It's been a while since our first/last post, but we've been without Internet service. Rolled into our local campground for two weeks to work out all the bugs and get the WhooHooWonderBus ready to roll. As with most adventures, adjustments had to be made. The first campsite was just too small for WHWB and she had to move.
The welcoming committee showed up at the new site and several times a day every day looking for some kind of hand out [they were ducks - three of them]. Sometimes they brought their buds, two Canada Geese. Just hungry mischief-makers looking to make the dogs bark. Totally fearless, but very consistent.
A day or two into our adventure a fellow camper was whisked away by ambulance and sheriff's deputy. According to his brother-in-law, he suffered medical amnesia and had been missing from St. Louis, MO for five days. Of course he showed up in our campground.
Then there was the terrible weather - thunder, rain, high winds - and a HUGE tree fell two sites over during the night. It blocked the road and scared off two families of campers behind us the next day. With nowhere to run and hide, we stuck it out. Alcohol helps in times like this...
During our stay we invested in a 'poop wagon.' This is a handy little plastic vessel on wheels that you download your crap into and haul away to the dump station. Too much trouble to unhook and can't burn the precious diesel to drive a hundred yards to dump the crapper. Oh the adventures the 'poop wagon' has provided. Did you know that if the connections aren't tight you can take a crap shower whether you want to or not? We have no complaints about the bath house - it was quite pleasurable to wash all that crap off. At least it was our own crap and not someone else's...
One thing about living in a motorhome, you become really frugal with water usage, especially seeing how you are responsible for emptying what you use. Everything has to have its place - even the 'poop wagon.' Crap is a priority. Can't let the tanks get too full - can't overfill the poop wagon - all connections must be tight... Lots of rules to remember. Crap rules!
BTW, we invested in a wireless air card for the laptop so we can have Internet access in most places and keep up with the world.
Today [5/15] we traveled north on our journey and are just outside Statesville, NC in a pleasant campground complete with a pool, playground, and a hearse decorated with flames...
We head out tomorrow for the NC coast and Waves, NC. We will attempt to upload photos of our adventure so far.
