Vantage, WA

10 days of fun in the TM!!

Nice looks like a great spot.

I like the truck.

EDIT: But I can't quite figure out where the campground is. Vantage WA is right on 90 and the Columbia River but google maps isn't showing me any campgrounds near there.

I'm jealous....I hope you burn your hamburger!

Could you get any tv reception ?

Thanks! The park is a Washington State park, and the official name is Wanapum state park, and is reservable during the summer season. Since I live on the coast, heading to the desert 1/2 of the state is a nice change of scenery, and is my favorite place to go!

I used to get a few channels of regular TV there, but have not tried for a while. I got the Dish Network Tailgator from camping world, and now I have the same channels I have at home. It is a cool system, and only adds $10 per month to my home satellite bill (as an extra reciever) I bungee cord it to the regular antenna before i raise the roof and run the wire under the velcro flap near the TV connection inside.

We do Wanapum once or twice a year. Great park-but it can be a drag when the wind 'decides' to blow. We'll probably be there sometime after 'reservation season' ends.

I'm fortunate in that it's only something like 30-40 minutes from our house . I had reservations for Labor Day of Vantage but had to cancel when our previous trailer died (and I didn't know I'd fall into our 2720SD). I think my spot may have been the one you were in (or one near it). On the cul de sac, right hand side

BTW-I'm w/Dish also, and run the cable in just as you do, but use a portable tripod. Seems in a lot of places I end up in a spot that is too protected by trees

Michaels, we have reservations back at Wanapum for 4th of July
