Mount Vernon TT RV Park
Sept 6th-9th 2007 We departed the La Conner Thousand Trails RV Park and journeyed exactly 21 miles to this Thousand Trails Park at Mount Vernon, Washington. I guess you could say we are gradually making our way North. The Black Berries I have mentioned in the previous blog so I will not dwell on them but I can't tell you how nice it is to simply walk outside and grab a handful. This RV Park does not have the Ocean/Water theme but instead is nestled at the foot of the Western slopes of the Cascade Mountains. The roads within the Park are somewhat steep but make for interesting sites nestled over a rather large area. We are in a very nice site which has electric and water but no sewer hook-up but we really don't care about that as we are only booked in here for the four nights and our black tank can easily handle that length of time.
We have excellent cell phone signal here and broadband access through our air card with Verizon on our lap top computer, so life is good.
The Park has a very large lodge with one end being a huge fireplace. Today when I stopped in to check it out a small group of campers were taking line dance lessons and it looked like fun. Next to the lodge is a beautiful pool and hot tub area. There are basketball courts, tennis courts, & pickle ball courts. I also saw several horse shoe pitching sites. We had accumulated a rather large load of laundry so while I snooped around the facilities Kathleen completed that task in a rather nice laundromat on the first floor of the lodge. There are all kinds of events scheduled for those of us camped here but I am just looking forward to kicking back and checking the insides of my eye lids from time to time, so will opt out of the scheduled activities.

I have taken my scooter on several rides through the complex and on some of the trails. When doing this, ones tends to find hidden gems, and this morning I did just that. What I found will be the basis for its own blog entry soon. Stay Tuned.
