We did make it to the Northwest Zone, but that was when we were southeast and southwest zone members, and not full members where we could visit any Thousand Trails. It was while we were up there that we decided to buy a used membership and upgrade so we could stay at the parks in the northwest. However, we only made it to one park while there, so we will be going back again to visit. It encompasses Oregon and Washington.
