Researching Options


The inconvenience of not having Wi-Fi, 50 amp service and no sewer hookup has caused us to lose patience with this campground. We cannot even get a cell signal to use our phones without going to the family lodge. Now that we have seen everything that we came to this area to see, we are looking for other options for our remainder of the WA time. We spent several hours at the lodge with our computers and Josie did laundry there while we researched other options and used our phones to make calls.
There aren’t many options for Thousand Trails campgrounds in the area so we checked out many other public campgrounds. We settled on moving to an Encore campground (Tall Chief) in Fall City, WA. Encore is affiliated with Thousand Trails and we get a big discount at those campgrounds. It costs us money, but none of the inconveniences are there. It also brings us closer to Kristine’s home and has storage capability for when we go to Patty’s for a week at the end of the month. We will make the move tomorrow (Sunday) and, hopefully, it will be our last move while in WA.

We finalized our planned visit with Justin yesterday. Kristine has arranged for all of us to meet at the Ihop restaurant in Marysville at 10 AM this morning. Marysville is where Justin lives and is about 45 minutes from our present location. It is between Kristine’s home and us so it means that she doesn’t have to travel so far to meet all of us.

The location of our new campground is very close to the area we lived in Woodinville, WA. So we may get the opportunity to visit our old neighborhood while there next week. It would be interesting to see all the changes in Lake Tuck which was one of our favorite homes that we had over the years…
