Memorial weekend pretty much did us in as camphosts at Coulee City campground. It's too bad because walleye fishing was just starting to get good. I took a picture of this kid's walleye --35" long and almost 13 pounds -- he was very excited. We will also miss all of the great scenery we were getting to see. This is a picture of Lake Chelan about 80 miles northwest of Coulee City. A beautiful lake surrounded by mountains -- with snow still on the tops.
The holiday weekend brought us a campground full of rv'ers and tenters. It was finally warm enough to tent it. Unfortunately, we soon discovered that at least one fourth of our tenters only wanted to party all night and race through the park all day. After over three dozen visits, patrols, etc from the local police, county sheriffs and any other law enforcement we could get we decided enough was enough and gave our notice. The last straw was taking shifts with our other host couple to stay up all night in order to keep an eye on our stuff.
Most of our campers appreciated our efforts to keep the campground safe for their families although at least two families left because of the thievery, drunkedness and unsafe driving that went on in the park -- don't blame them and told them to demand refunds from the city. All we heard was to expect worse come fourth of July -- no thanks we are out of there.
We are now in Montana and are planning to tour Glacier National Park maybe go up into Banff and then down to Yellowstone before heading south again for the winter.
