And So We Move Again...

Staying in the driveway -- or in this case, in the front yard -- of family is nice, but there is one major drawback. The lack of a sewer is a problem. We could have run a long hose and used the macerator pump, but that is literally a problem of its own and Forry does not like doing it at all.

So anyway, we had been checking around at the various RV parks in the Mount Vernon area and had found a place that had an opening starting today. Seems like a lot of SnowBirds like coming to this area in the summertime and most of the parks have been quite full.

Riverbend RV Park is located alongside of the dike on the bend of the Skagit River.

The park is full, and the sites are really close together!

The nice thing about the park is that Forry has satellite TV reception!

From the RV Park, you can actually see the I-5 Bridge that collapsed a couple of months ago.We'll be able to walk up on the dike over the next few days and watch the work on the new span they're building to replace the temporary one.

In contrast to the rainy, chilly day we had a couple of days ago, today was sunny and actually quite hot. We knew that the person who was in our site wasn't going to leave until this morning, so we didn't get in too big a hurry to leave Daughter MM's. There is not enough room in the gravel road in front of her house to turn around, so Forry had to back Auntie Violet up the road to the culdesac where he could turn. Since it was only about four miles over to the RV park, we didn't hook up Toad II. I just followed Auntie Violet over.

There was an nice Mercedes Class C rig in front of the line at the office, then another motorhome, then us. The Class C rig driver pulled into their assigned space, but the wife stayed in the office. In spite of the fellow on duty telling her that he had two more rigs to check in first, she insisted she had to make reservations for both Labor Day AND Thanksgiving right now! Guess if you drive a Mercedes, you have rights...
