KOA campgrounds date back to 1962 and are known for their distinct A-frame office buildings. Out of the 500 KOA Campgrounds locations that still exist in the United States, it's not surprising that 1 or 2 have become abandoned over the years. Pictured is a KOA office building in Lynchburg, Virginia that has since burned down.

♦️ and ☯️ for Kensi, Deeks, or Densi for the head canons list. 🙂

♦ - quirks/hobbies headcanon

A few months after Rosa came to live with Kensi and Deeks, she came home from a shopping trip with a 1000 piece puzzle of Times Square at night. When she mentioned it was somewhere she always wanted to go, they not only added it to their travel bucket list, but they immediately set up a folding table by the couch and began completing the puzzle together. At least a few nights a week, they rotate picking a movie or a show to watch, and work on the puzzle as they enjoy each other's favorite entertainment. Deeks chooses "classic" movies like The Wild One and Goonies (well at least what he considered classics), and Kensi chooses her favorites like Titanic, and the John Hughes library of films. Rosa usually suggests newer movies and shows - her most recent favorite show was Shrinking - and everyone's favorite lists get expanded.

After Times Square was completed, other beautiful landscape puzzles stacked up - Yellowstone, San Francisco, London, even the Santa Monica Pier. There were other variety of puzzles thrown in, like movie scenes, or abstract art. But mostly, beautiful sights around the world. The only unspoken rule - puzzles of places MUST be photographs. They wished to bask in the real look, not an artist's rendering (no offense to artists).

For Rosa's 18th birthday, Deeks and Kensi presented her a box containing their biggest challenge yet, a 4000 piece puzzle of a new Time Square nightscape. Inside the box, tickets for the three to spend a week in New York over Christmas break.

☯ - likes/dislikes headcanon

Deeks doesn't hate camping as much as he lets on. He doesn't even need to "glamp" to consider the idea. He'd prefer not to be completely unprotected out in the middle of the desert, that is too reminiscent of difficult work cases. But give him a designated campground, a decent tent with an air mattress inside, and at least an outhouse available for use, and he's more than happy to spend a few days in the woods enjoying nature and roasting marshmallows over the fire.

A few months after they got engaged, Kensi and Deeks took a roadtrip over a long weekend to see the Grand Canyon in the fall. Deeks surprised Kensi by pulling into a KOA about an hour from the South Rim. He fell even more in love with her seeing the joy on her face as he pulled the tent and supplies from where he hid them in his truck bed. Together they assembled the tent, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, and then snuggled in on the bouncy airbed in their tent.

The next few days were spent hiking the beautiful canyon, horseback riding around the camp, exploring the nearby towns of Flagstaff and Williams, and spending the evenings in the hot tub (yeah, he chose a place that had some amenities!). Sure, they had to make an emergency run to Walmart to pick up a few more supplies (Deeks may have underestimated Kensi's love of s'mores), but despite Deeks's initial reservations, this was an experience he'd be willing to repeat again and again - and they did!

#my headcanons #my writing #first thing I've written in awhile #but it was fun #Densi #densi headcanons #did I project a bit of myself into these? #yes #Also that KOA is totally a real place #We camped there every year for like 7 years when I was a kid #we did all those things - they have a pool in addition to the hot tub and a pool table and 'arcade' #like 3 games #they also have indoor bathrooms and showers - but outhouses too for the sites on the outskirts of the campsite #but despite those - we always stayed in tents at least #also - the unwritten puzzle rule is absolutely my own #and I own that 4000 piece puzzle - but never got really far on it - I need some more hands - and a bigger table

[theworldoffostering]

I’m going to give a detailed account of our trip. If you’re not interested in reading about our five week tent excursion, please feel free to skip.

Days 1 & 2:

We started with a tour of Winona State University in Minnesota, and then camped two nights at Whitewater State Park. My college roommate/best friend lives in the Twin Cities, and some of her kids also did the college tour, and they camped with us the first night which was a great way to kick off our adventure.

Days 3 & 4:

We camped at Palisades State Park in eastern South Dakota. That park is so beautiful. We went to a ranger talk about fireflies which was given by a college student and well done. We also did a Charlie Brown movie night sponsored by the park where we indulged in $.25 popsicles and popcorn.

Days 5-7:

We drove to Custer State Park. We did the obligatory stops at the Corn Palace and Wall Drug along the way. At Custer we hiked Sylvan Lake and Cathedral Spires. We also drove the wildlife loop and saw bison, big horned sheep, and lots of prairie dogs.

Days 8 & 9:

We stayed at the KOA in Cody, WY. It’s not very impressive for tent campers. There is ZERO shelter, and we nearly lost our tent in a storm. Thankfully, it stayed intact, but we spent a couple of hours bailing out water. However, it does have a pool which was a hit with the kids. They also offer a free pancake breakfast which was a nice reprieve from cooking.

While in Cody we went to the rodeo (kids loved it), ate really good pizza at a local place, and it is where Ms. 6 took a fall and hurt her knee to the point that she will need an MRI in the next week or two.

