Crappy campground and broken dishes!

June 26 – Time to move on to our next campground.  We staggered in leaving so we would not create havoc as our campground for the next 2 nights was a first come, first served place.  The theory was for us to arrive between 9-10 this morning so we could get spots as people left.   We were towards the end of the line but when we arrived what a cluster.  It’s a poorly laid out campground and very narrow spaces and in town.  We had about half of our rigs parked and then were told they were getting too many complaints from their guests that our RV’s were noisy and too big for the sites.  The owner then  said he owned another campground about 15 miles away that is also first come first served.  They both only had electric but the new one was only 20 amp, which is minimal for a motorhome.

So we started unhooking and bringing up the legs and bringing in the slides and I followed Bill to the exit.  They have really high speed bumps and as I went over them I heard crashing behind me in the kitchen area.  I stopped at the end of the driveway and my cabinet with my plates and bowls had opened and almost all of my plates fell out.  I ended up with 5 of my 6 dessert plates in a million pieces.  I scraped as much of the broken stuff into the sink and put the plates that fell but did not break in the sink and Bill had backed up wondering what was taking me so long.  I followed him to the new campground.  It was wide open and bigger spaces and only a few RV’s/tents on the sites.  So, we all picked a spot and got hooked up.  We mainly wanted to make sure the fridge had power and we could also open the ceiling vents so it was fine. 

When it came time to make dinner I had to rethink the process.  I was heating up meatloaf and was going to bake a potato in the microwave, but that was not going to happen.  I sliced the potatoes into planks and turned on the gas stove and oiled up a skillet and put them in to start cooking.  Once they were browned and getting tender I turned them over and moved them around to make enough room to put the slices of meatloaf in.  While that was cooking I made salads which fortunately don’t need any cooking!  It tuned out great and there was only one dirty pan!

We just chilled for the rest of the evening as the mosquitoes are bad outside.
