Gather the animals, two by two…
Gather the animals, two by two… but be more picky this time.
Maybe not two of everything!
The rainstorms just won’t let up. Some places around here have had almost 8 inches. We’ve probably had 4 or 5 inches here at the park.
Luckily, we’re parked on an asphalt pad here. The last time we had rain like this while we were parked was last October in Sioux Falls, SD. Except then, we were parked on a grass site at the local fairgrounds (A lot of fairgrounds have a small number of RV sites for rent).
When we went to leave after 6 days, we couldn’t.
We were stuck and had to be towed out. The grass that was fine when we pulled in had turned to a muddy muck by the time we were ready to leave. It was pouring down rain when the tow driver showed up and the poor guy had to crawl under the front of the coach in the mud to hook up the tow cables. Once he had us hooked up, it only took about 10 minutes to slowly winch us out.
We have Good Sams Emergency Road Service so the tow didn’t cost us anything, but I gave him a big tip.
