More Pluses than Minuses?

We’re now in West Virginia at Tomlinson Run State Park. The site we wanted to go in showed an error in the power when we hooked up. Error 2: Open Ground. Not safe. So we chose another site; no power there at all. So we ended up here. The power, though only 30 Amp, is good. The site is a pull-through, so you’d think it would be easy to pull in and set up. Not so much. See how the land slopes sharply down?

At the front of the trailer that slope reached the driveway.

Look at the difference in the blocks under our stabilizers. One side has just one plastic block, the other a plastic block and a six inch block of wood.

And believe me, we were as far over on the flat part as we would fit.

Between filling with water, changing sites and trying to get positioned so we could get unhitched and level it took us two and a half hours to get set up, a record.

But in the end it is a lovely spot.

And I certainly enjoy the view over the dinette.

To be fair they don’t have a lot of flat ground to work with.

Today we played disc golf. It wasn’t the best course layout we’ve played.

But it, too, was lovely. (Those light colored “posts” are actually tubes with tree saplings growing in them.)

There were some interesting baskets…

amid interesting surroundings.

And best of all there were trilliums blooming.

When we got back from disc golf we found we had a new neighbor. And he has a large dog that barked at us. And I found two ticks on Matey’s head.

Still, this is our first stay in West Virginia so we get to add a new state to our map…

so unless someone moves into that site I guess the pluses outweigh the minuses.
