2 weeks Just Flew By!!

And SO much has happened!! We love our little site here in Camptonville.....trees, a little grassy area and a table. The first thing to happen was when we drove the Magic Bus to Chris' Collision we found out that AGAIN the insurance company was NOT going to pay for our roof saying it was not maintained properly. My disdain  for insurance companies is HUGE!!!! It makes me SO angry that you pay all the premiums on time, every month and when you need them, they find a loophole. Arrrggggghhhh
Ok, so back to Camptonville in the heavy rain only to discover we had NO power, even hooked up! We  couldn't figure it out. In and out of the coach checking the connections, checking batteries and anything else we could think of IN THE POURING RAIN! We don't have much cell service here, so Alan took off to call PG&E. I sat down in our now dark RV and just cried and cried. The stress of constant repairs has been very hard on us. Alan came back and PG&E was no help at all.  We decided to just call it a night and started getting Lisa ready for bed, teeth brushed, all the usual. Lisa was down and we started to our bed......but rain was leaking right onto our bed!!!!!! @#$%%^&&***((()()!!!! More crying on my part, more "blue sky" for Alan. It was clear that regardless of everything else, we had to get those slides back in! Poor Lisa! Had to get her back up to pull in the slides. When we brought in the bedroom slide, about 2 cups of water just poured in on the floor. I threw a towel down and sopped up as much as I could, then left it there. We went to bed listening to the rain pound on the roof and wondering what in the hell we had done to deserve all this crappy luck.
In the morning, Alan called Camping World and they said to come right down. They had the rig for the day, discovered our electrical problem and 3 BAD house batteries. We met a friend for lunch and made new friends sitting in the waiting room. At lunch, we decided to have Camping World do a 45 point inspection, so we spent the night in their parking lot.....VERY noisy, right next to Highway 80, but we ran the generator and watched a movie and felt better about the world. Happily, Camping World didn't find much else wrong and thought the Magic Bus was in good shape "except for that roof". We have an appointment to get that fixed on the 12th. At that time, Alan and I are gonna take Lisa to her sister's (thanks Linda and Jorge!) and we are going to the coast for a MUCH needed couples getaway!
 Just realized I forgot to tell you about a shoe shrine between Fallon and Ely, NV!! We were sitting in the front, having stopped for lunch and driver change. In front of us in this little turn out, we realized we were looking at HUNDREDS of shoes hanging out of a fairly large tree!! Then, we noticed in the ravine next to us even more shoes! There was even a sign! Check it out! I even heard it's kinda famous! To me, it felt kinda creepy....complete with shot gun shells all over the place.
