My favorite Thousand Trails campground\nis Grandy Creek in Concrete, WA, despite having been to almost every\none of their facilities in the nation. Fortunately for me, today was\na travel day and we left Blaine and took the hour and a half drive\nsouth to Concrete where we are scheduled to spend the next thirteen\ndays. Other folks must enjoy this facility as well because to get a\nlengthy reservation here, we had to book our stay about a month or\nmore ago. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tThe drive south on I-5 was pretty,\nuneventful and short. We got off the interstate west of Sedro Woolley\nand took a back road into town and then we picked up WA-20 for about\na 15 mile drive up the magnificently beautiful Skagit River.\nCleverly, we arrived right at the earliest time we could check in.\nOnce inside, it looked like we were going to have to initially select\na site without a sewer hookup but my sharp-eyed spouse noted that one\nof the campers in one of the prime locations was scheduled to leave\ntoday. Peggy walked over, tagged the site and we sat down to wait an\nhour until the former tenant dribbled around and checked out late. He\nhad not gone 50 feet from his site when we pulled into it. Our site\nisn’t one of the very few with satellite TV reception but it has good\nWiFi and full hookups with 50 amp power. We don’t really require 50\namps (normally 30 is ample) but here we can run our ice machine, air\nconditioner, microwave, 110 volt refrigerator, stereo, TV and all our\nlighting simultaneously without popping the breaker. We were all set\nup by 1:00 PM. There is a great big pooch named Charlie next door. He\nis gorgeous.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
