Still "enjoying" Ruby's Inn at Bryce Canyon because you know this is how I do RVing.

However, when it clears, Bryce will be a sight to behold with a dusting of snow? BTW, when you are in Oregon, the whales will be migrating. You can often see them from shore. Judy D
My first two days here it was in the 60's and to me that was also enough time to see what I wanted to see. I did plan to hike Navajo trail today as the forecast was supposed to be warm and sunny, wrong!!! Last two days were extremely windy, I thought my FWS topper was done for!

I'll be migrating to OR, yes, that's true :)
 
Nice 4 day weekend in the Outer Banks of NC. We are staying at the Camp Hetteras campground. Huge facility. Ocean front. Beautiful weather. Iffy WiFi but great T-Mobile service.

Freezing up just west of Albuquerque at Route 66 RV Resort for a couple days then westward again. Good OTA, decent Verizon signal, nice level sites. The coach is dirtier than it's ever been from the rainy trip through TX and NM oil fields. Hitting a Blue Beacon in the morning.

Crown Villa RV Resort, Bend, OR
SAT: Blocked by trees
VIEW: Blocked by trees
OTA: Unknown
CABLE: Included, plenty of channels, don't think they are HD though (analog)
WiFi: Open (no password required) so not used
AT&T: Good
T-Mobile: Probably winner but I'm using AT&T primary with around 20 down
Verizon: Not good (last I checked)

GPS took me to wrong location on the road therefore I had a 12'10" bridge between me and the resort. It sure looked higher and was tempting BUT I resisted, no need to entertain the group right now! :) Phone call got me sorted out and vectored in.

Love the views here. Reminds me of when I lived in Tacoma (McChord, AFB). Love the snow capped volcano's which are pretty right up until they decide to ruin your day!

Casey's Riverside RV Resort. Westfir, OR

Very nice campground in an isolated area which makes it real camping and I love campgrounds like this. Nestled in the OR hills and tall trees, along a creek and that damn Newmar train that seems to always find me! I am getting smarter at picking camp sites, picked one on the end with a large green area off the patio side which Elli loves! I'm at the closest point to the fishing location where all fish are deemed safe which is standard for my fishing talents! I asked about a fishing license required, they said OR is so screwed up due to Covid there is no risk. Live bait not allowed. Now the question is what I'll do with a fish I actually catch, I have no clue how to clean one but I'll cross that bridge should one run into my hook!

SAT: Amazingly yes!
OTA: Didn't try
WiFi: Free and secure but typical 1-2 down so not for me
AT&T: (iPhone no service, Pepwave gets a signal with roof mounted antenna) Not bad, definitely usable, but not the winner
Verizon: The winner here, around 5-10 down
T-Mobile: No service
Site: 65

Amenities 4 miles away in small town but I plan to rest and enjoy this serenity until I leave on the 29th. There is urban camping which I just left (Bend, OR) and then there is forested or serene camping and that's what I really enjoy most to disconnect, find balance, etc.

That’s the first I’ve seen your coach, @Av8r. Very nice, and very interesting color scheme. When I was at Nappanee for FPU, there was a new Dutch Star parked there with the same.
