Actually it’s not all that bad. We made it through San Francisco with no problems. Cost me $10 to cross the Golden Gate Bridge. There is only a toll going into San Francisco but no toll going out. They say they figure they already got your money while you were there so they don’t charge you to go out.
The problems came as we approached out destination. Suddenly the motorhome developed a creak. Man I hate squeaks, creaks, and rattles. Haven’t been able to locate it yet so I will have to put up with it for a while. Upon pulling into the Santa Clara Elks lodge, I ran over a guy’s Sewer Solution hose as he was pumping out his tanks. I thought it was an ordinary green garden hose, flattened it pretty good. He was rather upset until I offered to pay for it, then his anger turned toward his wife who was supposed to make sure no one ran over his hose. I guess I defused that situation by being a nice guy and didn’t have to pay the guy, although it really wasn’t my fault. Good thing too because they aint cheap. While backing into the spot, I got my front license plate shagged in the bushes and ripped it right off the front of the motorhome. That was an easy fix. Then while hooking up the water, the cheapo plastic latch that holds the storage door open broke. A trip to Wal-Mart will fix that. Next came the sucker truck to pump out the grease trap from the sausage factory across the street. What a stink that made. Fortunately it only lasted about 20 minutes. Well we are going to head out to dinner tonight so hopefully we will have a good time and all will be well. Tomorrow it’s back on the road and we will be staying in a real campground (County Park) so that should be good.
On the plus side however, I set my satellite dish on the tripod and went inside to get the settings and it was already downloading the information from the satellite. No adjustments necessary. Sometimes I just get lucky. Also, I am back in Broadband country so my Internet is fast again.
