    Ripped Off at Jones Valley Campground on Shasta Bathtub north of Redding

    That sux! If you’re still in the area check out Trout Creek Campground on the east side of Mt. Shasta, just past McCloud. I love it there and it’s free! You can park right along the creek. There’s bathrooms too. I’m always freaked out that someone is going to break into my little RV. I have it...

    Full time RV living as Type 1 Diabetic

    Excellent idea to use Walmart! I usually try and not shop there for political reasons...  but if I’m living in my Chinook, I might have to cave in and shop there.  Thank you!
