Black Diamond, WA. June 2008

From Yakima we went to Black Diamond, WA. to visit Tom's family again before we headed for parts east. It's going to be a good while before we see them and Jo's folks again. Our plans are to continue east after this winter and we'll see how many years it will take to see every state in this beautiful country of ours.

We stayed at Sunrise Resorts' Lake Sawyer RV Park which is on the shore of Lake Sawyer. This park is the closest to Tom's family in all of Washington. In fact it's the only one anywhere near them. "Sunrise Resorts" is a "members" park. IF you are a member, you can get in for REALLY cheap prices. We actually got a percentage off from our price for listening to thier membership spiel. We have been looking into some park memberships since we are now fulltiming it in the motorhome. We took three days of hemming and hawing during which time the sales rep offered a few additional discounts and upgrades. But we finally decided to pass on the deal. Well, then the sales rep "remembered" that we got another big discount because we bought our rv from one of the rv dealers that they use to advertise with. Sooo...... we went for it and bought a membership into the "Sunrise Resorts" and "RPI" afilliated membership resorts. We will be able to stay in rv parks for cheap across the U.S. Yes there are proviso's blah, blah, blah...we can deal with it.

The next day we took off to Deer Park, WA.
