South of Spokane

Thanks to a tip from friends, we checked into a delightful RV park on Williams Lake, 30 miles south of Spokane, Washington. Our RV looks right over one of the several jetties here, and as I sit here typing I can see Murray fishing in front of me. He has just walked over with a pan sized trout for me to put in the fridge, and he has returned to catch another to make up a nice pair for our dinner tonight. Good man! I took this photo from the jetty yesterday - you can see the front of our RV peeking out. You know if you want to see the photo better, just click on it to enlarge to full size.

Neighbours with a trailer have just moved in on one side of us. In all honesty, it has taken them a full hour to back the trailer in, put up the jacks, set it level and connect to power & water. It takes us less than 10 minutes to do the same thing with our RV. Why? For starters we don't have to unhook a trailer, we are 'all in one', plus our rig has an automated levelling and jack system which we control from the front seat. However, our neighbours now have the advantage of using their vehicle that they have unhooked from the trailer to get around with. We would need to tow a car to have that option, then we would take a bit longer to unhook the car before we backed into a site. Depends on what your lifestyle is like. Certainly, if we stayed a couple of weeks at most locations, we would definitely want a tow car. Because we move on every couple of days, we make do with just the motorhome. With the rise in fuel costs, we have talked of buying a tow car, and staying in one place longer. Who knows, perhaps our next trip...
