We've been parked here at the Little Diamond Thousand Trails for the past 5 days, and it's time to move on down the road. We've enjoyed exploring this sparsely populated area of Eastern Washington, which, before arrival, is not exactly the geography that I imagined. I thought most all of this area was high plains, but in fact, it is mostly all forest, with lots of lakes and rivers. Day before yesterday, we toured a development about 7 miles out of Newport, that is specifically aimed at RV'ers. www.springridge.us
After looking at the parcels which range from 2-20 acres, and the very reasonable CCR's, there were a couple of parcels that we seriously considered buying. If not for the one fact that we would feel obligated to use and improve the land during the summer, thus limiting our time to travel and explore new areas, we might have pulled the trigger. As time passes, and the memory of the property fades, we'll probably be glad we didn't tie ourselves to a piece of land. On the other hand, as the choicer parcels continue to sell, we may kick ourselves for not buying one, and having it available for future use and development. I guess time will tell.
The plan for today is to head west on Hwy 2, and take a slight detour up to the Grand Coulee Dam, then continue west toward Puget Sound. Not sure how far we'll get, but at 4pm, I'll be parking somewhere, cause the drag race from Norwalk, OH will be on the tube.

The summer of 2008, I worked as a supervisor for the Glacier National Park transit system in N.W. Montana. During the summer of 2009, we decided to travel, and completed a 5 and 1/2 month, 12,000 mile loop around the U.S. and Canada. During the summer of 2010, we traveled mostly in the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon & Washington. We spent the summers of 2011 & 2012, working at the Grand Canyon, where I drove a transit bus, and Patty worked in the General Store. The winters have mostly been spent at our home in Lake Havasu City. We recently relocated the home base to Tucson, AZ.
