Park of the Sierras - Coarsegold, California

This is an Escapees Cooperative RV Park.  Since we joined Escapees, we are able to stay here.  It is very nice.  Each lot has full hook ups, a storage shed and a concrete patio.  It is very similar to the park we stayed in near Moses Lake in Washington.  We will stay here for a total of three weeks.  The park is very close to the south entrance of Yosemite and Seqouia National Parks.  We will update with pictures from each after we visit.  The park here is in the foothills and has lots of interesting hills.  We are walking and riding bikes in the park and enjoying it very much.

This is lot 103 where we are parked.  Gari did a great job squeezing her into the narrow driveway.
 We were advised to keep the hood open so mice didn't nest in the engine compartment and chew wires.  We keep a trouble light underneath the truck and coach.  Apparently the mice don't like the light either.
 The backdoor to lot 103.

 Our utilities hookups. The yellow cord goes to the trouble light that sits under the truck at night.
 The shady patio.

Walking and riding bikes around the living areas of the park.
The hill out our backyard.  We walk and ride it for exercise.  It is called Cardiac Hill.
 There it is!


 Nice views up here.
 Up on top by the water towers.
 See the Indian Casino down the hill on Lucky Drive.

 Restored Stagecoach at the clubhouse.  An old stagecoach road goes right through the park.
The members here have a sense of humor.  They put a TV antenna on top of the stagecoach along with a FantasticFan!  Not quite historically correct we think :)  The netting is to keep the abundant woodpeckers here from destroying the reproduction.

 Reflecting bench at the bridge.
The round hole in the rock was left by indians.  They soaked acorns in there to leech away the bitterness.

 Looking downstream; lots of animal tracks...
 Cougar track!  :0
