We’re surrounded by water!


I heard the rain in the night but had no idea how much it had poured until I woke this morning and realized we were surrounded by water. It wasn’t everywhere – just our site. And it wasn’t a little. There was easily 3” of water totally surrounding our rig – and spread about 2’ beyond our rig on all sides. We wish we had brought our rubber boots with us.

The internet shut down about 10 p.m. last night, and still wasn’t working this morning. Marcel donned his gummies (trying to jump the water around us) and walked over to the office to mention this to the lady there. When he returned, I was just in the process of putting our little white step stool out to give him a step half way between dry land and our coach. 

We decided to have a quiet day today. After our neighbour moved, we moved into site 30 – at least it is dry here and our cord will now reach to give us 50 amps. I defrosted the freezer, we swept and then spent the rest of the day watching the entire first season of "Republic of Doyle", the TV series that Mike and Judy loaned us on DVD. I took advantage of the down time too, and cooked some turkey thighs in the slow cooker (for another day) and made Schnitzel for dinner.
