Livingston, MT 9/13/12

Since we required a shower (W/H on the blink) we altered course and stayed at the Rock Canyon RV Park, just south of Livingston, MT.  Mistake-  expensive ($74 for 2 nights)-  should have stayed on Hwy 12.  Pretty setting on the Yellowstone River, but the park is small and   crowded.  Neat paved walking trail across the highway for dog walking.

Hoisington KS, 9/24/12

Well, its Kansas.  Outstanding ATT 4G connection as well as Verizon.  Zippin' around the Interwebz, for sure.

 We are staying at the Hoisington RV Park, which is actually the edge of the parking lot behind the Hoisington Recreation Center.  Perfectly servicable for all that.  50 amp electric and water hook-ups for $15.  Hoisington has a grocery store and a Mexican restaurant-  what more could you ask for?

Gothenburg, NE 9/19/12

Another little gem of a park.  City-owned Lafayette park, full of huge old cottonwoods and just a handful of people.

30 amp power (but we were able to tap both receptacles on the power pedestal) water and a dump for $15 night.  Hot showers were extra nice.  Great walking trails around Lake Helen.

The town was charming as well-  an outstanding stop along I-80.

Badlands National Park, 9/16/12

Amazing beauty in this park.

The campground leaves something to be desired.  No campsites per se, just  electrical boxes by the side of the campground road.  50 amps but no water, dump but no sewer, no showers.  $14 night with the Access Pass-  $28 would be excessive!

Very few of the campsites with power are oriented toward the view.

Beavertail Hill SP, MT 9/11/2012

Pretty park, but a little disappointing.  $25 for 50 amp electric, but no water, showers or dump.    Since our water heater is on the blink again, the NO SHOWERS thing is a problem.  Especially when our next stop will not have showers either and our fresh water tank is low...  Better planning needed.

Back to TX- first stop: Fairchild AFB 9/9/2012

Starting back to Texas -  we make it to Spokane and the Fam Camp at Fairchild.  $17/day, $100/wk.  Basic sort of campground, but a super nice camp host & hostess.  VERY windy.  We stay 2 days.

Belfair- the Case's backyard 7/28- 9/8/2012

We spend the month of August at friend Liz's place.  They are volunteering for the summer at the BSA camp, so nobody's home and we are here in the woods by ourselves, mostly-  just our cuppa tea!  Cellular reception sucks, but with a tall enough antenna...

While we're here, we replace the old torn canopy fabric-  not as hard as I'd feared.  Also work on the generator, not completely successfully, but at least we're ready to get underway again.
