We are staying at the Thousand Trails park, Little Diamond near Newport, WA. We are here waiting to be called out to work at a California wildfire for the Mobile Sleeper Company we work for. The place we plan on parking the RV while we are gone (for who knows how long) is at our friends place in Deer Park, WA. They are already out on a fire and so we are expecting a call soon too. The temps are close to and over 100 degrees everyday, so we are doing this park with hookups till we go.
Here is a look at this park.

It is strange, half KOA, and half Thousand Trails
We soon will be leaving this park. We just had a 12 day reservation. We are going to go ahead and move over to our friends, Tim & Bev's place. We will be moochdocking there. I can get water at their place, but we will rely on our solar setup for power. No problem there, except for the very hot temps. So, we went to the local Harbor Freight and I picked up a Preditor 3500 generator to use when the temps require the use of our air conditioner.
The reviews were good on this one so we shall see how it goes. We are going to move in a day or so and will be using it.
Then....Bam! There is the phone call we have been waiting for. The California wildfire camp at the Beckwourth Complex fire needs additional workers. We leave Spokane International Airport at 0625 on the 15th. So we packed her up and made the 10 mile move to Tim & Bev's place.
Great place to park!
Thanks to them, we have a nice place to leave our rig. I have a brand new bottle of propane to keep the fridge running while we are gone. The temps were up there, so I got to test out our new generator. And it works perfectly.
A great addition to our boondocking arsenal. Solar is great, but sometimes you need air conditioning.
Next post ..... fire camp!
The Fergs out .......
Nice to have a place to leave your rig. Hope all goes well at Fire Camp!