Days 10 & 11:

We drove into Yellowstone National Park via the west entrance. The drive from Cody was phenomenal! We saw bison and had lunch next to Yellowstone Lake. Last year we didn’t see the lake at all except for driving by it. I really wanted to spend some time on it this year. Lunch was perfect!

The next day we went back to the lake and did a short hike. Then we went to Old Faithful. I took Ms. 6 to the clinic there to have her knee looked at. We watched Old Faithful erupt, and we got to see the visitor center there and see the Old Faithful Inn which is beautiful. I had not been to either of those spots before despite watching Old Faithful erupt before. We also saw elk on our drive back to our campsite.

We stayed at Grant Campground.

Days 12-17:

We drove out of the west entrance of Yellowstone and headed north to Glacier National Park. We camped at Apgar there. On the drive, we saw several moose and my first bear! I was thrilled!

Apgar Campground is basically located on Lake McDonald which was cold! Every body of water at Glacier was cold! It was a long drive to get there so that first night we basically set up camp, ate dinner, and went to bed.

We hiked Rocky Point Trail, Trail of the Cedars, and Avalanche Lake. We also went to Polebridge and ate the most amazing huckleberry bear claws at The Mercantile. We drove to Bowman Lake and hiked a meadow trail at Polebridge.

The Going to the Sun Road opened while we were there (it was mid-July), and I’m so glad we got to experience driving it. The day we drove it, it was cold and rainy so a good day for it as we would not have been hiking. The views were incredible. We saw our first and only mountain goat on the trip, and two bears! They still had snow in areas, and although it took us the bulk of the day, we still had fun (kids were done though).

Two cousins of mine (siblings but they live in different states from each other and us) were in the park at the same time along with my uncle, and we happened upon them while they were eating dinner one night which was super fun because we did not have cell service to make a connection while there.

Our last night in the area we stayed at the KOA in West Glacier. That KOA is pretty nice, but the day was cold and rainy so we couldn’t take advantage of the pool. We mostly did laundry. I ended up getting a UTI. Ugh. So grateful we had some antibiotics on hand.

Day 18:

We drove to Spokane, WA and stayed in a hotel. The Hampton Inn has never felt so luxurious! Showers and beds for everyone! They had a pool too and we loved spending some time in there before bed.

Day 19:

We drove to Olympia, WA and celebrated DD’s birthday. We did Starbucks, the three older kids saw a movie, and then we went to Chipotle for lunch before heading to Olympic National Park.

Days 20-25:

Olympic National Park. I’m convinced I’d never survive in the PNW. It was 59-61 degrees every day and socked in with clouds most of the time we were there. I knew it would be cold, but didn’t expect it to be that cold (weather app said it would be about ten degrees warmer for the week). The wildlife was amazing, but we actually left one day early because we just couldn’t handle being cold, wet, and without sunshine.

Day 26:

Drove to Cannon Beach! That was one of my favorite afternoons! 70, sunny, tide was going out. I wish we would have caught the sunset. We had seafood for dinner along the shore before driving into Portland for the night. I got to see Mt Hood from a distance.

Day 27:

Portland! We went to the original Voodoo Doughnuts! Then we met up with my cousin who lives there, his wife, and my aunt and uncle who were visiting from NY. We ended up going to the Washington County Fair. My uncle treated all the kids to wristbands for the rides and an epic afternoon was had.

Day 28:

We drove to Sisters, OR. We pitched our tent in the backyard of a longtime friend of DH’s who graciously fed all of us too.

Day 29:

We drove to Idaho Falls, ID and camped at the KOA which backs up to a farm field. We really just needed a place to sleep. This fit the bill.

Days 30-37:

We drove to Grand Tetons National Park. We camped at Colter Bay. I really like it there because they have showers and laundry and that’s nice when you have kids and just need to clean up.

Colter Bay is on Jackson Lake which is part of the charm, but I was super disappointed to see that the lake is very low due to Idaho’s water needs. The marina at the campground wasn’t open due to such low water levels.

Grand Tetons was one of my favorite parts of the trip because we did some excellent hiking and saw so much wildlife which I was not expecting. We hiked Moose Pond, Phelps Lake (and DH did the cliff dive after hiking out to it), Taggart Lake, Bradley Lake, and Jackson Lake. We also did the scenic drive to Signal Mountain.

Days 38 & 39:

Allllll of the driving home.

[portland2023]

I just love this place. Cascade Locks KOA campground. Pretty close to a road and pretty busy railroad tracks, but the strong smell of pines and loads of them.

Choose us to Get best experience in Snowbird RV resorts

With the introduction of Covid-19, more individuals in Canada are turning to nature for its unmatched therapeutic and health advantages. Being surrounded by nature and the trees is beneficial to us all. The same is true for snowbirds. A rise in demand for RV facilities that can meet and accommodate to their unique RV, leisure, and health and wellness demands has resulted from Canada's rising Snowbird community.

