We're taking our first trip away from the yard in two days.  Stevie does Shakespeare in the park this time of year, so her and I, and our two fur babies will be heading to Richland, WA to the Ye Merrie Greenwood Renaissance fair.
We've rehearsed by yard camping three times and with the exception of setting up the rdome or using the shower, I think we have a pretty good handle on what to expect.  I'll give a full report when we get back.

Have fun!  I remember that fair from when we lived in Spokane and Seattle, but back then it was probably much smaller than it is these days.

Used the shower for the first time in the pod today! Leave the door open and the fan off while showering. Nice to not use the creepy campground shower!

First day and night in the books here at Wrights Desert Gold RV park in Richland, WA. Has full hookups but I had to buy a 25ft coax cable to connect to the provided cable signal.  Also, I found that I have to turn off the antenna booster if I'm connected to cable.
I've noticed that some campers have their "stinky slinky" hooked up 24/7.  If they're leaving the black water tank gate valve open as well, I think that is problematic as the solid waste isn't able to stay suspended in fluid and will not break down properly.
This place is okay, but I'm looking forward to better quality parks to visit.

Day two... Begin!

Most people when camping with full hookups leave the sewer hose attached. And, yes it's a bad thing to leave the gate valve open when doing so. Very few campers do it a second time.. LOL.

It's normal to turn off the antenna booster to watch cable. That is how it knows which you are using. If you ever take that selector box out, the backside looks like part of the Terminators nervous system..

You would not believe how many RV'ers will not actually use their bathrooms.. Good on ya for making the step up.

We're at our next destination in Colorado Springs. With the amount of people here and limited amount of showers, I think I'll be using it for the next few days! My husband has been using it everyday, but I've been the first one up and it's been too crowded. Guess that teenage boy is waking up early tomorrow and vacating my floor space:)
