Red Rock NP, Kayaked to Emerald Cave, and E-bike around Las Vegas, NV (3/17/2021-3/24/2021) Blog post 144

We are back in Las Vegas, Nevada. We are staying at the Thousand Trails Las Vegas park. Oh this is a very very tight park. I think it is a given that if you stay at this park, plan on moving your tow vehicle multiple times to allow for your neighbors to be able to get in an out of their sites, but once in it is not a bad park. 

While in the park, we noticed a huge 5th wheel with "Switch it up" all over it and a green and black truck to match. I started following them (Todd and Shiela Konitzer) on YouTube, IG/FB. We did not know at the time that they would become one of our favortite to watch. One day as we were taking a walk, we passed by Sheila and Todd as they were getting ready to go out on a motorcycle ride. As we were passing I mentioned to them, that we just started following them, but I don't think they heard me, because of the motorcycle sound and we were wearing our masks (pre vaccination time). 



On another walk, I saw another Youtube family that we follow "Oneanchoredfam" Josh, Tori, and kids.



While in Vegas, we visited the Red Rock National Park. The pictures don't do justice to how beautiful and amazing the rocks look. In one of the pictures you can see rock climbers. We drove the 13 mile loop through the park, getting out periodically to take pictures. There are so many trails to take here.














One eveining we decided to binge watch Switch it up. Todd had just posted a video about a kayaking trip that they just did outside of Vegas.  We decided to go Kayaking to the Emerald Cave located on the Colorado River in Arizona. We drove 1 hour from Vegas to Willow Beach, AZ. The park entrance was $25 or Free with the National Parks Pass.  We launched the kayak and 1.5 hours later we arrived to the cave where we waited our turn in line for about 20 minutes.






(Pre-vaccination about to go into cave with many other Kayakers)

Bike Ride on the Angel Park and Bonanza Trails Las Vegas, Nevada


Drove to Angel Park in Las Vegas, NV. Took bike path from Angel Park all the way to the Bonanza Trail. Stopped for lunch and then back on the trail to complete a 5.2 mile ride. This was a fun ride, especially after we changed out our bike seats from the Velo plush seats that the rad power ebikes came with to the LaGOOn bike seat, which has made a difference on the rear end lol.

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.
