Exploring the Park

We always enjoy exploring a new RV park. Each one has it's own character. Some are functional, some are pleasant and some are resorts.

Indian Waters qualifies as a resort. The streets are wide and paved. There are flowers and trees everywhere. The sites are spacious and the people are friendly.

Giant Rv (a local rv dealer) is having a display of new and used rvs here in the park. So, of course, we toured the different coaches. We are always looking for ideas to implement in our coach, just not looking for a new coach. After going through 7 or 8 rigs, we decided there wasn't a single one that we would trade for ours.

Then, we took our bottles of water and wandered through the park. We found several small ponds with ducks and turtles. And lots of coaches decorated for Christmas. Some people get very creative.


We arrived back at the clubhouse/office which is the hub of the park. The pool and spa area are lovely surrounded by grass and trees leading up to a shady patio area with tables and chairs.


There is a pool room with three tables for the weekly pool tournament and inside the social room are books, bulletin boards with tons of information. puzzles, tables and chairs and couches. Certainly a welcoming venue.


And of course, my favorite area is the book lending shelf.

We wandered into the dining area where the sign up sheets are for the zillions of activities. There were probably twenty clipboards with sign ups for craft making, hiking, computer classes, dinners and other activities. A Cookie Lee Jewelry show was being presented while we were in there. And there is always a volunteer ready to visit and share information or answer questions.

Back outside again, we found the horseshoe pits and the shuffleboard courts.


Every senior plays shuffleboard at some time or another. So, here is mine.

When we got back to the coach, I discovered a project for Doug. I was hanging clean clothes in the closet and noticed that the bar was sagging in the middle. The center support bar was pulling out of the ceiling. So, after totally emptying the closet, Doug took it all apart and reinforced the support section. It had been assembled with minimal screws, glue and staples. Now, it can withstand anything! With the repairs finished, we restocked the closet and fell into bed.
