We're taking a trip with some family members from the east coast who have
never been "out west" before. I thought we'd leave the ranch in central
Texas, head out to Tahoe, and take in the usual sights along the way (Grand

We are going to Oregon with a rental RV. I see on many KOA campgrounds that
it is possible to get cable.
We are renting with El Monte and we are taking a laptop with us.
What is the best way to be able to watch TV during our 14 day stay in the

Late Sunday afternoon, Bob and I headed over to Silver River State

Hi Gang,
