A quickie about the RV park life. We would have liked to book a place for a running 30 days as we have in other parks, but this one is different. First the price is high. These guys get $41 a day or $650 a month, almost twice what we were paying in Washington or Oregon, for half the amenities. This KOA only has 4 sites that the county allows to be for monthly rental (taxes and stuff). I mean it’s all mud and grass, so what the heck is the diff. The only site that we could have used on a monthly basis was further down in the trees and with our satellite TV system that’s a no-no. At the owner’s insistence, we actually unhooked the bus from its present position, moved down into the woods to give the TV a try and after an hour of trying to make Dishnet perform, gave up. We then moved back to our original site which is a weekly rental site. Rules. So now we have booked for a couple more weeks at our present site, which will take us up to the 27th of December when we must move from this site. The difference here is like now we are in FARM country and the place last month in McMinnville or even on Whidbey Island was like the Hilton.
