Part 1: Days 25 - 27
Later that night I got a call from Mark, the camp host. He would wait for our arrival (even though he had Thanksgiving plans of his own).

Mark told us to use the main gate since the bypass to the truck and RV entrance is closed after duty hours, on weekends and holidays.
Mark's a great camp host. He gave us everything we needed to find things on base.

Mark gave us directions to the car wash with a special bay for RVs. We headed right over.
We continued to the gas station to fill up and stopped at the Jet Mart convenience store to check it out.

| Settled into Site #15 with clearing skies. |
Back at the RV park, we settled into Site #15. I fixed our Thanksgiving dinner (check the previous post) and we called it a night.

Today the weather was mostly sunny. It was a good time to get our dirty clothes to and from the laundry room. I didn't plan on doing washing this often, but free machines are too tempting to pass up.
We've discovered that RV parks on military bases are an excellent way to travel. They are well maintained, reasonably priced and have lots of amenities not always available at public and private parks.-- Wayne and Margy

I hope you're both doing well out there in your RV with all this rain.
ReplyDeleteIt comes and goes, with some nice sun in between. - Margy
DeleteDear Margy,
ReplyDeleteI hope weather is now more comfortable.
Wish you a nice day
greetings moni
California needs the rain and snow pack desperately. I can't complain. I was born and grew up here. - Margy
DeleteI didn't realize that military bases had RV parks. That's a great tip for anyone qualified to stay there! Hopefully, the weather will be kind for awhile.
ReplyDeleteAnd most fairgrounds that can be used when they aren't in use for fair activities. - Margy
DeleteIt really isn't simple, is it? You do so well.
ReplyDeleteBut lots of fun. - Margy
DeleteMargy - you continue to pick up and share excellent tips for all the RV travelers out there. Isn't it wonderful to find people and businesses that provide superb service?
ReplyDeleteOn our last trip I did something similar, but waited until the end. This time I enjoyed finding a tip that matched my post. - Margy
DeleteLooks like a great place to hang out for awhile. I read your previous post, too - how fun to celebrate 2 Thanksgivings!
ReplyDeleteYes, now that we have Canadian citizenship we get two of almost everything. - Margy
DeleteWe got 22 inches of snow Dec 1-3 in ALB
ReplyDeleteOh, that's a huge amount. Wayne grew up in Upstate New York. He swore he would never live anyplace that had that much snow ever again. - Margy
DeleteAlways great to find friendly, helpful people. At times they seem a rarity of late.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many if you know where to look. When we discovered Powell River that's one of the reasons we wanted to live there full time. - Margy
DeleteLooks like you are having a fun and interesting travel.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your holiday season on the road.
Thanksgiving was fun on the road. We will be flying home for Christmas and to take a short break from RVing. - Margy
