Sunday / Moving Day for Us

The weather has become so hot here that the last couple days we are having power surges with the RV's electrical. We have had to put on the generator to have the air conditioner on. We went to the "Meet the Manager" meeting yesterday morning and a lot of the complaints were about the electrical. This 1000 Trails park is 28 years old and needs a whole bunch of upgrading, which they are trying to do slowly. We use to park up in section "N", the highest part of the park, because that's where you could get cell service, but there are no trees there and it's pretty far from everything. Anyway, we found out at the meeting "N" Section is, or was, a land fill, that's why it is so high. Great we were parked on probably toxic crap, the only reason we didn't park there the last two times is because we can't get level anymore there. The manager said they had a company come in to try and make the sites level but they stopped because they were having to dig down to low to make it level. They said when it rains the sites will just become flooded, or maybe too toxic maybe???
Yesterday, before we went to the baseball game and after the managers meeting, Dave finally met our next door neighbor, and guess what, he has a special plug, that cost about $500.00, set up in his rig that he is able to plug into his spot and it sucks the juice out of our electrical plug too. So needless to say he isn't having any surges like us, no duh he sucked out all of our juice. I know Dave could explain the technical stuff but I'm writing and it's why over my head so we decided to move to another site this morning instead of turning our next door neighbor in. We stayed in the "N" section and went down about 20 sites, it was nice had a tree, but couldn't get the TV or satellite dish to work. Then we tried to move to another site, Dave was driving and it was a wrong angle, and we kind of got a little stuck, only because I didn't know how to Dave how to get out of the situation, so I took over driving and Dave got us back out. He got me backed out right so then we could pull almost straight into the 2nd spot we had tried to park in. Anyway, we got parked, TV working, satellite for computers working, put slides out plugged in electrical and after a few minutes the box starts smoking. It was really smoking because people across the way even saw it smoking. A couple of the park employees were out working on the electrical so Dave starts chasing one down to let him know about the smoke. Now remember there are a group of people across the way watching us move from site to site. Dave starts coming back to the rig I say we are still plugged into the electrical and he says "unplug us", I say "NO, you have more life insurance then I do, you unplug us". These people across the way start laughing and the women are saying "right on, you let him have it". The park shut the electrical down on are part of the park to check out the box. Long story short we have to move again, there was no way they could save that box today. We finally ended up, still in the "N" section but in a spot with no trees but guess what we have electrical, TV and Internet, 3 more nights here and we are gone, back in Simi Valley for 6 nights visiting with friends, can't wait.

The Bakersfield Blaze lost today, 7-6, didn't go to the game it was at 2pm and it was too darn hot to sit in the sun the whole time, but we are going to tomorrow nights game at 7pm.
