Still camped in N. AR. After surviving the severe weather earlier in the week including hail and high winds, I had another scare yesterday.
Returned to the park mid afternoon yesterday just to check on things. As I was leaving the park owner, who is a great guy and owns a 97 Vogue ,came racing over on his 4 wheeler. Proceeds to tell me how a plastic coach was checking in that morning and he was visiting with the guy in the office. My bus is sitting towards the bottom of a gradual hill directly down from the office.
Someone jumped in the office door and said a motorhome was rolling backwards. He and the owner ran outside and saw his motorhome rolling down the hill towards yours trulys bus. Park owner grabbed the bumper and was trying to slow it down (admittedly silly) while the ~ 65 year old owner ran around towards the door.
He tells me how the owner somehow got in and got the motorhome stopped. I still didn't quite snap about how close we came until he pointed to my feet. Standing 10 feet in front of my coach, there were 2 dually skid marks under my feet.:eek::eek: 2 more seconds, and I've got a 40' Monaco mated to the front of the red bus. Holy crap - I am glad I didn't have to witness that. Park owner told me he almost puked he got so quesy over the deal.
