Stephen bought a new Aspen 29' travel trailer. He just picked it up Monday and is anxious to try it out. So, I went looking for a couple of side-by-side campsites at a campground somewhere between us. Now this has been a really fiasco.
I finally found a pair at Prairie Creek campground on Beaver Lake in Arkansas. It's a COE campground and though in bad need of updating, it looked okay. So, I made reservations for both of us - site 93 & 95.
Dusty had shown an interest in possibly coming down to camp with us, so we called to see if they wanted me to make reservations for them too. Both Dusty & Traci wanted to come, but was having a hard time pulling the trigger. But, while we were batting it around, I was looking at the campground website for a possible nearby site when I noticed a warning about the road to sites 93 & 95 being very steep and narrow and not satisfactory for larger rigs. Well, that pretty much settled Dusty & Traci's dilemma. They opted out. Then I had to find something more satisfactory for Stephen and us. Luckily, the were two left up the hill in a loop that has sites for larger units. I wondered at the time why these two were still available, but noticed they were $1 more because they have 50 amp electric service. So, it must be the cheap seats fill up first. Anyway, $24.50 later (fees for reservation change and additional $1 per site) we have reservations for Friday through Sunday night.
But, it wasn't over. I was waiting for my doctor to call with appointment dates for a couple of tests he wanted me to take. Sure enough, they have me scheduled for early Friday afternoon. If lucky, they will be done by 3 or 4. We are taking Pumpkin to the appointments and plan on heading on down to Beaver Lake from there.
If anything else falls out of the sky and lands anywhere nearby, I may give up. We're keeping our fingers crossed.
