A jewel in the wilderness

Iskut, BC

What a jewel of a campground.  This RV park has just the basic amenities of 30 amp power and water with a dump station but the ambiance is over the top WOW!!  Mountain Shadow RV Park is well manicured, maintained and nestled in the neatest location with scenic views of mountains and a lake. 

Isn't this log cabin home/office full of grandeur as it looks out on the fantastic mountain view.
Another impressive item that this campground has going for it is the guests.  Would you believe our friends from Arizona just pulled in?

The relationship began in 2009 in Montana.  We have stayed in touch and camped together several times over the years.  This year we have been playing tag in Alaska and Canada.  Bill and Jan had to zip back to their rig to get my goodies as soon as they saw me.  I even let Bill walk me one year in Goshen, Indiana and he had to use my pink 'collection' bag.  He's my man!!  He didn't even blush.

The campground owners are very gracious, especially to Dad.  They spotted his military hat and bestowed him with a jar of homemade wild huckleberry jam. 

Once again, you have to wonder about the desire to live in the middle of 'no where'.  It is miles to shop for groceries and supplies.  Cell phones don't work in this area but they do have a landline.  There are a few dwellings down the road a piece but they are really pretty isolated.  There is a dock and fuel tank down by the lake for a plane.  It's a different way of life than we are familiar with for sure!! 

You know, when you consider that the campground is almost totally filled up for the night, I guess they do stay in touch with others.
