Musical Sites at Cape Disappointment

We are camped at Cape Disappointment State Park. Last evening we watch as RV’s started trickling into the RV parking area which isn’t that big and for sure not that level. I’m glad we arrived a little earlier and were able to choose the best spot. Shortly the lot was mostly full. We had a good nights rest and a leisurely morning’s take-off.

On the drive here we passed through quite a bit of fog, sometime very heavy, but mostly it just shrouded the surrounding forest we were traveling though. It made the drive a little mystical.

We arrived a little after 1:00 pm and the ranger who checked us in allowed us to pick our site. I picked out a site which I thought would have a clear shot at the satellite and we proceeded on to our spot. Still time to catch the second half of the Raider’s game. Figures that the site I chose, the campers are late get out and are still occupying it. We tell them to take their time and we’ll just grab one a couple of spaces down. Debbie drives back the few miles to the ranger station at 15 miles an hour to officially change our site.

While she is doing the paper work I parked the Horizon. Leveled it up, connected to the power, water and sewer. Extend the tree slides and Ty takes up his position at the front door.

Before he goes out for a walk I want to set up the satellite and watch the end of the game. But after trying for some time, so long that Ty gives up on the walk, I can’t find a hint of a signal.

Apparently the trees along the side of the new site we moved to are blocking the signal.

We decided we could tough it out for four days without TV. Debbie worked on crocheting a baby dress and I used a slow internet. We made it about an hour of deathly silence before we started discussing the chances of acquiring the satellite by moving to our original site. Debbie made the 15 minute drive back to the ranger station while I reversed the above steps. Moved the Horizon over and then repeated the setup. Well the games over but we now have TV and Ty got a walk.

We’ll be here for four nights before continuing south.
