Blue Mesa Rv park and Gunnison, Colorado (8/30/20 to 9/10/20) Blog post 114

We had to leave the beautiful town of Ouray, Colorado and headed to the Blue Mesa Rv Resort in Gunnison, Colorado. This park is located across the highway from the Gunnison Lake. There is a nice Gazebo that overlooks the parks private catch and release pond and Gunnison Lake. The Wifi and cellular service is non-existent. If we wanted to make a phone call or check our emails, we needed to drive 11 miles to into the town of Gunnison. One day, we drove into Gunnison for Neil to see an optometrist. Coming out of the optometrist office we saw a couple of deer feeding on the trees at the optometry office. It was absolutely amazing to watch them.

We payed it forward. Yesterday when we arrived at our new park, Neil noticed our neighbor having a problem with their dog getting into their rv. She had cancer 4 years ago, but was left with very unsteady back legs. Neil told him how we lost all 3 or Goldens between 4-6 months ago and that ramp was the only way to get all of them into our 5th wheel. His dog has mastered the ramp in 1 day where it took our dogs weeks. There are 2 quad ramps zip tied together, choraplast zip tied to ramp and then a carpet placed for traction

Manager threatened to terminate our Thousand Trails Membership; 2/2023 (Out of order)

Image
7/8/24 UPDATE WE WON! See unofficial ruling below! We won our Court case against Thousand Trails Management Services and Equity Lifestyles the Parent company for falsely terminating our membership!   On 6/27/24 We had our Court case where the judge read all the evidence submitted. The VP representative for Equity Lifestyle tried to evade the judges questions as to who owns the Soledad Canyon  RV park in Acton, CA. He kept trying to say that the name "Thousand Trails Soledad Canyon" does not exist. The judge asked- I am confused- who owns "The Soledad Canyon RV park", to which he responded " MHC  Thousand Trails". Judge asked who own "MHC Thousand Trails" to which the VP responded very quietly "Equity Lifestyle Management"! The judge asked about if there was an offer to settle and the VP said yes we believe we offered $2000 but they declined. The judge then asked if we attempted to contact to settle to which I responded yes Judge multipl...

Willow Bay Rv Resort in Nine Miles WA and Thousand Trails Newport/Diamond Lake KOA July 2021(Blog post 159)

Image
From July 5-8, 2021, We stayed 3 days at the Willow Bay RV resort via our Coast to Coast membership. The views were spectacular, but the park not so much, fortunately we paid 0 dollars. Some sites have only 1 pedastal for 3 sites that have to share causing 1 of the people to have to back into site.  This park is also has no sewer hookup, nor a dump station. If we have to stay at this park again, it will most likely just be for a 1 night stay. We left Nine Miles and headed to Newport, Wa to the Thousand Trails Newport and Diamond Lake KOA.  When you enter the park the registration is on the right where the KOA and dump stations are located. There is no sewer at this park and they make sure to tell you when you arrive and the many signs also indicating no sewer.    The sites are first come first serve with water and 30 amp service. We found a incredible site nestled in the trees, though the power pedastal was on the opposite site of the RV. Luckily we had an extension ...

Biking on the Trail of Coer'd'Alene in Wallace, Idaho July 2021 (Blog post #158)

Image
 We arrived to the Blue Anchor Rv park in Osburn, Idaho for the 4th of July holiday.  Just a 2 minute bike ride out of the park is the Trail of the Coer'd'Alene. The trail is 73 miles long and paralles the Cour'd'Alene river. We rode on the trail several times during our stay. Several hours after arriving we set out on our first ride, heading west, riding 6 miles. The views were so stunning. The next day on 4th of July, we set off, this time heading east on the trail. We rode through the town of Wallace. It was a really cute town, and looked like a great place to relax outside and eat, but it was too early in the morning for us to stop to eat.  We found many places along the trail with plenty of shade and picnic tables or benches to sit and enjoy the Coeur'd'Alene river.  We had such a wonderful time riding this trail and plan to ride more of the trail on future visits along the trail.
