Camp#37, Elks lodge Evergreen

  Directly behind my friend Red's house is the Evergreen Elks Lodge. Found out they allow camping, even for non-members, so in order to get a more level spot we moved there. We'll have an electric hookup too. I know the refrigerator will work better level. Makes about a 5 degree difference. We've been having to run the generator a few hours a day to keep the batteries up and run the AC in the afternoon. Nice option!
   The plan for today includes a beer run and meeting Red ,after work, and his friend Lori at Cactus Jacks Bar to eat & take in some music. Lori said she'd pick us up and do the driving.
    We found out the village has a free dump 3 blocks from the Elks Lodge, it doesn't show up on any of the internet sites I researched.Heard about it from Elk's members.  That was beginning to be a concern for us as the only other dump I found via internet was up in Golden,Co. about a 45 minute drive from Evergreen. So as of this morning we took on fresh water at Red's, dumped in town and got settled into a new spot.. YEAHH!!
  Met Red & Lori at Cactus Jacks pub. Heard some great music and wandered over to one of Red's friends house. Had a nice evening meeting some new folks and got back to our rig about 10PM.
  It's really quiet here and the stars are amazing as there's no light pollution. We can see the mountains around us actually have a few homes way up. The lights at the houses seem to be but dots amongst the trees. I wonder how the owners get so far up there. One house is at the peak of the highest mountaintop. I'm guessing they gotta use a helicopter to get to it!
   We decided to take a day off and just veg at camp tomorrow.
   REMEMBER, LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY. Charlie & Heather

    Howdy Charlie,
    Be sure you tell Good Sams about the SERVICE that didn't happen; they just hoped you'd get farther down the road, than you did..
    Sounds like y'all finally got a little bit of 'GOOD LUCK' going!!! Nick Russell has a lot to say on the Elks lodges & the way they treat their RV members; read the Gypsy Journal; lot of GOOD & some CACA...
    Hope everything goes GOOD for y'all from now on!!!!
