Thunderbird is a nice park and we are sorry we couldn’t stay longer
but we are on the road today, only 60 odd miles and just over an hours drive to the
next TT in La Conner. We take a quick
stop off at a Walmart enroute and head to the TT camp. It is down a long, tree lined road and we arrive
early enough to hopefully get to choose a good site.

The recommended F/HU site with 50 amp is taken and the rest they advertise
are reserved for permanents so we are thinking once again we are shafted by
Thousand Trails!! We are pointed in the
direction of the south loop where there “was” one FHU site but it is taken too! We drive most of the loops trying
to find a site which might suit, ie long enough and flat enough, eventually
arriving at site 252 which is free and looks OK, but it’s not flat and it has no outlook –
except for a propane tank etc and our front wheels are off the ground to make
us level!! Ppffft - not happy again with
TT! The couple along from us are waiting
for the maintenance team to come and sort out their power – good luck, we’ve
been there!
We agree, after discussion and under sufferance, we will
stay here tonight and look for a plan B tomorrow. However, after a couple of hours of chilling we go for
a walk and get to suss out some better sites, there is one which overlooks the
lake and we can probably get in to it. So we go
back to the make do ‘poxy’ site, pull in
the slides, retract the jacks, stow the loose stuff and make our way to Canoe
Lane and slot ourselves into site 130 - overlooking Skagit Bay! Heaven!
This TT campground has gone from zero to 9/10 in 10 minutes! We are now happy to stay here for the three
nights we booked! Our neighbours are
nice, the scenery is amazing and the campfire is still warm from the previous
campers! We will be able to cook over an
open fire tonight! We are looking over
the beautiful calm lake, just a track way and the sun will set right in front
of our motorhome!

The only WIFI is at the family/common area, which isn't so far from here but we do have OK
cell phone coverage. We can also get some TV channels here which makes the boy happy!
Yum, steak and onions cooked on the outside fire, baked potatoes in the embers, a bit of salad and another not so tiny tea!

Yay, all caught up with the blogs, sorry to keep you waiting!
