Well, Jim and I decided to spend our Pioneer Day at Manzanita - quite an interesting and informative trip.
We got down to the property in plenty of time - gonna move the trailer from it's storage area, pull the backhoe out, and get all set up to work.. Well, we get into the RV, and realize that the battery is dead. We hook up the RV battery to the van's battery, and after 10 or 20 minutes, we realize that absolutely nothing is happening... this battery is dead.
Plan B - We decide to drive back to Panguitch, where our storage building is at, and pull the generator out - then hook up the RV to the generator, and we can at least have lights and stove etc. We drive back, but realize that it's getting dark, so we really have to hurry... OR, Plan C, just look for a hotel for the night, and pull the generator out the next day.
We check on every single hotel between the cabin and Panguitch and there is not a single room available. So, we're back to plan B. We get the generator out of storage, and drive back to the RV to hook it up.. We rush like crazy because it's getting dark, and we're hungry and we know that everything closes down at about 9...
While Jim is hooking up the generator, I go through the cupboard's in the RV... the contents were as follows: 1 can of cream of potato soup
BBQ sauce
a 1 serving bowl of cinnamon crunch cereal
1 can of tuna
1 can of chicken
I felt like we were on an episode of Chopped! With such a strange grouping of products, I had absolutely no idea what to make... every suggestion that I had, Jim looked at me like I was crazy..
We decide to drive up to Duck Creek because they are in the middle of Duck Creek Days, with lots of exhibits and music and dancing... and food... We get to the little festival at about 9:30 pm or so, and find out that all the concessions closed at 8... um, ok? I mean, everything in this village is closed, including the restaurants, the gas stations, everything.
We decide that we are just going to go back to the RV and go to bed - didn't seem like there was any other choice. As we're wandering around, we run into our realtor that sold us the property in the first place. We had a nice little visit and decide to go... Duck Creek Village is out in the middle of no where, and all the way back to the RV, we have to keep slowing down because of the deer that are in the middle of the road, to the side of the road, in the ditch by the road, or jumping out onto the road. And, then, I get a text from our realtor. She says that she doesn't live too far, and to follow her to her house.. We do so, and she made the most amazing picnic for us - sandwiches, and fruit and treats... We are so amazingly appreciative... Took it back to our trailer, and had a feast... Thank you to Cathy at Trophy Realty - you rock!
There are some things about the trailer that I just don't like.. I don't like the size of the bathroom, I don't like the size of the shower - and this became really, really at the forefront this trip. We drove into Panguitch to a local camping area, and took a shower, got cleaned up, and then went to breakfast...During the next day and a half, we decided there are going to be some major changes coming about with this whole RV situation - Jim and I have discussed them at length and know exactly what direction to go, to make the both of us happy...
Stay tuned...
