Yeah times 3! We are
finally leaving the beautiful RV repair shop parking lot. It really was great views, quiet neighbors
and beautiful mountain views, but it just didn’t feel like home if you know
what I mean. George got up at 7:00 this
morning and went to Wasilla to a Ford dealership to try to find out what was
wrong with the PU. We just couldn’t
understand why it wouldn’t recognize a tow. Apparently when we had the trailer hitch put
on, they failed to connect something.
Their little error cost us 2 days of vacation, about 10 extra gallons of
gas, $100.00 at the RV repair shop and a $65.00 repair bill at the Ford
dealership in Wasilla. I understand
honest mistakes, but we specifically asked this company if they tested it and how
we were going to Alaska and they told us we were good to go. Then to top it off, they didn’t even return
my call when I left a message telling how we were stranded.
This trip was planned as our honeymoon trip. I think everyone should take a trip like this
probably before you get married and then make that big decision. But, we are finally settled into our 5th
wheel and it is beautiful up here.
Mountains all around us, great weather, fresh air. We just couldn’t ask for more. We are very blessed and we both keep
reminding each other how well we have it.
People crossed these mountains on foot to get here and we laughed at how
we were whining just the other day coming down the mountain roads in a nice warm
pick up. Kind of humbling and puts things into perspective.
Back to the honeymoon part.
I will try to do this tasteful, but it was pretty funny. We were christening our new home and during a
romantic moment, we both started laughing about the same time. You know the old saying, “Don’t come a
knockin’ if the RV’s a rockin’? We
always heard everyone joke around about that whenever someone got a new
RV. Well, let me make it clear; that’s
not some old wives tale.
George has his own “honey do” list going. He has been hooking things up, tightening
this and that. Oh yeah, he was going to
put some stabilizers on the front.
