Ummmm, no. It was clear skies on the drive up Friday afternoon and the closer we got to Bay City the darker the clouds became until those rotten clouds turned into rapid downpour. (I guess central Michigan had a few tornados to contend with that we didn’t, so good luck for me on that one.)
Fine.
Maybe it will pass soon and I can get camp set up then it can do whatever it pleases.
No luck there either.
For those of you that know me, know that I could not back my camper up if you were to offer me large sums of money. No…..not even on a dare. I don’t know why and I am tired of trying to figure it out – I just CAN’T.
So the fact that MY campsite was surrounded by impassable trees and other campers, a ‘drive through’ wasn’t going to happen either. I had to pull up, get out, get soaked, drag the camper through the stubborn mud and set up camp with just me and the Boy in ….THE RAIN.
Thank G-d Shell and Big D showed up or I would have put the camper wherever it stopped. Hill or no hill, the wheel was stuck and not moving.
Shell and Pee have those pictures on their blogs, as I was too busy frantically getting camp up to worry about getting good shots. Shell on the other hand, took joy in bouncing around me snapping away.
Wench.
Regardless…..camp got up (I ended up in a darn good position and managed to keep the inside of the camper dry) and the sun came out JUST as I was finishing.
Why didn’t I just wait? ‘Cause that bastard DNR jerk told me that it was going to rain until midnight…..not for just an hour that it actually did.
Friday night Shell got skunked, Pee got injured and the neighbors were loud and had unnaturally bright flood lights on the BACK of his camper, blasting us in the face and eyes. This caused an already sauced Shell to get rather loud and fussy, and the Man was mature enough to ask them to turn them off.
Saturday morning we woke to freezing cold weather and rain, so we ate breakfast and the other two camps went back to bed.
I chose this time to gather some precious photos myself.
Pretty huh?
After all this, the sun decided to come BACK OUT and the rest of the weekend was picture perfect.
Of course, this is when the Mister and Em showed up.
Happy Monday!
