Lake Chelan... I'm not really a fan

Time to move on from Yakima to Lake Chelan!

Oh, rain.

Lake Chelan State Park has a very different atmosphere than Yakima.  It's much more of a party park - big groups camping together.

When we arrived, we were a bit confused about our campsite at first and thought maybe there had been some mistake!


WHA?!!!

We were rebels and stayed on in this site anyhow - what were they going to do, kick us out?

No.  They weren't.

What they really meant is don't take your big trailer down that road!  Nowhere to turn around.  Lots of pretty tent sites, though.

The drive to Chelan wasn't the best, though we did take a route that was scenic and less mountainous than the usual route.  The worst thing that happened was when a guy passed us really fast, and one of those orange "men working" signs flew off the top of his truck.  Add to that a small car starting to pass us at the end of the passing zone (and not really in it at all) and we have STRESS!!!!  Fortunately nothing hit us, we didn't run anything over, and nobody had a head-on collision.

Fortunately, we made it in one piece.  It rained like mad when we were backing into our rebel site, but it cleared up quickly.  Just a short respite, as you shall see.  But while the sun was shining, here are a few of the things I saw...

Backing up too much of a hassle?  No problem, just push it!

Another vintage trailer!

One of two very noisy chipmunks residing nearby!

Transparent MATs!  Only $8.00.  And they're transparent!  See-through even!

Transparent!


Glamper - big earrings, flipflops, and a dress.

Not to be overlooked - it is very pretty here!

Lake Chelan


This park was okay, but I don't think it's very high on our "MUST GO BACK" list.  So it goes!

Trailerspotting

Trailerspotting - it's a bit like trainspotting, only there's no heroin involved.  No visible tracks on your arm, but the addiction is there.  Once you've got trailers on the mind, you're looking for them everywhere and noticing them where you've never noticed them before...

Last week when we returned from vacation, and began our second week or so of wanting a trailer (so badly, so badly wanting), I spotted this trailer just a few short blocks away from our house.  It must have arrived while we were gone, put in place to taunt me every day when I drive by to and from work.

What's this?  A trailer has appeared up the street from us!

Aristocrat Lo-Liner

An Aristocrat Lo-Liner, year unknown.  Just sitting there.  Winking at me as I drive by.  I'll be watching closely to see what the new owners do with it, if anything.  They don't mow their lawn much, or pick up their empty garbage can when it falls over in the wind (for days), and most recently they've left the windows of their pickup truck open... for days.

This isn't the trailer for us, but it's about the size we're looking for.
