The Class-less Class

[Onthego]

We'll probably be in Q early in January.

 

Chalk or pencil only for plans. Had planned to move to Jojoba Hill Escapee park today but they are full. We could've boondocked until Friday but decided to Palm Springs instead. We were going there after Jojoba anyway. Also the bedroom remote was found under the bed. When the slide is in the is a hole so it jumped out of the holder and bounced on the floor through the hole under the bed. Now we have a spare remote. LOL.

 

The park we are at is doing Thanksgiving dinner tonight, we'll be free to watch football all day.

 

Travel safe everyone.

The class map says we are in Lake Elsinore but our pin is near Desert Hot Springs which is where we are. Not close.

Google is confused.

 

If the pin is on Agua Caliente from the entrance to Mesa Grande, then the town name is correct. Anywhere else in the park is wrong.

 

My guess is that Google has issues with the road names within the park. Another possibility is that someone supplied incorrect information.

LOL on the remote Jeff...bet you couldn't replicate that bounce move again if you tried!

We were hoping to get into JoJoba after leaving Q but, may have to reconsider if they're booked up in November. I'd think that it would be even harder to get in during the end of January? And to think that some people make sport of me for making reservations...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone...don't forget to leave room for some pie...

Thanks Dave. I moved our pin to the entrance of the rv resort and it changed to the correct city. Thanks again.

 

Roger, Jojoba Hills doesn't take reservations so you just "wing it". I know that's not your preferred method.

 

HAPPY THANKS GIVING ALL!!!!!

At least there is a park across the road from Jajoba and the one at the casino in Temecula to fall back on OR the $5 boondocking spots at Jajoba. We are considering Jajoba mid February but I'm sure it will be thin pickins. May just come back here to Casa Grande and pick up where we left off.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We had just stayed 3 nights at Pechanga Casino and might've got a spot at Jojoba on Friday but we would've had to boondock. The RV park across from Jojoba won't let us low-life Class C's in. LOL! Only class A's and Fifth Wheel's (no toy Haulers). So we moved on to Palm Springs area.

Jeff, it must have been the troll under the bed that snatched that remote! They don't usually watch much tv so this one must have been desperate. Maybe you haven't been feeding him enough.......

Those trolls like the treats you find when you move a seat cushion on a couch or recliner. Sometimes they find those around the edges of your mattress. Maybe you've been eating too much real food and not enough of those that leave tidbits behind. That reminds me I need to put popcorn on the shopping list.

Hmm, I didn't realize they didn't take class C's. We have never stayed there but while staying at Jajoba I go over to use there RC Airfield out behind the park. Oh well, their loss.

Yeah, Linda, I heard that they eat popcorn from under the drivers seat too. Hmmmm

This is a repeat but I want to be sure anyone interested sees it:

 

Emerald Cove is still my favorite RV park out of all the ones we visited. The membership we had expired so we didn't have the option of reselling it but I highly recommend taking advantage of the Lavin's ability to do so if you can.

Thank you Linda. I also forgot to mention that if you purchase this membership, you will also have the ability to sell it one more time.

[Wanderin]

We have to agree. Emerald Cove is one of our favorite parks too !!!

We finally got loose of Betty's web. Just a short drive to Beaumont, Texas so that we can get an early start and pass through Houston early on a Sunday morning. Then south to Padre Island for a few days.

Yea! You get to go south before you head north. I forgot your brother isn't heading out until February. Which is not a better time to head north but at least you get to soak up more warmth before doing so.

Well, it's getting cold around here at night. Last night it was 29 and it's supposed to be 26 in the morning with rain. Bad part is we can't sleep in tomorrow because we have to be at the body shop at 0600 so I guess I'll put the engine heater on before we go to bed. All of the body work is done now, but the 4 colors of paint have to be put on and then the Diamond Shield coating over that. Don't know how long that will take, but hey, progress is progress! We just drove through the main Tiffin parking area a while ago and it's full up. There are even three or four just arriving that will be in the boon-docking spaces. Sure don't want to be in that lot in the morning when everyone is lining up at bay doors half asleep. Now speaking of sleep I'll have to go to it earlier tonight ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The wind, my gawd, the wind. And more humidity. And this park. We won't be coming back here anytime soon, that's for sure. It's Mustang Island State park and the young girl in the office was so disinterested in her job. The sites are tiny and the table and shelter are on the wrong side. Oh well, we will spend the day shut in with our computers and our tv.

Yep, that's the Corpus Christi area for ya...and all that wind can blow salt air in from the Gulf. You can almost watch things rust. Spent a month there last year and we'll never go back!

That's the way it was here in Palm Springs. We pulled our big slide in Saturday evening and put it back out yesterday evening. Another wind warning today until 8 tonight. Spent yesterday watching tv. Including that debacle last night.

 

Travel safe everyone.

It was nasty in Mesa last night too. There was lots of rain and wind. Ick! Hopefully, that's behind us now and sunny skies are ahead. I really hate it that we can't watch the NFL games we want to. Dish convinced us yesterday to sign up for NFL RedZone to watch the Seahawks. We saw about 10% of the game as it switched back and forth to other games. We cancelled it just about as fast as we signed up for it. Of course, that was probably a game we didn't want to watch anyway.

Didn't know that Dish offered RedZone. We have Directv and just pay for NFL Sunday Ticket. It shows every game in full time. We don't pay the extra for their version of RedZone. The Ticket is expensive enough. Apparently, Dish doesn't offer the Ticket? I think that the only reason to add RedZone is if you are into fantasy football (which we're not) and like to jump around to check on how your players are doing.
