Below; The inside of the KOA office was unique and had lots of interesting items. |
|
Ilse Blahak and Karen Duquette played cowgirl and rode the barrel. Can you see the lasso that Karen is swinging around? |

Below: Painted signs on the walls in the laundry room at the KOA. |

Below: The pool that the two RV Gypsies never used. It had an 8-1/2 foot deep end. That is deeper than most campground pools. |
|
Below: Sign on a building about outdoor bowling, but the two RV Gypsies never made the time to try it. They were not in the campground long enough because they were too busy sight-seeing with Karen's sister, Ilse Blahak. |
|
Below: The recreation room had several unique things in it, but it did not seem that clean nor inviting to the two RV Gypsies. |

This was a nice, large campground, with nice workers in the office, but the roads were dirt and gravel, as are most KOA's. Check in time was 2 P.M. Eastern time, and check out time was noon. Late check-out and early check-in fees apply.As usual, there are a lot of rules, but all rules were fairly standard, such as no vehicle washing, no clotheslines, etc. About 10 TV channels came in at the site of the two RV Gypsies. The campground did have Wi-Fi at sites, but it was unsecured and extremely slow. The water pressure at sites was very poor. Trains were heard late in the evening and early morning hours, but they were not super annoying. |

Below: Ilse Blahak likes to photograph stairs, always from the bottom looking upwards. |
