SAULK RAPIDS, MINNESOTA

WE WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO SPENDING TIME WITH  JACOB, SONYA AND ZACHARY, IT HAD BEEN WAY  TOO LONG!  THREE YEARS!  ZACHARY  WAS HOME FROM COLLEGE AND WOULD BE HOME FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF WEEKS. WE GOT TO THEIR HOUSE EARLY AFTERNOON.  DARRELL AND JACOB UNLOADED WHAT WE NEEDED OUT OF THE RV. DARRELL TOOK OUT THE TABLE AND SEVERAL CRATES IN THE UNDERBELLY  SO THE REPAIR FOLKS WOULD HAVE ROOM TO WORK. WE WOULD BE STAYING WITH  JSZ WHILE THE NEW  RV REFRIGERATOR COOLING UNIT WAS BEING PUT IN. MONDAY, AUGUST 3RD, WE WOULD HEAD OUT TO ST. CLOUD/CLEARWATER RV PARK.  DARRELL AND JACOB TOOK THE RV OUT TO PLEASURELAND RV LATER THAT AFTERNOON.
SONYA HAD LINED UP PROJECTS FOR THE GUYS......I HAD BEEN TELLING HER DARRELL NEEDED SOMETHING TO DO! SHE HAD A LIST. THE FIRST PROJECT WAS THIS LITTLE CEMENT PROJECT.

IT LOOKED REALLY NICE!

ON THURSDAY, JULY 30 DARRELL AND JACOB TOOK THE TRUCK FOR THE ESTIMATE OF DAMAGE. THE DAMAGE WAS $$3,392.33.  GEICO WROTE US A CHECK AND ST. CLOUD COLLISION WOULD START THE WORK ON MONDAY, AUGUST 10. GEICO WOULD PAY FOR US A RENTAL CAR.

DARRELL AND JACOB PICKED UP THE RV FRIDAY AFTERNOON, WITH NO CHARGE TO US. DOMETIC HAD PAID THE WHOLE BILL, WE THOUGHT DOMETIC WOULD PROVIDE THE COOLING UNIT AND WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LABOR TO INSTALL. WE WERE HAPPY AND SURPRISED! THE REFRIGERATOR WAS COOLING!!  WE PARKED THE RV BETWEEN THEIR HOUSE AND THE POND. IT FIT GOOD.

ON SUNDAY, JACOB THOUGHT WE  SHOULD DRIVE OUT TO  ST. CLOUD/CLEARWATER RV PARK OUT TO CHECK IT OUT.  I AM SO GLAD WE DID......DARRELL DIDN'T THINK WE COULD GET THE RV IN THERE. IT WAS REALLY TIGHT WITH LOW GROWING TREES. WE CHECKED  OUT ANOTHER  RV  PARK  IN CLEARWATER, IT WAS WORSE. ON THE WAY HOME WE ASKED JACOB TO SHOW US THE ST. CLOUD RV PARK. WE DROVE THROUGH AND LOVED IT. SONYA SAID, " LET'S JUST STOP AND ASK, MAYBE THEY'VE HAD A CANCELLATION."  DARRELL AND I WENT IN AND TOLD THE MAN BEHIND THE COUNTER THAT WE HAD CALLED ABOUT A RESERVATION A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND WE WERE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING AVAILABLE IN A 50 AMP SITE. WE ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY 30 AMP SITES AVAILABLE. HE LOOKED AT HIS COMPUTER FOR A WHILE AND THEN SAID HE WOULD HAVE A 50 AMP PULL-THRU SITE AVAILABE THE 9TH OF AUGUST FOR A MONTH. WE TOOK IT! WE WERE SO HAPPY, IT WAS VERY CLOSE TO JACOB AND SONYA'S HOUSE.
