What a wonderful trip to Coarsegold






Hi there everyone,


Well, it is almost time to pull up stakes and head back to our new Long term parking spot, but more about that in a later post. For now, we have had a wonderful four day weekend here at Park Sierra in Coarsegold California. The weekend started with me working from 6 to 3 on Wednesday and then driving the Honda home, hooking it up solo to our trusty Motorhome and heading off to Sacramento to pick up Carol and then heading to Park Sierra. This is a wonderful RV park and we are both really glad that we have become Escapee members.


While we were here, we were hoping to make it to Kings Canyon and to Sequia National park, but the roads are still closed for the winter. It has been a pretty nasty winter here this year. So, we have just been kind of bouncing around the Madera County area, just kind of checking things out. We saw a wonderful KOA here in Coarsegold that we would stay at if we weren't already Escapee's members. We took the dogs to a couple of dog parks so they could get out and stretch their legs. We also found Eddie, the wood sign guy who is making us a new 'The Andersons' sign which will also have bones with our dogs names on them as well.


We topped off the weekend with a very tasty dinner at the Buffet in Chukchansi Gold Casino which is right here in Coarsegold. We even won $20 at the slots right after dinner. Nothing spectacular, but it helped to pay for dinner! The view outside the dining room was wonderful.


Our departure on Sunday was a little clunky. Our new sign wasn't ready so hopefully, the guy will ship it to us and Rosie ate our sandwich which I guess I didn't hide well enough as we ran in to get our Starbucks. Oh well...


All in all, this has been a wonderful four day get-away. Carol and I both could get use to these three day work weeks!


Happy Camping! Eric and Carol

Our girls may love us, but if we leave food around - it's every one for themselves. Scooter got Jim's chicken breast just last week but we caught her just as she grabbed it.

We haven't been to that Escapees Park yet but have heard wonderful things about it.
