Decided to head out this past weekend. Left home Friday after work...headed to Lancaster PA...our favorite "local" CG. Wasn't able to get our normal site so got one close by....for the view of farm country and the Amish going by in their horse and buggies.
Rained like crazy on the way. Made the mistake of taking highway...lots of construction and cattle chute driving.
We arrived and the site was sloped down in the back. Had a stone "ramp" but couldn't really use.......the rear stabilizers were 3 ft off the ground. Must have backed up and hooked up/unhooked 10 times. Had to raise the rear to lower the front enough. Took us 2 1/2 hrs to setup. Rained the whole time. My jeans were soaked. Did not bring another pair...my own fault.
Forgot the anode for the hot water was removed from the hot water heater. Opened the bypass and water flowed right into the hot water heater....then right out. Thought something froze/cracked over the winter. Glad it was just the anode that had to be reinstalled. Sewer hose was about a foot short so had to add the extender in the rain. I was so sick/tired I just sat on a wet picnic bench to change the sewer hose ends....in the rain.
My DW went to get something out of the truck. Her shoe got stuck in the mud and came off. Then she walked behind the truck and slammed her shin on the hitch tow bar. She broke into hysterical laughter.
The next morning...no hot water....turned on the inside switch but forgot to turn the switch on outside.
My jeans were still wet in the morning so the DW took the dog out for a morning walk. Ran the heater at 80 and used it to dry my jeans.
Went looking for my wife and puppy. walked over the entire CG....no where to be found. Here she somehow got invited into the camper of the people who took our favorite site. She was in there talkin away......and I was walking all over looking.
Sat and Sun were a little chilly but the sun was out.
Got home ok......all is good. Only downhill from here (I hope!).
