer hooked up. The guy offered to dump us everyday, but with a kiddo in Cloth diapers and 4 showers a day that just wouldn't work. So after it being a long day we dedided to let the jacks down and call it a day. We went on a nice hike and enjoyed the surroundings all evening. It was a beautiful "steam" that they call a river, with a ton of hiking trailes. Knox had a blast.
