Settled in Fall City

We used the family lodge for the last time at La Conner yesterday to read emails and complete the blog. I was sure happy to pull up stakes at 9:30 and head for the Encore park in Fall City. It is the Tall Chief Preserve, and is very close to Redmond were we had our business years ago. We drove through heavy rain most of the way and arrived here at exactly 12 noon. We drove around the entire campground looking for a suitable site for our rooftop satellite to insure that we would get a signal and found one that is a wonderful, corner site, that gives us clear access to the southern sky for our satellite:

The sun break came just in time to take that shot and then it started raining once again for the rest of the day.

We still have to use the "honey wagon" service to have our tanks emptied once a week, but we have a great, 4G signal for our WI-FI and are very happy with the new location. We are much closer to Seattle where we have to catch the flight to Patty's next week, and are also much closer to Kristine's so that we can visit them again before we head out. There are places that we want to explore that were very familiar to us and it should be fun seeing the old haunts once again.

There was a power outage this morning that delayed our start to the day, but the electrician was here and discovered the problem and fixed it in a short time. These parks are getting old and the electrical systems need an overhaul, but none of these parks can justify the expense to do it right for today's rigs that require 50 amp service. The parks, for the most part, can only handle 30 amp service so we have to be careful to watch our use of power grabbing appliances. Everything else is good, so we are glad we made the change...
