We had planned to discuss options with Bill regarding our site situation. As it stands now, we still don't have satellite reception, and the cable system they use is very poor compared to normal standards. The system provides 36 channels, and none of them are crystal clear. Staying in this site without satellite is not an option for us. Bill had to go to Fresno for the day to attend a conference, so we have to wait until today to talk to him about it. In the meantime, I searched the Internet for possible portable dish solutions and decided that, if worse came to worse, we could pick one up that would work for us for around $100. Not too bad. We would then be able to use that dish as an alternate solution anyplace we go where we can't get satellite reception with our roof mounted, automatic dish. We'll see.
Josie went into the office for a couple hours to begin her training with one of the staff members, Joyce. Every place we go has a different system for reservations and different procedures for the retail store and general campground operations. This one doesn't appear to be complicated, at least not yet. Joyce also gave us numbers of (staff) sites to check out that may allow us to use the satellite dish. While walking around checking them we found that there were a couple that would work for us so we need to talk to Bill about switching to one of those.
We took a trip into Sonora to the Satellite TV store when Josie came home to see what ideas they might have for our TV dilemma. They suggested we contact DirecTV and discuss options with them. We also priced the dish that they sold and discovered that eBay's price was much cheaper. No surprise there.
Today will, hopefully, settle that issue and we can finally get set up for the long haul in a site that works for us without any further expense. At any rate, we are enjoying the area and hope to get out to see more before we begin work officially on Monday...
