I never heard of it either! It took all day to get here. The drive was so pretty thru the mountains. The views were so pretty. Ghost had a hard time settling down so I had to pet him off and on for over an hour….good kitty.

We finally stopped for gas, and I went and got the sandwiches I made last night. Mine was only a half Rye with turkey and Swiss, lettuce, tomato, home grown, with mustard. It’s good to control the hunger for a 6 hour drive. It was cloudy for the most part, which is good for driving.

We finally pulled into our spot. I went to open the RV my job is inside. But, OMG! Did you hear me scream? The first time in all my years of camping this has never happened. The ride sometimes was over extreme bumps in the road. It caused the RV to jump up and down. Now I know this to be the case and I had a velcro band around the refrigerator doors and a bungee cord thru the doors holding the freezer part. WELL !

The front top doors opened, and the freezer opened not much but enough that a jar of green salsa opened and green slime was EVERYWHERE! He said I should have taken a picture, and I’m so sorry I didn’t. TALK ABOUT A MESS!

Crap, I had to take apart the freezer because while the salsa was all over the frig and floor it ended up in the freezer and dumped it all over everything in the baskets and floor of the freezer. You can’t imagine the horror of cleaning it all up. I managed to get the huge tray out and wash it along with the food bags..each one. Then the floor and the freezer parts and then the intricate cracks and small areas. It took a few hours to complete. I’m so done.

Oh, then I’m reading my book and we stop to go to the bathroom. Instead of moving my book marker to the page I’m on I just closed the book. I had to search thru pages to find where I was. DUMB right!

We had leftovers for dinner. The thought of cooking was out! I just wanted to watch the country music fest on channel 7. We don’t get channel 7! I hate that it happened he did try to get it.

The scenery and the mountains were so pretty. Then, once in a while, you got to see the valley with the farms and houses!

I am beat. It’s time to relax and read my book since I can’t watch country music fest

Thanks for stopping by it is truly appreciated and my hope is somewhere there is a smile! Be safe and stay cool! Enjoy!

    Wow!  I never heard of it either, so I looked it up. You are in dinky boondock nowheresville in western PA!  I’m surprised there was a camping place.  Are any other people there?  Must be a busy place in hunting season.  I was reading the specs about Emlenton, there’s barely 500 people living there and the median income is like $25,000. I felt so sorry for you having to clean up all that crap.  Been there, done that.  Maybe your RV guy will have a suggestion for how to better secure the refrigerator.  I’m sure other people have had this problem.    I’ve also gotten distracted and closed a book without putting in the bookmark, plus I’ve dropped a book many times and the bookmark fell out!  You’re lucky you can read in the vehicle.  I will throw up if I even try to read a map.  My husband would go so pissed because he’d ha e to pull over and read the map himself.  Ya know, in the primitive days when there was no GPS.
