Just clocked my new campground at 101.68 Mbps using Speedof.me.

Congrats on buying a campground! How many people do you think were on the network?

"my new campground" = just visiting

The campground has about 75 sites which are almost all full this weekend. Plus, there are several hotspots. Because it seemed just too high, today's WiFi download speed needed to be measured with two, different speed testers . . .

Those are some great speeds. Does the park have the regular request for no streaming? 

We've been at Newport, OR's Pacific Shores Motor Resort for about 6 weeks. Just took our CRV and made a dash back down to San Diego for 7-8 days fro our friends 40th anniversary bash. We head back North again Monday... And will be back in the park on the 4th for a mini block party... 

Had been great weather along the coast before we left. I did get a chuckle when I made a comment to our neighbor about the wind - he said 'This ain't wind, it's a breeze.'. And yet Small Craft Warning, and the weather station at the park registered sustained winds in the mid 30's, with gusts to the high 40's.... (Oddly, it seemed just a bit more then a breeze to us!). Now we know why some of our neighbors not yet back into the park, have their picnic tables upside down and strapped to the concrete. Two years ago, a full timer in the park said they had gusts over 110MPH, and yep - some picnic tables had changed sites by the the end of that storm.). 

Enjoy your on going travels on 101. We hit Tillamook Elk's in about two-three weeks for a visit. 

Travel safe,

Nope. I have yet to find a park that requests that.

Superb area. We're looking for a place (or places) we can spend summers that's along the OR or WA coasts.

If you like the Olympic Peninsula, we enjoy renting a site up at Evergreen Co Op for a month. We try to time it for the yearly Wooden Boat Festival, 9/6-9/8 this year. Our daughter will make her second visit, we'll pick her up at Sea-Tac for a few days visit so she can attend her second festival with us. 

The Elk's in Forks has a nice open area too, just watch out for the Vampire's and Werwolf's (Or in the immortal words of Marty Feldman 'There wolf...'.) (Or was that 'What hump?')

Travel safe, have fun,

Smitty

At home on an xfinity wifi speedof.me just says 'test in progress'.  How long does it take?

It's been a while, 19 years to be precise since we'd been, but we loved the Wooden ships festival at Port Townsend and we stayed at Evergreen CoOp too. Some nice folks were there. We retired and started RVing at ages 45 and 43 so the folks we know likely moved on. Even when we couldn't make the event we did the loop around the Washington Peninsula and Columbia River Oregon and Washington sides and their parks, lighthouses, etc. Since it's not on the main route, the often missed Hoh N.P. Is awesome too. For those who can only walk a hike of less than a mile the have impressive sights for you. The longer trail is the heat! https://www.nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/visiting-the-hoh.htm

We had a lot at Escapees Chimacum but gave it up during a period of excessive back-stabbing and when they were having issues with their drainage fields - $$$ in the future.   We also didn't use it enough to justify it.  We didn't like staying in one place for a whole season.  There's a lot to do in the area including taking a ferry to Seattle for a day trip.  The first day of summer there is July 5.... really!  It's like the summer switch is pulled.  Even though it's in the so-called banana belt of Sequim, it does rain there a lot but on sunny days it's glorious.

The best part of Sequim for us was our grandchildren! There is a Rainbow's End RV park in Sequim but it isn't part of the Escapees system.
