UGH!!!<\/p>\n<p>3\/27\/2018<\/p>\n<p>They say living in an RV there\u2019s always something broken&#8230;&#8230; they don\u2019t lie. The other night, it was dark and guess what it was raining, when we started smelling this very unpleasant odor. After sniffing around, I decided to go outside, in the very dark and rain, to have a look around. Well, best I could tell, did I mention it was dark and raining and that with the ground so saturates water was standing everywhere, it looks like one of our holding tanks sprang a leak.<\/p>\n<p>We have a very large flat fresh water tank, with the holding tanks above that. HUM, probably not the best design. Anyway, one of the tanks sprung a leak and allowed a couple of cups of smelly water to pool on top of the water tank. I took a water hose and sprayed down as best as I could.<\/p>\n<p>Then, by closing off the bedroom and using ceiling fans we were able to get rid of the oder and sleep ok, at first I thought we might not be able to stay in the coach that night.<\/p>\n<p>Since we were scheduled to have some work done next month anyway, rather than mess around in the rain, I called Paul, the guy, in Walkrusa, IN to see if he could get us in early.<\/p>\n<p>The next day 3\/28 had the lowest chance of RAIN \u00a0in both places so 230 miles north we go, drop off the coach and drive the Jeep back.<\/p>\n<p>Ordinarily, we would stay in the coach or in a hotel for a day or two \u00a0BUT he is full up, he has parking, with water and electric, for 4 \u00a0coaches, those spots were all full, and 5 others parked around we were number 6.<\/p>\n<p>We we could not have stayed anyway, my aunt Betty had passed away and I need to be down here for the funeral.<\/p>\n<p>We packed some clothes, emptied the refrigerator, before we moved the coach north and are staying with Mary\u2019s Mom for a few days.<\/p>\n<p>4\/6\/2018<\/p>\n<p>It snowed AGAIN last night!!! We\u2019re not getting to mark much off of the to do list. Between the snow, rain and COLD it\u2019s hard to get anything done.<\/p>\n<p>4\/12\/2018<\/p>\n<p>Finally a couple of nice days, if you like the wind. It was nice not to need to run any heaters in the morning!!! \u00a0The cold UGH!!! \u00a0Of course they do have the possibility go a few flurries a couple of days from now, but we\u2019re finally able to do a couple of our planed projects.<\/p>\n<p>We went looking for a new place to stay the next time we\u2019re in town. They are raising the rates here to one of the most expensive we have stayed in&#8230;.. I don\u2019t think we\u2019re going to stay here again, with the exception of location it has nothing!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>The problem is &#8230;&#8230;.. there are no other parks around, so we may be staying up to an hour away&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;. looks like I need to practice backing up, all the other parks are back in, for more than a few days.<\/p>\n<p>Like a lot of things I\u2019m interested in Louisville is a large void and requires driving to other cities for the things I want. The Louisville area needs another RV park and it should have large updated sites.<\/p>\n<p>4\/14\/2018<\/p>\n<p>The heavy expected rain never came today, no complaints here. It was NICE to get up and not needing the heaters. The sucky weather did let us binge on the newly released Netflix Orgional, Lost In Space. Someone really took a few liberties with the plot. Personally, I think it should have been called something else, that\u2019s how far from the original it is. It could have stood on it\u2019s own, they didn\u2019t need to use the same title.<\/p>\n<p>4\/15\/2018.<\/p>\n<p>Well the good weather didn\u2019t last long, they have flurries in the forecast for in the morning.<\/p>\n<p>Also the rate increase for here may have been a false alarm. The numbers we were given are the same as they currently charge.<\/p>\n<p><b>Recapping our stay<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>3 milestones &#8211; The good.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>1 B day, 1 &#8211; 41st Anniversary doesn\u2019t feel like that long, right at 1 year living in the motorhome, doesn\u2019t feel like that long.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>The bad<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>5 weeks of mostly cold, rainy, snowy, crappy weather!!!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Heard about 2 cases of cancer each with surgery.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Know of one person in and out of rehab and hospital.
