Fireworks and an Accident

We pulled into the Lucky Eagle’s RV park Monday afternoon.  It wasn’t a long drive but we needed to rearrange stuff we had pulled out of the “cabin”.  Every time we move from the cabin to the motorhome it seems to be quite an event.  This year it has been a little more difficult than last.  We talk about selling.  Then, we talk about keeping.  Right now we’re talking about selling.  Only the future will tell.

The RV park at the casino isn’t at the casino.  Well, if you don’t have slides, you can park in the RV area by the hotel.  We have slides so had to keep on moving.  The other park is a mile or two away.  It’s a nice place.  The sites are big and there is room to spread out.  We moved into a site and then went to the casino to give their buffet a try.  Sometimes we love them and sometimes not so much.  This was one of those not so much times.

The RV parking itself was great.  Sites were level and lots of green grass behind the RV.  Although, there were a few major downsides.  One downside was the intermittent cell signals we received – both Verizon and AT&T.  Thus, our phones and internet were on again and off again. However, that wasn’t the worst part about  it. 

The worst part of the RV park came from the dozen or so fireworks stands about a half a block away.  They didn’t just sell the fireworks.  They kept blasting them too.  The blasting continued off and on all day and all night.  Duchess was going bananas and so were we.  Even though we had paid for two nights, we only stayed for the one.  We had to move on.   It was miserable. 

We pulled out fairly early and continued on our way north.  Our trip didn’t progress as fast as we thought it would.  We were held up by an accident that closed down the highway in all directions for several hours.  Eventually, we were able to inch our way to the exit and leave the backup behind.  Thank goodness we were close to the front of the line and not at the back.

Knowing that it was a holiday weekend we weren’t sure where we’d find a place.  We hadn’t really intended to leave until after the holiday weekend was over.  We were hoping we could find a place that wasn’t full.  We were lucky.  Not every place was full. We’ve learned beggars can’t be choosy at times.

We normally like staying at the Elks but had heard the one in Port Townsend was closed.  Not so!  The only thing that closed was the dump.  The SKP park in Chimacum is actually one of the few SKP parks we  like other than the fact it’s not close to town.  More on that later………………

After getting setup we went into town.  I love Port Townsend and we have reservations next week right on the waterfront.  Tuesday the weather was gorgeous and I took some pictures from the back of the site we had reserved.  Awesome!

Terry wandered around and ended up at the Pygmy Kayak company.  He always drools over their boats.

Then, an amazing thing happened!  Terry fixed dinner for us and served it on our very best china!  What a wonderful dinner it was.  On a hot day nothing hot sounds good to eat.    And, the day was very hot for this area.  We have a weather antenna up and it recorded 91 degrees.  I’m sure it didn’t reach this temperature in town by the water but it still had to be quite warm.

We THINK we have an agenda worked out for the next month or so.  We THINK we do but you know how well chalk works.

‘Tis life on the road.

It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I'd much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure.
