Let The Sun Shine

Every once in awhile, all the conditions come together for a great outing. This weekend was one of those. After seeing the weather people promise 70's and clear skies for this weekend, I called K&M and made reservations for Maple Grove Resort in Randle, WA. After telling our friends Loren and Gwen about our intentions, they decided to tag along and join us for a couple days worshiping the sun.

This is a resort we have heard alot about, both good and bad. In looking at reviews in Campground reviews RV Park Reviews some people had been critical of this park. Wet and muddy conditions were noted as well as narrow sites. I wanted to check it out as we may stay here on the way home from vacation in a month or two.

Lori, Walt and I hit the road about 330 on Friday and were met with heavy traffic all the way south till we got off the freeway. As we headed east on Hiway 12, traffic was heavy but moving ok. Soon we were at Randle and see the sign for the campground. We cross the bridge and can see the park on the left. What a beautiful RV park. We pull in and soon find it is a find your own spot park. I hate these as we cant ever make up our minds. All the end spots were taken, so we opted for two spots in the middle row of the full hookups. Very long sites, but as reported earlier, kind of narrow. We were in the park and finishing setting up as Gwen and Loren along with Land Shark, AKA Cooper arrived. Cooper was glad to see us, especially Lori as she is the one with treats and soon we all had dinner out of the way and we sat and enjoyed each others company.

Saturday morning brought sunshine and warming temps. We all headed to the indoor pool and Hot tub for relaxation. It was a very nice facility and we had a great swim. Very clean and well kept up.

Lori, Walt and I headed out later that morning for a Latte. We saw the stand about a half mile from the campground and decided with the nice weather to walk. They were very nice and gave Walt treats and water as we sat on a picnic table and enjoyed our coffee. We made it back to camp and all of us goofed off. We could tell it was getting close to dinner as the barbecue smells started to sift through the area. Again, socializing and alot of laughter made the evening go to quick. We slept good that night and were up around 730. Back off to the pool and an enjoyable dip. We packed up and said our goodbyes and headed out.

Only weird thing all weekend was the electric water heater went out in our trailer. I will get that fixed before we head to Memorial day weekend. We still had the gas heater, so we had hot water. On the way home, I rounded a corner and you could see a large swarm of something ahead right on the hiway. When we drove through it, the splatters of some kind of bug covered the front of the truck and I am sure the trailer. We kept going and found later that we had a huge mess on the front of the trailer.

After we got home, I had to wash the trailer and now we are all set for memorial day! A fun weekend and great company.
