Thousand Trails in Chehalis

Both of our parents are members of Thousand Trails. Dave and I have stayed at a couple of the parks (Las Vegas and Verde Valley). But last weekend was the first time we stayed in one in our own motorhome. We joined my parents as guests.

It was a nice park (preserve) - most of the spaces seemed large. Our site was great.

We had fun playing pool.

My Mom and I puzzled in the Adult Lodge. It was a warm weekend and to be honest we think they might be having a sewer problem. There were some serious bad smells in a few areas. Other than that hopefully temporary problem the park seemed clean and well-maintained.

One major drawback - most of the sites are up a steep hill. Our bike ride was a lot of work (on the way back to camp). I know... exercise is supposed to tough.

Thousand Trails seems great for families (with kids that like swimming pools) and retirees with time to use it. My parents stay at Thousand Trails a lot and love it. I don't think Dave and I would get much usage out of a membership though. We like to go and explore different places and probably wouldn't use all the amenities offered.

RV Envy

Been awhile since my last post. Lots of overtime and a family wedding in Houston have kept us out of the motorhome. Everytime I walk by our RV I feel sad. It's time to pack up and drive somewhere. Hopefully we'll have time to go in the next couple of weeks.

I keep seeing RV's on the road and wishing it was me in the passenger seat! We saw RV parks in Houston and Galveston. They looked nice from the road.

Wouldn't it be nice to take a long cross country trip someday? We could stay at the RV park I saw near NASA. Or one of the 2 parks we drove by in Galveston. We could finally visit Glacier National Park and explore Colorado. Maybe even Yosemite and the Napa Valley. Someday...