Across the nation, new RV park resorts are springing up, with Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario leading the way. Resort builders are taking full advantage of the increase in demand in the industry, and many of them have begun construction on brand-new full-service private RV resorts. Others are upgrading their existing RV parks to draw in more visitors, including the 380,000 Canadian snowbirds who travel to warmer climates in RVs during the winter. This huge, mobile, and somewhat affluent group has several particular requirements, including proximity to restaurants, RV parks with complete amenities, including full electricity and water, close medical services, hospital facilities, and restaurants. A resort developer from Calgary named Pinnacle Lifestyles has made significant investments to turn well-liked, historic campsites into luxurious, distinctive, and hospitality-focused RV parks. offering upmarket services like concierge assistance, bill-to-RV lot services like delivery of camping essentials and wood, as well as other classes of goods that local RVers regularly use. The goal of the business is to improve the Snowbird RV resorts experience. Revelstoke Campground, located in southern British Columbia at the foot of Mount Revelstoke, is the company's newest Snowbird RV Parks .

While being nestled into a fantastic, secluded camping area, in among the woods, just a few miles from town, Revelstoke Campground is well positioned near to all of Revelstoke's neighborhood services and facilities. A large selection of serviced pull-through RV campsites, an outdoor pool, a camp shop, a playground for children, an outdoor adventure center, and a climbing wall are all available at Revelstoke Campground. The helpful staff at the on-site Flexpeditions outdoor adventure center accepts direct reservations for guided kayak, whitewater rafting, and canoe activities. In order to turn the formerly KOA campsite into a full-service resort destination that meets and surpasses campers' expectations as well as Pinnacle Lifestyles' high, contemporary standards, modifications are being made there during 2020.Visit us online at https://www.canadasnowbirds.com/

Started the day slowly.  Began the last leg of the journey to West Yellowstone via the Mesa parkway.  I stopped at the Lower Mesa Falls overlook, the Upper Mesa Falls, a display of White Wyethia and Blue Camas with Purple and Gold colors.  At Upper Mesa Falls took the nature trail to the brink of the Lower falls.  Wildflowers were in abundance.  Lastly stopped at a local wildlife reserve with a lot of fisherman on the river.  Got my campsite at the KOA for two nights.  Then I went to town for lunch of the buffet of salad and soup.  Enjoyable.  Back at the campground I did laundry.  It began to shower again.  Spent most of the afternoon in my van.  Did go to the camp store and had a meal of hot pockets.  They were good to warm me up.  Had trouble using the internet, but overall it was a good day.

[meanwhileinstasiville]

A span of a few hundred feet

"What I say, goes." *That's the system* in a few pictures. Notice anything odd?

They don't live there. That's "carpenter" hall which was a church. Cooper on the corner. Cooper next to the "stone house"? Backed up by a person in yellow.

Down the road and on morton street? There's a cooper parked in the corner of *that church's lot*; usually there's a cooper at the top right of safeway's lot a few hundred feet down from morton (which was a latin king colored car; it's how this place is). The yellow guy coming down hargadine was one of my library stalkers once upon a time; sat down next to me on the computers when all the other seats were open. Often at *exact* minutes like 2:00, 2:20, 3:33, etc. Which has gang sorts of overtones.

Lives out at what was the "koa" campground vicinity, I think this particular old guy. Used to see him at the town entrance bridge almost any time of the day I was coming up to it. Then out that highway when I was walking out there regularly.

(The apple is on the table where I habitually sit, left there by somebody)

Another interesting factoid about this place, is since the repeated downturns since 2008 or so, the majority of expensive homes are owned by people who as often as not don't work. Retirees. Rich people whatever. And then there's the "fifteen minute city" they now call it, import from neighboring towns working people. For all the touristy stuff and those counters. They afford to drive here or commute here but can't afford to live here. Same as ever.

So there have been several runs of kids and even grandkids content with dead end jobs around town because their parents own a decent home, cover their expenses medical and otherwise, and pick up the tab on new cars and things when circumstances or age call for it. But and, they get poorer with time, all those rich homeowners. So some kids were crammed into apartments and shuffled off to the dorms as an impromptu local boarding school. That was an 00s thing. They live at home like it's a detachment like a guest house. And things got worse.

So I complain about these things that are between affronts and proselytizing attempts, some more one than the other. But then again I know this to also be a theater town AND company town combined.

So I don't envy the guy driving a blue nissan with the top down, blaring his stereo as he cruises the dirt roads above the park *every single day* like it's his purpose in life. There are a lot of those people running around town these days, because they seem to have found that *they can't afford* their lives to consist of anything else. Millions of dollars of house and elderly person with "dinner for a week" in a stack of tv dinners? Already came to pass around here.

"This is kings town, ese!" A pot dispensary where a U-Haul facility stood for most of my life, suggests right after you get off I-5 at the south end of town. Subtle nod to what the U-Haul corporation was subsidizing here, huh?

(Put the latin kings in with all the others; company town, college town, tourist town, shakespeare town)

And what's left here? The same story as every other ghost town in Oregon except something keeps this place populated.

Age of sail

I’ve been fascinated with the history of sailing ships ever since the summer of 1979, when I was at a KOA campground near Victoria, B.C. and found a paperback in their small store written by Alexander Kent. The book was called “Form Line of Battle,” and it sent me on a search for more books by the same author. Actually, I had already read one or two of C.S. Forester’s Hornblower books, so that…
