There were the early birds who left the RV park before our alarm clock radio even came on. Then there were several who left while we were eating breakfast -- and watching The View. And a couple more while we were pulling in the slides and disconnecting the water and electricity. By the time we were on our leisurely way at a little after ten, the transient area of the KOA was pretty well emptied out. But, there were still a couple of more rigs who were just starting their disconnection process as we left.
Life is an RV Park is great if you like to people-watch. It is just interesting to watch the teamwork -- or lack of it -- between couples as they hitch or un-hitch. Some proceed very quietly, each knowing what to do next like a well-executed dance. Others keep up a constant chatter of instructions, usually male to female -- though occasionally female to male! And then there are the yellers. The ones who argue about every step in the process. The ones where one or the other stalks off in a huff for a while, sometimes coming back to help -- and sometimes not. And it's even more fun to watch people giving backing instruction...
We followed I-90 out of Billings as it turned south and headed into Wyoming. We came along the Big Horn Mountains through Sheridan and Buffalo, then turned east to Gillette where we are spending the night. There weren't too many RV parks listed in any of our discount or club books, but we did find a mention of Green Trees Crazy Woman Campground in our Exit Now Interstate Exit Directory. This is a bare bones RV Park with unmarked electric pedestals and water faucets in a graveled area for transients. There are some nicer shaded sites further up the hill for longer stays. It's a cash or check only place -- no credit cards. They do have good free internet wireless.
A couple months ago we pulled into a state campground where it was obvious they did not see many big rigs. People followed us down to our site to watch us back in. the park had double wide roads and we have been practicing our hand signals so we backed in as gracefully as a bird in flight. They actually applauded. Heh
