I just can’t get into this blogging thing. Since I started this blog it has only been view about 7 times. I have no idea how to get people to it, and I can never remember to add to it, so I will take the link off my website for now and maybe someday someone with more internet knowledge will do this. Come camping at riverbend….. We are here for relaxing, not making ourselves crazy trying to please the techies that say I must blog to get guests. *sigh*

Memorial Day Weekend at Riverbend RV Park

Wow, what a great weekend. The place was packed. We had two motorcycle groups and an RV club. Evening Star Riders, a CMA group was here. Skagit Wings a gold wing owners group and the Rolling Oaks Church group from Oak Harbor were all here. Rolling Oaks Church group has been spending Memorial Day weekend here for roughly 15 years. It is so wonderful to see them come back year after year. We had more kids and dogs here than usual, but it did not cause any problems. The dog owners for the most part followed all the rules in order to make having their animals here safe and fun for everyone. The kids were all so well behaved and respectful of the other campers that I hope they all come back again soon.

Puget Sounders Club

The Puget Sounders Club was here the weekend of the 15th. The weather was wonderful for the weekend, so they enjoyed getting out and exploring the valley, and just hanging out here at Riverbend.

Well, according to my friend Loreen, I am supposed to be more vigilant in my blogging. As usual, I have fizzled in the face of the unknown. lol

I will try to be better and actually update this on occasion.

The weather has been cool, but oh so beautiful. We had quite a few guests here for the 49ers Days Weekend in Winthrop. This coming week we will be hosting the Puget Sounders Club. A great group of people out of the Camano Island area. Why not come on over yourselves and join them. I am sure fun will be had by all.

If you have not made plans for the Memorial Day weekend yet, we do have a couple of spaces left. Come on over to the Methow Valley and stroll through Winthrop or go to the Rodeo.

The Farmers Market in Twisp has been going for a few weeks now and that is always a fun thing to do on a Saturday morning. I went last weekend. I bought some tomato plants, but of course I am still afraid to plant them until the frosty mornings end (soon I hope). The people with the Kettle korn are here again as well as all the great crafts and art work. If you go, don’t forget to visit the rummage room at the Senior center.

Oh, almost forgot to mention. I got in a shipment of very cute tee’s and hats. My shipment of men’s shirts aren’t here yet. (note to self: call and find out when???)

OK, enough rambling for today. I will try to get some pictures posted soon (note to self: figure out how???)

Hi everyone. This is day one in trying to figure out what Blogs are. All I know so far is they are scary. Well, that is the way I see them. Hopefully I will figure it out. Then you will all get a better picture of what is going on here in the beautiful Methow Valley.

Last October we had a fire that destroyed our home and the office/store. I want to thank each and every one of you that helped us during and after the fire. It was very traumatic to loose all of our belongings, but found that we are blessed with wonderful friends, customers and neighbors. We have a new home and are settling in nicely. It will be a year or so before we can rebuild the store and office, but in the mean time we have a temporary office set up. So far it is working nicely.

The North Cascades highway opened up last Friday. The guests have started to trickle in. We have worked very hard to get the park looking good for your visit. The grass is greening up nicely, trees are starting to leaf out and the tulips and daffodils are blooming. Two groups of tent campers are set up down by the river for a couple of days. It is wonderful to see people enjoying a campfire again.
