Good Sam, Apricots, and Moochdocking

Last weekend we went out with the Appleland Sams, our local chapter of the Good Sam Club. We manned a courtesy booth at a prominent rest area on Highway 2.

Many people made a stop here while traveling over Stevens Pass. We greeted folks and gave out cookies and coffee in exchange for donations. We raised several hundred dollars for our charities.

Several rigs camped out for the weekend.

Here is Donna and my brother Jim and his wife Eileen.

After the outing, we got a call from Bruce and Carol, that the apricots are getting about ready to pick.  We officially started the season Friday. We will help pick, and pack the boxes.

Here is Bruce, Carol, and Donna.

And me!

Saturday, some of Carols siblings showed up and we all did some serious picking/packing.

It was pretty hot out. It was a good time for all.

We also had an opportunity to do a bit of moochdocking. Our friends Eric and Jeanette offered to let us park our rig at their house while we work in the orchard. They have a nice long concrete driveway, with sewer connections, a 30 amp outlet, water and a cable tv connection too. We are very blessed to have such good friends.

We drove the 27 miles from Crescent Bar to their house and got set up in no time.

What a great spot. Crescent Bar was 27 miles away, and we would have burnt through the diesel fuel driving to the orchard and back each day. Now we are 3 miles away.

Fun times galore!
