Our son's family lives down on Washington St. South, but I can't quite fit the coach down his driveway to park in his big yard, and when I parked on his front yard we left ruts that I had to fix. So when someone mentioned the park we tried it and stayed about 10 days. It works out well since Lee was born in Murtaugh and grew up in Hagerman, we can travel in all directions to visit relatives, and see the kids, grand kids, and great grandchildren on Washington St. only a few miles south. The main drag, Blue Lakes Blvd., is a hop away as are malls, Fred Meyer Store, countless restaurants, and Costco. We stayed at Hwy 93 Park once, but was too expensive for what and where it was.
New Yorkers who parked next to us at Rock Creek liked the area enough to buy a nearby lot and settle in for good on a small horse ranch. It gets a bit too hot and dry in summer for my native beaver tail, but okay to visit. They expanded the park to the west in 2008 I think, but the 9 spots on the east end are nicer and all face the well kept green space and the creek, though none on that side are pull throughs. No biggy for us since we stay for so long and the toad is always unhooked. They didn't have sewer hookups, but a honey wagon goes through once a week, and a free dump is a mile southeast of the park at Washington St. N. and 4th Ave. W.
I actually thought they were adding onto the hospital, so am surprised they moved it. They were building a new hospital down the road in '08, and I thought it was another outfit, but it must have been a new St. Luke's. We got a kick sitting on the patio by the rig and watching the helicopters fly on and off the hospital roof and low over our heads, so I'll miss that.
