We arrived in Massachusetts in the rain. What happened next was a first-time experience! Although we had agreed beforehand if it was raining hard, we would not set up but just drive to the site and wait for it to stop. Once we got there, we instinctively non-verbally agreed “let’s just get it over with”. My motive was I wanted to get inside out of the damp and cold, in front of my fireplace with a warm cup of something.
The campground is in a mountainous area so most of the campsites are not totally level. It’s so rural we had a black bear cub right in front of us as we got close to the campground. My mind flashed back to Guntersville State Park and not sitting on all four tires. Little did I realize I was being prophetic, but after unhitching and going through the leveling process, we had two tires not touching the ground! Bear in mind, all of this is happening in the rain. We needed to prop up the tires on the side that had taken to the air. Jim got some wood planks from the office and we had to hitch back up and back the RV onto the 6 inch wide planks.
I admit I thought it would be too difficult to do on a first try. I even tried to talk Jim out of the plan, but fortunately for me he knew what he was doing and got us on the planks on the first try. From there, it was a quick 30 minute process to finish the hook up and get inside. The weather is supposed to be miserable for the rest of our stay with only glimmers of hope on days with only a 40% chance of rain but cloudy 100% of the time. I now realize why some people in the North have such bad attitudes. If I lived here, I would be one of those people!
