Rain at the SKP Park of the Sierras

Good news
This Escapees park on the southern border of Yosemite National Park is quite beautiful. Large attractive sites, well maintained by the community, inexpensive, on a lovely hillside in the desert. We can see this as a winter homesite. They have a four – five year waiting list…understandable given the amenities.

It holds more attraction than the prior one in southern Oregon. We already have a summer place in the WA Cascades. Oregon is not far enough south to have nice winter weather. And this Park of the Sierras setting is far nicer. Note we’ve only spent one day hear so far. We’ve not seen the two closest towns yet – Coarsegold and Oakhurst. And another Escapees park lies north of Yuma. We hope to see it soon.

Bad news
More rain. It follows us around. Average rain accumulation is three inches here in December, yet the weather report predicts one inch today and tomorrow, 24 hours after our arrival. Coincidence? You decide.
