Inquiring minds want to know! Actually, in our last blog I told you I would let you know where we ended up parking our wheeled house for the summer. It was a tough decision.NOT! Lulu felt like a lost soul. She has to remember Our Home is Where We Park It!
As I mentioned previously, we went back to Trout Run Camp Resort to confirm our site and reservation for 2 months. Its located just about 8 miles down the road from our polebarn. Remember their sites were atrocious?! One site was located next to a man who is constantly making his wooden creations from tree trunksRrrrrrrrrrrrrrr24/7. And if that wasnt enough..the site was right next to the dump station..nice! It was also located under a huge, dead, pine tree with low hanging dead branches. Trillions of old dead pine needles plus, God only know what else, flooded the ground of this horrible site. The owner showed us the next site. Hah! It backed up to the public bathhouse/toilets. Wheres the hookups? The septic was 1/2 mile one way while the electric was a 1/2 mile the other. It wasnt even a site!! Give us a break! This isnt
our first camping trip!! The original site that Cory had picked out for us (in July, 2020) got booked on top of ours.too bad for us! We smell a rat! The owner said he was going to get us a real nice site and get back to us.not to worry! He never got back to us! They sent us an email stating it was time to check in..to where? The absurd sites! We dont think so. Cory responded to the email by saying thanks but, no thanks and give me my refund. When we didnt show up on June 1st, a girl called us and wanted to know where we were. Cory explained the situation. He told her he had stopped several times in person to inform them we Oh she said. Shed refund his minimal deposit. This campground caters to the weekend warriors and it is packed every weekend! It is not a 55 or over resortit looks like a mob scene when you drive past. I think we made the right decision. We are happy for the owner that his campground is so successful.
We are right where we landed upon returning from Florida. We are parked next to our polebarn where we had made a gravel pad and utility hookups. We are very happy here. It doesnt bother us to watch a new life going on in our old house. They have kept it up nicely..which takes a lot of work. We arent missing that at all. Cory has a good system worked out for our water supply. Gunga Guenter is my hero! But we were missing two major items! Big time items: WiFi and TV. Gunga and I were starting to show withdrawal symptoms. Not pretty. Lulu was out of her mind! Her lips quivered constantly. We received the satellite dome that goes on the roof of our RV. Cory knew it wouldnt work where we are parked..the polebarn is in the way! Darn polebarn! Not the easiest to move! But no problem, our satellite will be used for other times. Determined to keep us all happy and content, Cory called the Spectrum Cable Company. Hooray.they could hook us up to cable and the internet at our summer residence. Goody, Goody, Goody. Lulus lips stopped quivering. The cable guy arrived promptly. Yes.right
when he said he would..no Seinfeld stuff here. Whoawe have a problem, Houston. Nooooooooooo. The cable cant go through the metal polebarn..screws up the reception. Plan B: he runs the cable on top of the ground all around the polebarn and brings it to the wooden post Cory has constructed for the cable wire..just like at Tropical Palms. A trencher next week to bury the cable line. Yippee. Okay, now we are all hooked up to the wiring outside. Time to hook up the cable box inside the RV. Noooooooooooo! Another problem, Houston. This fellow worked so hard to make it work..we could get a cable picture but no audio. He tried three boxes! Even with closed caption or us trying to read lips, the system was a no go. Rats! Now what? This guy was a genius. He ended up putting the Spectrum app on our smart TVs and streamed the cable TV through the WiFi internet that he had installed.
