Monday &Tuesday, March 7&8 -- Travel and Setup (Coarsegold, CA)

 

Monday we traveled 204 miles leaving at 9:30 and arriving Park of the Sierras in Coarsegold, CA Escapees Park at 1:30.

We were escorted to our site by John who was very helpful, giving us a brief description of what there is around us.

We got set-up and then Jesse tried to get the Dish Satellite set-up. We worked on it for almost 2 hours but were unable to get it to work. Luckily they have an extensive cable TV system here that we were able to connect to.

I prepared us some salmon cakes for dinner and we relaxed for the rest of the evening.

 

Tuesday we did our usual coffee, Today Show and computers.

Then we decided to try the Dish again.  I kept telling Jesse that something was wrong and I didn’t think it had anything to do with his ability to point the dish correctly.

He called Dish and they went through some steps with no solution other then to call a repair person. Jesse put a call into one of the places the representative gave him and they promised to call in the morning.

Then we took a drive into the towns of Coarsegold and Oakhurst just to look around and see what was there. They are both very small towns, but have a grocery store and a few places to eat.

We stopped at Todds Bar-B-Que (recommended by John) and brought a platter home. It was very good Jesse and I both said we will go back.

Back at the Kram-a-lot we had our dinner and just hung-out for the rest of the evening.
