A Move To The Forest.

I took Tuesday off since this is a 'move day'. I am working four 10 hour days so I will work Friday to make up the day. Kim, our Daughter is with is for a week. She is between quarters at Eastern Washington University. A little crowded in the rig, but no problems. We packed up and drove the 73 miles to the Thousand Trails preserve just beyond Leavenworth located in the Lake Wenatchee area. This area had a huge windstorm a week or so ago and lots of trees were blown down. This is a thickly forested area and downed trees were everywhere. You couldn't drive 50 feet without passing many trees that had to be cut with chainsaws to clear the roads. These are trees as big as 2 feet in diameter. And there is still snow everywhere.

We got checked in at the security station. No charge for our 9 day stay because we are TT members.

There are 276 campsites here and I think only 10 or so have been cleared of trees that have been blown over. They directed us to an accessible area to choose a spot. We had our choice of a group of 4 sites. We picked our way along all the downed trees to spot 276 close to a lake.

This would be a great spot IF there was no snow, we were closer to the lodge (for the WiFi), and there was room to wander around without running in to blocked areas. There was another 5th wheel 3 spots down. That's all that was in this area. I also could not get a satellite signal for TV due to the thick trees.

Maybe we won't be staying here after all. They are continually logging all the downed trees out of here, but I am thinking we may need to try this park at a later date.

Tonight we will weigh our options and decide.
