Hatchery RV parking shaming

Wow, Isobars and I agreeing again. Mark your clendars ☺ This only happens a few times a year. I like your exhaust Mike but some RV's have the gensets in the front.

For those who haven't figured it out. The Gorge is a WORLD windsurfing/kiting venue. That means prople travel here from all sorts of places in all sorts of vehicles. NOBODY drives an RV or tows a trailer to a windsurfing site because they want to. Class A's get 8mpg, Class C's about 10mpg unless they have a newer Sprinter based one, and towing about 10mpg. So they drive it because that is their vehicle not because they have choices.. It's called tourism.

But the generator complaint cracks me up. It's a big place. If it's noisy take your lunch/beer to a quieter location.

It always amazes me to see people complaining about how others choose to live their lives... It's called tollerance.

Summer must be here. Don't we have this same thread every year? Let me guess what we will have next, lessee, go it. A thread on people mowing the lawn (AKA, Bafing) at the Hatchery. Smile

Mohos take 1-2 spots and if that`s your only transportation, oh well, you don`t have much choice. A full size truck and huge trailer take 3-4 spots, And guess what? You can take a trailer off! Takes 5 minutes. There is tons of space down at the fish hatchery to store it for the day so be courteous to the other visiting sailors who also want to enjoy this world class spot.

I agree leave your dam trailer somewhere else.. Don't get me started on trailer parking.
Went to water skiing today out east. Love the people who park their car in a trailer/truck spot.
Makes you want leave a note and fixed their car so it will not start.

I tell them, thank you for parking that gigantic thing there. Since all the other people who could have parked there are now not here,, I have more swell to myself.

Some people go to the Hatch to have fun sailing, and apparently some go there to have something to bitch about before and after they sail.

Wait when I show up in this:

Man, you would have to buy 4 passes to park that thing.
