Full Timing Journal - July 2008

July 27, 2008 - We've had a great time this week visiting with Larry & Phyllis but it's time to head back to Hartland. We arrived back at Waldenwoods about 12:30 PM and got set up. This marks the first time I've run into a REALLY rude camper. Our "neighbors" to our left attacked me as soon as we setup. Apparently our motorhome was blocking her view of the dump station and the storage lot and she DEMANDED that I back up. I tried to explain to her that if I backed up, once I leveled, the front wheels would be off the ground because of the slope. She proceeded to tell me this was Bull**** and headed to the office to "report" me. I laughed at her as she came back from the office with her head turned away from me. I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall in the office when they heard that story!

July 20, 2008 - We left Standish (finally) and arrived in Alpena, MI at Camper's Cove. Once again, no satellite. However we do have decent cell phone coverage here and marginal aircard. We came up here to meet up with our friends Larry & Phyllis that we met in Mission, TX last winter. We got set up and headed over to their house. Larry cooked out some barbeque chicken and we sat around and enjoyed the cool weather.

July 14, 2008 - This was a mistake. Little or no cell phone coverage and only a handful of sites that we can get satellite. Of course we're NOT in one of them. This park is a ZOO with a capital Z. Millions of kids everywhere. The speed limit in this park is 5 mph which is a LITTLE extreme. The management constantly threatens you about the speed limit and they fly all over the park at 30+ mph. We won't be back here.

July 13, 2008 - Our two weeks at Waldenwoods are up and we're headed for Standish, MI to Saginaw Bay Resort.

July 4, 2008 - Waldenwoods put on a great fireworks show tonight. Bob & Nancy and Danny & Cheryl came over. We cooked out burgers, had a nice fire and watched the fireworks. Cool weather in July, it doesn't get any better than this.
