La Conner Thousand Trails

We drove the whole 20 miles yesterday without stopping to our new RV Resort for a few days.  We are now in La Conner, WA at the La Conner Thousand Trails.  It is a 111 acre preserve but Thousand Trails does not own the land that the resort is on.  Thousand Trails leases the land from the Swinonish Indian Tribe.  Since the land belongs to the Swimonish we cannot take any crabs, fish, shells, rocks etc. with us.  It is all theirs and as long as we respect that we can use their land to stay on.  It is a nice resort with 276 campsites and 21 cabin rentals.  The best part is it's location is it sits on a salt water beach front on Puget Sound.  To the west is San Juan Islands which you can only reach by boat.  The bay is really beautiful and so we took advantage of our location and watched the sunset.  It was a little chilly (about 48 degrees) but it was worth it.  La Conner TT has all the facilities except one; the cell phone coverage is terrible in the campground.  I can get phone service if I go down to the bay but by the campsites it does not exist.  This also means I cannot use my wifi so I have to rely on the wifi at the lodge.  My blog postings while I am here will be posted later than usual since I have to abide by the lodge times too.  That is the only downfall, otherwise this is a beautiful area and we are eager to check it out.  We will be going to Seattle tomorrow!
