Hey, Marv, come on by any time. But a call or email should ensure that we are not working that day. I'd love to see the Piaggio if you feel like riding it up (or carrying it :rolleyes:)

At Beachside RV Park in Birch Bay, WA for the summer. Just a few minutes south of the Canadian border in western Washington. No room left for anyone to stay but if passing through perhaps we can meet.

Well Suz and I are on the road for a few weeks after being stuck in FL for a LONG TIME!!!

 

Right now we are in north AL and are heading to Howe, IN to the Doubletree factory for some work and to visit the youngest kid in Indianapolis. Then we head west to do some work in IL, IA, MN and then SD. We should be in Custer by the end of May and hope to harass Mike and Pat into some serious hiking!!f Maybe some fishing too!!!

 

In the meantime, at "Roger's Roost" in Monticello, Ray and Selma are RVport sitting and holding the garden down.

 

Anybody out there in the area??

We are still in South LA and found a beautiful place to use as our Base.

 

Cypress Bayou Casino, Charenton, LA 70523, 800-284-4386

 

It has BIG pull thru’s that are long enough for our 68’ with a 5' space between the 5th wheel and Firedog. Plenty of room for all of our equipment, including the 2 Motorcycles.

 

Downside: Very few trees, no bath house, washer/dryer or pool.

 

Upside: Big spaces all with 30/50 amp power. Very nice rubber coated table, 4 benches. All of the campers in this area are very nice. They pass daily to clean and empty sites animal puff can. Plenty of power & water pressure for any rig. Wonderful restaurants, everything from a great hot dog/ chili, cheese, onions, the works with a cold drink, including a cold beer for a whopping $2.00 to the finest steakhouse I have ever eaten in, dinner for 4 with wine including tip for under $250.00.

 

While speaking of food they also have a fabulous Seafood, Mexican, Oriental Restaurants all on property, starting service at 8 AM till at least 10PM daily, later on weekends.

ALL BREADS, including the hotdog buns, pies, cakes and pastries are made right here on property.

 

All of this for only $10.00/day, plus every 3 days starting with day one, you each receive a $10.00 credit on your club card for gaming. So, yes this breaks down to $3.33/ day after you figure in the credit.

 

Pets are more than welcome.

 

When you call to make your reservation, 800-284-4386, they assign you your sight number. After you pull-in, you can take your time hooking everything up, then call the parking shuttle, 800-284-4386, they come pick you up, take you to the casino to check in. The shuttle is always available to take you back or forth, even thou you are about a 5 min. stroll from the Casino.

 

We, as most of you know are from S. LA and meet at the University, right down the road, but have spent 3 weeks going to points of interest in the area. Most of these things are fee.

 

To say the least we are loving this life-style.

GREAT COOKIN'

Jim and Val,

 

We had to cut short our stay in west SD and didn't get a chance to get up to Rapid City for a visit. We will catch you in Wichita hopefully!!

We are in Twin Falls, ID. It looks like we willo be here for the next 90 days depending on how the wildfire season goes. This summer I am working as a loader/fueler for aircraft used for wildfire supression. Its kind of a fun job and we get to move around the country a little. Anybody in the area PM me and maybe we can get together.

Spent a week and a half at the Worlds of Fun campground in North Kansas City, Mo. The heat and humidity was extremely opressive, not to mention the daily thunderstorms, downpours, wind storms. We headed for cooler climes, and are now at the Albuquerque North KOA in Bernalillo, New Mexico. Nice place, great weather. We'll be here until Monday afternoon, then moving on to check out the Flagstaff, Arizona KOA for a few days, before heading to Phoenix to bake in the heat with some friends.

We have traveled a few hundred miles North to Muskogee, OK to get a little releaf from the heat. Right off Hwy 69 south of town. Only one problem, man it is HOT, upwards to 104. Leaving in a few weeks heading for Green Bay for a buddy's 40th Wedding Annv.

 

Then heading back down south to look for a place to park the Firedog, Trailer and kennel Calvin for seven weeks while Margie and I leave San Fransico 9-23 for a working cruise for a 30 trip to the S. Pacific, then Australia, remaining there for another 3 weeks.

 

We had planned to leave everything at a friends home in Denver City, TX, but last week he was involved in a horrible truck accident, killin him instantly.

 

A terrible loss of a very good person.

GREAT COOKIN'

We are enjoying the Town & Country RV Park just outside Palmer, AK for several weeks. We saw David & Abby go by, hope they run out of road and come back by in a few days on their way back down. The weather is just lovely with a nice dry breeze. The last few days it has gotten into the 70's. This full time life is a very good life!

Gene, if you are still in CDA I HIGHLY recommend that you go to the east side of the lake to Wolf Lodge Inn ??? the steak house - can't remember the official name. It is right next to Wolf Lodge Campground. It is one of the best steak houses in the country. You won't regret it. If you get to the campground say Hi to Dave and Janie - the owners - for us. We used to work there.....

Thanks for that info Jack. Pat and I are going to make a trip up to Glacier and on over to CDA next month. Going to take the Volvo and the 12' trailer to haul the Softail. Gone a week to 10 days.....Are they as expensive as the rest of the Rv parks up there? The Steak sound good as Ms Pat says were gona eat out,,,can't cook in the truck!!! do we need reservations? Will my 13.3' be a problem?

You NEED reservations if you go later or on a busy day. Almost every day is busy there - at least when we were there. But if you eat early - like you guys do - then you may get away without reservations mid-week.

 

Parking is tight there...they park all along the access road. So if you go early there will be parking along the access road and you will have no issues.

 

It is expensive, but worth it for a one-time feast. At least when we were there.

 

The campgroung is expensive IMO - about average for the area, or perhaps a little cheaper than the others.....but still expensive. There will be good parking for your truck at the campground if you stay there....and you can walk to the Inn to eat...there is a path through the woods, or you can walk along the road.

Hey, Mike. You've got to share a picture of that setup with us. I'd like to be there when you cross the border and the border agent wonders just how heavy that 12' trailer is. :)

Hi Larry!!

We don't do BORDERS. But we pulled a 12' uhaul from Tallahassee, Fl., up here to Custer,SD a few years ago..... Drove the truckers banana's!!! I pulled in all the weigh stations, with my RV only signs slapped on the doors, but not one of them even gave me a second look. Just waved me through. I thought sure I would get to exercise their drug dogs. I was kinda dissappointed!

 

Hey, JFYI, still don't get ABC,,,,,on the batwing, even after adding the winegard addition.. Must be a mountian in the path!!
