Great sites and plenty to do

We were here for a few days starting on Memorial Day. The campsites are very well maintained, shaded, and generally beautiful since we are surrounded by tall trees in the forest. There is a paved trail leading down to the river with a couple of workout stations along the way. You can take the unpaved trail back to complete the 1 mile loop or double back on the pavement. There is a great little water park that’s reasonably priced. Gem mining is on deck for today.

Here is something that only remote workers would care about. Verizon service is terrible. With my Peplink router including a roof antenna and grounding plate, I was able to work in the morning unimpeded, but couldn’t even do voice conversations respectably in the afternoon. We could not do any TV (Netflix, Hulu, etc) at night. Had I known this coming in, I would have adjusted my work schedule accordingly.
