Greetings from Klamath Falls, Oregon! Here I sit, in our RV “Das Bus”, on our biggest RV trip of the year… The Hot-Like-Lava Volcano RV Tour! Sounds like fun, you’re thinking, right?! Yep. Here I sit. In Das Bus. 100+ degree weather. Waiting for a tow truck.
Yes, you read that right. A tow truck, people.
Maybe I should have been warned by all the foreshadowing. Here are some clues that this trip wasn’t going to go well:
CLUE 1: The week Das Bus spent in the shop before we left.
CLUE 2: The key battery dying.
CLUE 3: The RV generator not starting.
CLUE 4: The killer bugs while filming a workout video at our first stop, Mt. Shasta. And I mean killer. They were seriously trying to kill us.
The bugs were probably the Lemurians warning us…TURN BACK! STOP THIS TOUR! YOU’RE ABOUT TO BE STUCK AT A GAS STATION PUMP! Hmmm.
Here’s James wearing our new Mt. Shasta Lemurian good luck crystal pre-breakdown. Lotta good that did…
The closest repair shop is 80 miles away in Medford, Oregon. The tow truck isn’t supposed to arrive for another 2 hours so I have plenty of time to write and air my woes. James is obsessively trying to crank the RV every 30 seconds, apparently hoping for some cosmic intervention. I can’t resist heckling him about it, I’m such a bad wife. We do have a brand new good luck Mt. Shasta crystal hanging from the RV mirror, so who knows. Me, I’m just trying to “plan to have my plans change,” and stay in a healthy frame of mind. James is nagging me not to blog a bunch of complaints. Okay, so instead I’ll tell you how fabulously I’m handling things.
- I’ve already talked to Mercedes Sprinter repair shop and they know we’re coming. Except no one will be there for 2 days. Tomorrow’s the 4th of July. Shop’s closed.
- I’ve booked us a hotel at the Homewood Suites in Medford. Room rates are $160 a night….take that, pocketbook! Hopefully this will just be for 2 nights. (Rubbing the good luck crystal.)
