We were hoping to stay at Potlatch another 2 nights but we have to boogie cuz there's no room at the inn. Trish and I will be competing in the annual LLCCILDT (Lost Lake Country Club Invitational Lawn Dart Tournament) near Shelton, WA tomorrow so we need to find a nearby place to park for a couple nights. There's a casino that allows RVs to park in their huge lot so we'll probably try that. More later on this over-the-top, world class event.
Grilled live oysters over the fire our first night here, said bounty provided by Dave and Verna - and they also bought some fresh Dungeness crab for the second night. We'll have to make it a point of joining up with them more often! Trish marinated and grilled peaches and apples for the desserts. Yummy stuff.
Hood Canal and southwest WA coast is prime shellfish and crustacean territory. Dungeness is my favorite crab; Alaska king crab comes off a very poor second, okay for crab cakes but otherwise you can keep it.
En route we stopped at Camping World in Tacoma to have them 'diagnose' a radio problem in our RV: the station scan feature doesn't work, never did. Ever had CW perform any service work on your RV? Don't! They totally suck. Shitty service, bogus charges, Rip Offs Are Us. They won't fix anything or even order any parts until they've done a 'diagnostic' (not covered by the warranty of course) and charged you $70 for it.
Yeah, dumbass, it doesn't work does it? And you don't have a radio in stock to replace it do you? No, gotta order the damn thing through another CW service center somewhere down the road, then schedule the installation after the part arrives - and pray that it arrives in a timely fashion so you're still near the city when it arrives. Then, you pray some more, hoping they have a service time available to do the installation before you die of old age.
And get this, they have the audacity to charge an extra $6 for 'shop towels'! I was tempted to ask the service manager, "If the technician takes a restroom break while working on my rig, will I get charged for toilet paper? Do you count the number of TP squares actually used or do you use a running (no pun intended) average? How about soap and paper towels?" Nary a shop towel was used anyway; I was standing beside the rig the entire time and would have noticed. Bunch of nickel-diming bloodsuckers.
So, I contacted the CW national consumer complaint dept and bitched. End result: no charge for the freakin shop towels or anything else.
