Saturday & Sunday August 12 & 13, 2017 - Taking it easy and Moving Around

Saturday Today we were going to drive to La Push - the Beach, but Steve didn't feel too hot, so we stayed at home (the RV). We walked the dogs a couple of times. It rained this afternoon so we were glad to be in the RV. That's about it! We paid some bills and Steve got his checkbook caught up. I tried to plan a route home in case Steve doesn't feel better. Sunday It was overcast and cool. We got around pretty good and left the RV Park about 10:20, hookws up raw pickup and gassed the RV. We actually started driving aboubt 10:45. It is a slow road - scenic drive on Highway 101. Much of it is along the coast. We stopped and watched the waves and admired the Pacific Ocean. An ugly Slug at the RV Park!

Then the drive moved inland - lots of beauty everywhere.

These are some abandoned Nuclear Reactors. Satsop Nuclear Power Plant, designed to house two 1250 megawatt pressurized water reactors. Construction of the Satsop Nuclear Power Plant began in 1977 and was halted in 1983 after a $61 million budget shortfall, leaving the plant 75% complete. The twin cooling towers that are part of the unfinished plant are a well-known landmark in the area. (wikipedia)

We got to Thousand Trails near Chehalis about 3:00 or 4:00 PM. Again this park is out in the country - 7 miles from a town of any size. It was a good time to arrive. We drove around and found a site. We checked to see if the Dish would work --Yes! it does after some maneuvering. Of course the RV is not level from front to back. The back is way downhill! Well we get to have TV so all is good. We drove to some small hamlet and got pizza in a bar and watched some Seattle Seahawk fans carry on with their pre-season game. That was amusing. This Thousand Trails park has a much better vibe. The sites are roomier. The place is quieter, fewer bikes, Yea! But also continues to have a poor cell phone signal. Oh Well, can't have everything. Roughing It Smoothly!
