Part of a nice playground for the kids |
Gemstone panning station |
The inside of the KOA office was unique and had lots of interesting items. |
|
Ilse and Karen played cowgirl and rode the barrel. Can you see the lasso that Karen is swinging around? |
|
Painted signs in the laundry room at the KOA |
|
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 it. |
|
The recreation room had several unique things in it, but didn't seem that clean or inviting to the two RV Gypsies. |

The RV and toad of 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.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. |

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. |

Deer were often seen alongside the road entering the KOA. |
A squirrel found some food. |
