After all the bad stuff that occurred yesterday, we woke up to a beautiful day in Shipshewana, Indiana. Shelton was able to locate a facility in a nearby town that had a replacement windshield in stock and could install it tomorrow.
We were beginning to think that our troubles were behind us.
We went into town and toured the shops, and took a horse-and-buggy tour of the surrounding area.
After an excellent lunch at a local restaurant, we bought some fresh produce and some fabulous locally-made cheese and meat at the market.
Then, when we got back to the campground, we found that our trailer had been unplugged. Our dogs had been locked in the trailer while the temperature went to 100 degrees inside, and there was a nasty note on our door saying that the power pedestal was to be shared and that I could not use both 30 amp plugs – as we had arranged to do the day before when the 50 amp site we had reserved months ago was not available.
Somebody had moved in next door today, and when he saw that we were using both plugs, he complained. Instead of moving him to another site – like they made us do yesterday, and most of the other campsites were available – the guy just came out and unplugged us.
I never saw the guy that did it. He signed the note the mgt, but the lady running the office wouldn’t admit to knowing who had done it and even claimed not to recognize the handwriting. She told me that my only options were to move to a 50 amp site with lights and water only, or to take a refund and leave.
We moved to the other site, but Honey got so hot arranging stuff inside the trailer for the move that I had to make her go out and sit in the truck.
Once we were set up in our third site in two days at this same park, I went back to the office and told the lady that her employee had damn near killed our dogs and considering the way we had been jerked around over the past two days, the least she could do was give us a refund for one of the two days. She agreed and processed the refund. Not sure what she would have done if I had said she damn near killed my wife, too.
sounds like a really rough start :( really hope it gets better soon! luv u!

I related this story to my Barb, and she totaly agreed with Honey's anger. She said if anything had harmed our dog, the newspaper headlines for the next would have read "Campsite worker shot by heartbroke camper!" Kirk Dabney
