Potlatch Resort, LaConner

With last hugs to Leslie and Bill, we left Tall Chief Resort this morning and again headed north. We took I 405 to I 5, then took the Conroy exit towards LaConner. It's sorta of funny that our Son-in-law Scott works in LaConner (he works for the Swinomish Tribe of Indians), but had never heard of this RV park. It's a very old one that is part of Advance Resorts of America. It's part of the Resorts of Distinction system, so we are able to stay here for a week without charge. It's actually located next to the North Basin Marina.

Potlatch is small and old with only 68 very narrow short sites. One of the fellows across the road from us said he had been coming here for 30 years and you can tell the sites were made for the much smaller rigs of that era. The couple of short internal roads are one-ways and all the sites are back-ins and 30 amps, though they do have sewers.

We had lots of attention as Forry was backing into our site. The fellow across the way was telling him what he should do and the man from the office came out contradicting what the first man was saying. It makes it hard to park when every male in the vicinity thinks they should help - it can get very confusing. I heard that they have had two bad smash-ups this year from people trying to back in, so I could understand why they were all antsy.

We haven't been over to check it out yet, but I understand they have a very nice indoor pool. Daughter Mary Mae suggested that maybe the Grandkids could come over tomorrow and spend the day with us and use the pool. That should be fun.

We are looking forward to a fairly heavy dose of Shakespeare while we are here. Scott and Granddaughter Claire are both appearing in the Summer Shakespeare Theatre. I think we'll see the Merry Wives of Windsor and Hamlet both this weekend.
