Almost Perfection!

Tall Chief #75  November 21-25, 2016

When we look for a campsite within a campground we are looking for 5 things:  Wi-fi, over the air TV, 4G, clear south view (for DISH),  and privacy.  This site had the 1st three and not too bad for the last two!

When we arrive at a campground, we typically un-hook the toad and use it to drive around looking for that ideal open spot.  Pat uses an app that shows us if we're going to get satellite or not while I check for wifi.  Before full-timing, we would just look for privacy!

Note the satellite placement on a stump to the left!!
The other reason this was almost perfection is we finally remembered to do all our homework in researching routes so there would be no surprises and got into our groove when it comes to taking down from one campsite to setting up in the next.  AND in NO RAIN!

We slowed down a bit this stay and took TWO down days where we got to go for a walk, run a few errands, catch up on email, banking etc. (because we have wifi!).  We got to have one of our favorite traditions of "cheap chicken Monday" from Albertsons (but apparently the cheap part is only in Vancouver - no Monday special here!).

Yesterday was a great day visiting family and sharing laughter and a delicious Thanksgiving meal together.

We're about ready to leave to head back "home" to Vancouver for one day for final good-byes with our small group friends and other family.  Then the real adventure begins where we are "on our own" and making decisions about where to go, how to get there, where to stay,  how long to stay and what to see while we're there (sounds exhausting!!).  

Until next time!!
