Note to readers: I posted 2 blogs today.... this one and the following one about the Frank Lloyd Wright Houses we toured. That one will actually follow this.
- Get to the campground tired and hungry after Bessy climbs over almost impossible mountains.
- Decide to position the RV in a "unique" position on a very private and MUDDY campsite, definitely designed for RV's smaller than 35 feet.
- Say, "But if no one comes next door, we can exit through their site." Try it with Bert, the truck, it works great.
- Come back to Bessy hot and tired from looking at Frank Lloyd Wright houses.
- Check with the camp office and find out we can move to site with electricity AND someone is slated to move in next door. Brighten when we get to the site, and they aren't there yet, but know we must hurry.
- Give Deb the walkie talkie... remind her to press the button to talk!
- Make about an 8 point turn and head for the empty campsite... thinking you're home free.
- Miss the fire ring by a hair..... oops there's a rock on the OTHER side...AND a tree that's about to take out the front mirror... Deb sees only the rock.
- Think... "Gee, Bessy sure is wider than Bert!!"
- Do ANOTHER 8 point turn trying to miss the rock and the tree. Get RV wedged over the rock.
- Critical Element: Campers are notoriously helpful and one is watching from across the camp road. He comes to help.
- Brainstorm with him... you decide the best strategy is to move the rock since we can't move the tree.
- Both of you try to be "he men"... but the rock wins the first round.
- Helpful camper goes and gets a rope.
- Deb goes and gets the truck, but makes David back it in and drive it.
- With much straining, and mud-rutting, Bert moves the rock.
- After thanking the helpful camper profusely, Dave pulls out and goes to a campsite with electricity where we can cool off with a little air conditioning in Bessy.
- We recharge our computers, Dave fixes a drink and opens a bottle of wine for Deb, and we write this blog!
