inside of the KOA office was unique and had lots of interesting items. |

 Karen's
younger sister, Ilse Blahak and Karen played cowgirl and rode the barrel.
Can you see the lasso that Karen is swinging around?

Below: The pool that the two
RV Gypsies never used 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 outdoor bowling. They are always so busy exploring areas outside
of the campgrounds. |

The recreation room had several
unique things in it, but did not seem that clean or inviting to
the two RV Gypsies. |

the two RV Gypsies in their new yard, a nice pull-through spot by a
campground road. Cabins were across from the RV, and tents were behind
the fence. |

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.
Any prices and campground rules mentioned on this website are always
subject to change as time passes.
As usual, there were 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 could be heard late in
the evening and early morning hours, but they were not super annoying.
The flowers were beautiful. |

Below: Karen Duquette's sister Ilse likes
to photograph stairs. She said she always photographs stairs going up
(like they are going up to Heaven) never downwards. Interesting thoughts. |

the road entering the KOA. |
