Relax, don't get your knickers in a twist, it isn't all that or the bag of chips. In fact, I might prefer the bag of chips over the place we went to. But some wise person back in the good ol' days said that life isn't so much about the destination as it is about the journey. I'm fairly certain I am related to that person, as it sounds like something I'd come up with...I digress...
So here we sit at Dickens RV park, in good old Moncure, NC. It consists of a parking spot, a hitchin' post (water/sewer/electric connections), and eleventy billion of our closest neighbor/friends parked on top of one another. We got here right as every other RVer on the planet was already here enjoying the simple pleasures of staring at the "new bath house", which is the only other thing here at the site that isn't an RV or the people driving them. I can't really say the bath house is the only thing here. There is also a swing set, 3 trees (for shade you know), and half a billion pounds of gravel for your parking pleasure. I should have known that when the website said "rural", it meant "in the boonies".
I'm not bashing the place. It's good for what we need it for...a place to learn about the RV. Dickens RV park is reasonably priced, quiet, and populated with some good folks. We parked next door to some full timers and talked with them for several hours about everything under the sun. Good people, nice meeting you Paul and Viki. All in all, day one went well. We got here in one piece, which is always a plus, hooked up the systems, met some new people, ate some food, and went to bed. Which is where the problems started...
Apparently, you can use our RV to hang meat in if you turn the AC temp down low enough. Which is what we did the first night, not knowing any better. Mellie woke up at 4AM with icicles hanging from her nose, and completely stuffed up. Couple that with the sneezing, coughing, runny nose, where is the Nyquil when you need it symptoms, and it made for a long night. No, really, where is the Nyquil when we needed it? Note to self...bring Nyquil for RV...
After running to the store (hooray Wal Mart) to obtain said Nyquil, I got back and Mellie went into a Nyquil induced sleeping coma for about 3 hours. Ahh, blessed relief/sleep. Nap time was nice, now to close out the rest of today.
Editor's note: I am not now, nor have I ever been, a spokesperson for Nyquil...although if anyone from said company is reading this and is looking for a spokesperson, look no further :) I'm your huckleberry.
