Some of the things Joanie and I have decided after over 45 days of living on the road is that the 3 most important items that matter the most when picking a spot to set up…location, location and location. By that I mean; location close to what we want to see or do, location that is along the route we are traveling, and most importantly location that is a desirable place to park, shower and feel safe.
Along our routes we haven’t accomplished the “desirable” spots we were hoping, in some locations, and will strike those off the list on any future trips. And some locations met some of the requirements but not all…we certainly won’t knock the Grand Teton camp sight because we felt unsafe, they can’t control what bears decide to eat.
What we have learned is that the best RV parks and most consistent in appeal are the State Parks each state allows us to camp in. We hit two home runs with Little Beaver State Park in WV and Pocahontas State Park in VA. Both are clean, beautiful in nature, quiet, and flat spots with water/electricity…we couldn’t be any happier. I, of course, hold my final judgement until we leave Pocahontas…found out today that they have bears. Spent this evening working sprint drills while Joanie was taking a shower.
Couldn’t find the Big Beaver.
Walk at Little Beaver…a little chilly.
Let’s goooooooo.
Only took four states to find the weather, heater kicked on last night.
Little Al resting in VA.
Set up at Pocahontas.
Hello WV.
Still smiling, well I am.
Hello VA.
Still…oh you get it.
You gonna eat that all by yourself?
Now that’s a view.
No worries here.
