Small World!

We laid low yesterday giving the medicine time to start working on Dave. He is feeling punky and is dizzy and aching all over, reactions that are noted on the info sheet. We did run a few errands in early afternoon and we were gone from the campground around 3 hours. When we got back we were surprised at how fast the campground filled up. It's fun to watch RVs come in and set up. Where we are sitting in this campground we can get a good look at what pulls in. We ooh and aah and watch folks in their routines and remark to each other that sometimes there is no sanitary precautions that people make. Like not cleaning off the water spigot, or not wearing protective gear or using protective wipes when dealing with sewer/water hookups. One little incident with a cut on a hand coming in contact with sewer stuff - and big time infection could set in. As a matter of fact we go through so much hand sanitizer it's amazing.

About 6pm we watched a huge travel trailer with a Dodge truck pulling it come into the campground and WOW. Looked again and we said 'IT'S A PARK MODEL!' which means - this type of travel trailer (box like) is meant to be sitting permanently at a campground, not to be pulled around the country. We eventually want to look into a Park Model when we find the right place to sit for months at a time. This picture shows our unit - second from the left - and if you blow up the picture - the far right one with all the windows - is the Park Model. Dave struck up a conversation with the folks, found out that they are from Elyria (city near where we lived in Vermilion) and that this was their maiden voyage. And they are scared big time! Dave came back to tell me that they were from Ohio and let's go back to talk more with them - in conversation we found out that they are from Pier-Lon Campground in Medina Ohio! Talk about small world! That's where we left from July 30th. Pier-Lon owner and their worker-bee are so concerned about them that they asked every other day to call to make sure they are okay. This couple is rethinking their plans and are going to head back to Ohio instead of pushing on - it's just too big to move around. Amen.
