Causing a little stir at River Haven RV Park

Yesterday morning while I was out walking Emma, I chatted with a woman that I later assumed was one of the owners.  She had two questions for me.  First, are you the lady from that nice looking rig?  And then, :), you drive that thing yourself?  To which I answered yes, and I do.  At the end of our conversation, she wished me a pleasant stay in their campground.

 

Later that evening while I was giving Emma a furminator treatment outside in the 97* heat, a man drove up in a pickup truck, and asked me the same questions.  Then he said, “I bet you’re wondering who I am”, and then proceeded to tell me he owned the campground, and after talking to his wife, just had to stop by to meet me.  Sheesh!  I guess I must be the first solo female they’ve had stay here.  Word travels fast in this small community where most of the folks are here for the season or are road construction workers here for the summer. 

Since I was talking to the owner, I asked if I could cross the forbidden line of the dog walk to get some pictures of the Snake River today.  He said, “Sure thing, go down by the Jacuzzi for the best shots.”  Those stairs lead down to a deck with their personal Jacuzzi overlooking the river.  What a nice view of the valley.

So, this afternoon, Emma and I did just that.  You can just barely see the first school bus of the year smack dab in the middle of the picture.  It was the first day of school today, and that bus was bringing a load of students back home.  I bet those kids were all hyped up!  :)

 

I have a neighbor next door now that moved in yesterday afternoon.  He is another road construction worker, and you should have seen him back his very seasoned 35’ Avion trailer into the tight squeeze of a site.  He was towing it with his huge diesel work truck, and didn’t have much room to spare in any direction.  I was staring out my front window watching him thinking…”don’t hit my home!!!”  I needn’t have worried.  Those guys make child’s play out of backing up a rig and putting it exactly where it is supposed to go on the first try!

 

It turns out his wife’s name is Judy, and she watches the grandkids while he moves around the state with the Avion doing his mechanics job.  He volunteered to come over tonight to look at my errant awning, and tapped on my door a little while ago.  Of course, the dang thing worked like a charm with only a little hitch before deploying.  :(  He couldn’t find anything wrong with it, so tomorrow I will try putting it out before the metal heats up in the morning. 

This is the view of the campsites from a bench under the shade of the trees along the perimeter walk where I take Emma.  I haven’t been inclined to try to do a panoramic stitch yet, but this would have been a couple of good pictures to try it on.  :)  If you click to enlarge on the left picture, you can see my rig just to the right of the tree trunk.  It’s the only non-white RV in the park.  Now, if RICK would only teach me how to add arrows and things to my pics, I could have pointed it out.  :)

 

Thanks for stopping by….talk to you later,  Judy
