We have officially started our great adventure by heading north and staying at the original Thousand Trails near Chehalis! Visiting dear friends on our way north to see family before heading south!
We broke one of our guiding rules right off! Arrive by 2:00 and never at dusk or later! With a late dental appointment to fix my broken tooth and a couple of other unintentional poorly timed errands, we got out later than hoped and arrived at dusk. Consequence: choosing a site because it's getting dark and not knowing where South and satellites are!
Firsts: Official trip towing. Arriving at dusk. Experience trying to find satellites. Dumping at campground dump station and attaching toad (car) while waiting for dump to finish!Lessons learned: follow your rules, hooking up at dump station works well if it doesn't hold anyone up!
What we are wondering: Is our DISH receiver really broken? Forums say the new Wally won't work with less than 3 satellites but DISH says it should so exchange it.
Highlights: Beautiful November weather, sunrise, fog "lake", visiting friends
Lowlights: learning about DISH and satellites (but great knowledge to build!)! Planning your next segment and the desired campground is FULL in November????
