09/14/21 Tuesday Mt. Rushmore Trip Day 14
White River KOA Holiday
Badlands
Site 60



Well, it was the day to say goodbye to Beaver Lake Campground. Seems a little sad but we are ready to move on. We pulled out of our campground and went to the area in the park to fill up our propane tank. Mishap-Our electric water heater isn't working so our water heater is heating with propane. Something Barry will have to look at when we get home. 




The drive to the Badlands was only about 2 hours. This is the farthest East we go. After 2 nights here we head west.  When we arrived at the park we saved the $30 entrance fee because we had our Senior Car pass for the National Parks so it was free. We like free. We drove through the Badlands on the way to our campground. AMAZING and indescribable.  













  
We made it to our campground without getting lost. Checked in, parked, settled in for a bit, took a walk and found 5 jeeps but didn't finish our walk. We ended up meeting some people from Tennessee who also have a Newmar RV. There's is much newer than ours and they gave us a tour. Loved their RV. Made dinner, watched Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell. Waited to hear the election results for Governor Gavin Newsom recall and looks like he will survive the recall.  I was able to get caught up on my blogs and now to bed. Sweet Dreams All.

Week 52 – Theme "Future" – 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks This is my first year working on this year-long weekly writing prompts provided by Amy Johnson Crow and posted on her Generations Cafe Facebook page. I will do my best to write something each week.  THREET FAMILY PHOTO FUTURE PROJECT Back Row-Billie Mack, Donal Dean, Samuel, Wilma Sue, Willie, Floyd Junior, James Elice Front Row-Ernie, Sylvia, Bruce Travis, Clara Marie, Sandra Kay, Roger Dale The above photo is of my father’s family. My father was born Billie Mack Threet, AKA Billy Max Threet, and has ten siblings. I do not know when he changed the spelling of his first and middle names. This is a something I would like to narrow down in the future.  Another 2022 future goal I have is to write a small piece about each of his siblings and parents. I don’t know much about the early years of dad’s family or vital records dates, but my future goal of 2022 is to try to write down what I do know and possibly learn something new. H

My Man! Steps today - 14,442 Saturday, and so much for sleeping in. The Reynolds daughter Brook, son-in-law Aaron, granddaughter Kensley, and grandson Arik arrived this morning. Soon we heard Kensley and Arik at our door to say hello. They seemed excited to see us, and they gave big hugs to both of us. Then, they told us about school, and everything they have been doing, as much as an 8 and 10-year-old can say to you. Then back over to abuela and papa's RV.  Soon after, we were off to Pismo Beach. We drove to the left, went as far as we could, then turned around and headed toward the far-end gate. The part of the beach you can drive on was so short compared to before, but it was due to the recent storms. The Reynolds were ahead of us, and as we passed the first gate, a guy flagged us down. His truck was stuck, and he needed a tow to get out of the hole he was in. Barry said sure, and I texted the others to let them know what was happening. They pulled off of the beach highway and w

Pacific Coast Village Site #382 JEEPS - 5 (Tuesday), 22 (Thursday) We left home on Monday, June 26th , for Pismo Beach. We are staying at Pismo Coast Village RV Resort for the first time. They have 400 sites. We made the reservations six months ago. We normally stay at Oceano State Beach RV Park, but we wanted to try this place. We are here with Jan & Ken Reynolds. This place does not let you choose a site; they will only tell you your site number the morning you check-in. This is also a place you can join for $50,000, and you get the first pick of sites...ridiculous. You can store your RV at the resort storage across the street. If you are a member, they will bring your RV to your site for you, one perk for the fifty grand. We checked in around 4:30 PM on Monday. The Reynolds are two sites from us and checked in about thirty minutes before us. Check-in time is 4:00 PM. We hooked up and headed to Old Juan's Cantina in Oceanside. We love this place, especially its huge margarit
