Workamping at Crescent Bar TT Resort - Quincy, WA - April 21, 2016

Crescent Bar Resort,

We have been here many times before. This place is just 25 miles away from our hometown of Wenatchee, WA. This time however, we are going to work here.

We are here before the season starts. The park isn't open to the public yet and there are a few folks who have purchaced 'Personal' spaces, and us workampers.

The place is pretty empty right now.

Karen & Cliff

Our rig.

 

Donna started Monday, the 18th, and has worked 23 hours so far during her first 4 days on the job. She has been working with my sister, Karen, and another workamper, Tammy. They have cleaned the cabins and now have them ready to rent.

Cleaned up the activity center and kitchen.

Now they are working on the restrooms and laundry room.

Tammy

I am being a house-husband right now. I will be taking care of the pool and hot tub areas later.

There are some professionals coming in May to work on the pool and hot tub. They will re-line the pool and install a second drain, and fix one of the jets in the hot tub.

Meanwhile, I have been taking care of some honey-do list stuff. I sanitized our fresh water tank, filling it with water and a cup of bleach. After a day, I drained it and re-filled it two more times. I also removed our inline water filter from it's old location in the electronics bay. I feel better that it is now an external water filter outside. Easier to change the filter now too.

I got some new hiking boots the other day. A good pair of Keens.

I totally wore out the last pair I had. I walk up the Crescent Bar hill every morning. It is a popular walking/jogging path along the roadway. It is 4.25 miles round trip and probably a 1000 ft. elevation gain to the top. I have about 25 miles on the boots so far and they feel great.

On the 19th, Donna and I took my sister Karen & Cliff out for dinner at Tijuana's Restaurant in Quincy. It was her birthday. They are also workamping here. It was a good mexican food, large helpings too.

That's what's been happening lately. The weather has been great. Highs in the upper 80s. The park opens in 5 days. My updates will probably become once a week for the next few months.

Life is good!

Crescent Bar TT Resort - Quincy, WA - April 17, 2016

We left Thunderbird TT Resort on Monday, the 11th. We headed south on Interstate 405 through Bellevue and on to Interstate 5. It wasn't a bad drive at all. We timed it right. Once on I-5, we drove through Tacoma and Olympia, right on down to Vancouver. Once again we stayed at the Elks lodge there.

We stayed two nights there. Candy and Erik came and spent the nights with us. We watched movies and Candy BBQed us a nice salmon dinner. We will see them again when they visit us in Crescent Bar.

We were off again, traveling down the Columbia River Gorge to Pasco. We decided to do another Walmart wallydocking stop there. Our second overnight in a Walmart. We were just going to do one night here and we headed over to Kim's house. We had dinner with her and then headed back to Wally World.

Here is a picture of KC (Kitty Cat), that we have had in our family forever. She's getting old, but is a wonderful family member.

Bright and early in the morning we headed out for our last leg of our journey. Just a hundered miles later, we were pulling into Crescent Bar Resort where we will be work Kamping for the next 6 months.

There is nobody there, except for some private leased sites. We open to the public on April 26th. We parked in space # 2, a good spot.

Karen & Cliff (my sister) are just across from us.

So far since we have been here, I have washed the Jeep and the motorhome. I have even changed the oil & filter in the Jeep. I have a pretty good 'honey-do' list of things to get done while we are here.

Sunday, we headed into town to visit our 'home' church, the Eastmont Community Church. It was sooo good to see all of our church family again.

Monday, Donna starts working here. Looks like I will be doing the pool and hot tub each morning. We'll find out more tomorrow.

Hey! We are working stiffs again.

LOL!!!!

Thunderbird TT Resort - Monroe, WA - April 10, 2016

It has been 10 days since I last blogged. What's up with that? Now that we are here in WA, time goes by pretty fast. And we really haven't been doing that much either.

On Sunday, the 3rd, we moved back to the Thunderbird TT, back to the same spot we were just in, too.

We were going to do another 8 days here. It rained for a couple of days, and we just kinda dinked around inside. After the rain, I did wash both the Jeep and motorhome.

We visited Tim & Shannon several times and even did an overnight to watch Roman & Ryker while they had a little getaway.


A bunch of little super heroes and 2 big ones.

A little T ball practice.

Ya gotta have a batter's box.

And a little golf too.

Break time!

Our two new cats.

And the big event for the week ... paid our income taxes. Boooo!!

Soon, it will be time to backtrack and re-visit our daughters on the way to Crescent Bar and our work camping gig.

Enjoying the Pacific Northwest again.

Tulalip Casino - Marysville, WA - April 1, 2016

We went and visited our Son, Tim, and Shannon, and our Grandsons Roman, and Ryker. The next day, Rome was going to spend the night with us in the RV. He was packed and ready to go by 8 AM.

They came over and visited us.

We watches 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.

And Rome got to experience a 'moving day' with us. He even got a front row seat!

The Thunderbird Thousand Trails campground we stay at when in this area didn't have a space available for us for the whole time we wanted to be here. They sell sites to members for annual or seasonal use and I can't believe all the 'personal sites'. It really takes away from us travellers. But we were able to do 2 nights there, and then resort to our Plan B.

Our alternate place to stay in this area is at the Tulalip Casino in Marysville. It is 29 miles away and is a good inexpensive alternative. On Thursday, we moved on over to the casino for 3 nights. Then we can get back into Thunderbird for our reamining 8 days here.

Our spot.

Rome and I walked around and checked out the casino.

The next day, we all went back to their house.

Rome & Ryker, playing with their toys.

Can you tell, they are into superheros?

Later....
