Motor Home Living - Part 2

Motor Home Living - Part 2
 
  Yes, we have moved to full time RVing.  I took a few months to figure out that we wanted a 5th wheel for the best support of our type of lifestyle.  We settled for a new 35 foot Montana with 3 slide outs.  We also had to upgrade our pickup to a Ford 350 Diesel.  It handles the rig with very little effort.

  Getting ready for this extreme lifestyle change was hard at times, but refreshing at the same time.  I think our kids thought we died early, since we gave them most of our stuff, and sold the rest in garage sales.  We also gave a lot of items to goodwill.

 We managed to only need to store personal stuff in a 10 x 10 storage unit.

  Our adventure started as soon as we sold our home in the Seattle, Washington area.  Our official dated date was July 1 of 2006.

  We started at Fossil, Oregon to see the Blue Grass festival, then to Bend Oregon to take care of some logistics for long term travel.  We then headed for Lincoln City, Oregon at “Chinook Bend Resort”.

  From this point, I will be trying to review the resorts and point out good and back items that happen to us as we go.  My big concern is access to the internet, clean facilities and friendly service.

  Chinook Bend Resort: Oregon Coast
  This was a bit of a surprise.  We really liked this one.  First of all, the owners we wonderful.  They went out of their way to make sure we were happy.  If you like a happy place to go and great September Salmon fishing.  You really need to visit this place.  If you need internet, they provide wireless at the lodge.

Paradise Cove Resort:  Oregon Coast
 This is truly a fishing RV park.  This place ranks poorly with us.  The people seemed bored and non friendly.  There sites were primitive and do not provide internet.  If  you like fishing, this is a great place to go, however, do not depend on getting any personal attention or service from this place.

Pacific Holiday Resort: Long Beach Washington
 
This is a fresh and clean resort.  However, there is no internet at all.  The sites a large and the beach access is wonderful.  The facilities are clean and the employees seem very friendly.  If you are looking for a relaxing place to stay, you will like it here.

Ocean Mist RV Park - Ocean Shores, Washington - KM Resorts
 
Well lets start with Internet again - NOPE!!.  I guess they do not care that you have to travel to the main town of Ocean shores to use your wireless laptop.
  This park was a real let down.  The facilities were dirty and not kept up.   We also found the parking to be a real mess.
  The staff was friendly, yet didn’t seem to be on top of the park.  The beach access is nice, but its just as nice at all the RV Parks.

  Lost Lake RV Park - Olympia, Washington
 
Be ready for a sales pitch.  These guys want to sell you a lot.
This place was pretty nice once you got use to the Railroad Trains and Gravel pit trucks.
They do have wireless internet, very clean facilities and a wonderful mini lake. 

  Pier 4 - Sunset RV Park and Resort - Moses Lake, Washington
 Nice place, but they are not pet friendly at all.  Get ready to keep you pet in.  They do not want your pets on the grass at all.  Nor do these folks have internet.  The facilities are pretty nice and the folks are friendly if you do not have a pet.

  Yogi Bear’s Camp Resort - Cheney, Washington - KM Resorts
 This is a great place to take kids, but be careful where they tell you to park, even if you are a member of KM Resorts.  Try to image, going to up a large dirt road hill, with trees and then curve downhill and find out you have to back in a new 35 foot Montana 5th wheel to the side, on side hill.  It was a night mare, but after 2 hours, we actually got setup.
  What really killed me was walking down to the nicer area, that said members only.  It was green and flat with nice lots.  Good thing we purchased a membership with KM Resorts.
  This place does have internet, but you must pay for it and get a new password everyday.  The clubhouse and activity center is nice, but I am to mad to appreciate it.

  A few days later, we finally went own to the office and asked if we could be moved to the lower section.  They agreed, and we moved right away.  We also told them that I was a Square dance Caller, and before you know it, we got asked to hold a dance for the park on that Friday night.  It was a hit.  See pictures below.

       

  Our next stop is Newport, Washington.
