Well we are bedded down for the night.? Accessing Internet via Verizon as too tired to climb the roof.
We had a lot of things to deal with today, so did not get started as early as planned.? We arrived here at the Casino at 5:30 pm and almost did not get a spot.? ?: 'This place is VERY crowded.? Not many cars and the Casino itself is nearly empty, but tons of motorhomes and 18 wheelers.? I counted over 50 motorhomes.? 51 I believe, though at my age it is hard to keep count.? ?;D
It is now 10 pm Pacific time, and I don;t think you could find a spot in the MH section unless you were VERY creative.? This worries me somewhat as tomorrow is Friday and by evening should have a much bigger crowd than a Thursday night crowd.? Not only would there be FMCAers gathering before Saturday morning Pomona check in, but I would think a pretty good crowd for weekend gambling etc.
If tonight is at capacity, what will Friday night bring??
Seeing what I see now, I would seriously plan on arriving by noon, or at the very latest early afternoon.? Maybe I am in-experienced in casino watching and there will not be a problem for late arrivals, but both myself and the Admiral, with our limited experience, think that this place will be filled to the seams by Friday night.? Since the 18 wheelers are parked in a different section than the Motorhomes, even a trucker taking the weekend off will not lesson the parking pressure unless they allow MHs to park in 18 wheeler spots over Friday night.
Don't know.? Just reporting our observations so that the more experienced here can make their own decision.? If I were leaving for Indio on Friday, I personally would try to be here before noon.
Currently we are parked in the back row of MHs... in our silver and gray Newmar Country Star with the red Taurus station wagon. Tomorrow morning if someone pulls out over at the side by the gravel, we will move there so our slides will not be in anyone's way. Everyone has their slides out here, so we opted to put out two slides on the driver side. Not comfortable about doing that, but it sure helps getting around inside. I did not see any coaches with slides without having at least one out.
