Pleasant Valley, Hwy 410 – Thursday August 27, 2020

Bryn was more than busy the whole time.

When you are two years old the coach is a long ways up in the air. It is even further to get down when you have to have a cookie in each hand.

A cup holder is such a great place to keep your rocks.

Pleasant Valley, Hwy 410 – Wednesday August 26, 2020

Some days are for exploring around camp and learning new things.

That is learning new things and eating cookies.

Pleasant Valley, Hwy 410 – Tuesday August 25, 2020

We went for a lot of walks around the campground and nature trail also many trips to the river to throw rocks.

An Uncle can come in real handy sometimes.

The nature trail was good to use up a little energy.

Tanya and/or Mike cooked breakfast every morning.

Sometimes you just have to play in the dirt before breakfast.

Pleasant Valley, Hwy 410 – Sunday August 23, 2020

The coach with all the buttons and gauges was a hit with both kids.

Pleasant Valley, Hwy 410 – Saturday August 22 2020

This is where we stayed, we are in site 9 by the river and the Garcia’s are across the road.

Pleasant Valley, Hwy 410 – Friday August 21, 2020

Site 9, Garcia’s are across the road in site 10.

We are here for 9 days this year. We had planned a family camp at Kaner Flat 12 miles down the road August 21 to 25 for my birthday May 31 I turned old 70.

Then move to Salmon Cove for Jeff’s group camping trip. A couple of months ago we got a notice that Kaner Flats was not going to open this year and Jeff got a notice that Salmon Cove was not going to open either. We were able to get these reservations for August 21 to 30 and many of the people from Jeff’s group moved to Pleasant Valley. The Covid and weather (fire ban) reduced Jeff’s family groups down to four and us from 14. For us it ended up working out for the best because the Little Naches road to Kaner Flats was closed because of fire at the top of the ridge. Things have sure changed over the years. We have camped at Kaner Flats with fire half way up the valley and helicopters picking up water in the pond just west of the campground. While we were at Pleasant Valley the 17 sites were no more than 2/3’s full on the weekend and two other sites during the week. All the reservable sites had reservation signs on them and no one showed. Covid and weather probably biggest factors. Lot of people will not go camping if they can not have a campfire. Mel and Laura had reservations for three nights but they didn’t come because of all the fires in California and they didn’t want to leave their home.
