Today the Kadizzle's woke up in Deadhorse State Park. For $25 per night we are packed much closer together. There are no bums. Bums rarely go above $6 per night. The $3 bum sites were actually much nicer than our current situation. The Bum sites back at Lake Roosevelt had a nice Ramada, much more room, nicer showers, more to do, and a much better view.
Prosperity brings noise. When people have money they seem to have a need to waste it. So last night we listened to someone run their air conditioner 24 hrs a day for no real reason. Another favorite of those with more money than brains is to string Christmas lights around their 40ft motor home. When you pay a fixed rate for electricity it is essential you waste it.
An observation. The bigger and more expensive your camper the closer you need to be to a shopping center. When we camp out at great distances from civilization we don't see so many of the fancy rigs. Camping used to be a way to have serenity in the wilderness, now there is a trend to see how many toys and push button devices you can take with you. As sailors we have seen the same thing at work in both sail boats and motor homes, once you get too large you are limited to where you can go. A small boat with a shallow draft can get into some very nice places the bloated boat cannot go. The same holds true for an RV. There are some fantastic places to camp that you can only get to with the most rugged small RVs. This seems to be natures justice.
