7/14/08 The Peacock Comes to Visit

Today we hung around the campground, doing normal things like laundry.

Bob was busy checking out car rentals for us because when we fly home to Delaware we'll be leaving our rig and truck at Don and Billie's (Quail Run) place here in Idaho and we're flying out of Salt Lake City, Utah so we'll need a car to get there. Well, this isn't going to work! It will cost us $140.00 for one day's rental because we're leaving it at a place other than where we picked it up. Uh-uh, not going to work, move on to Plan B. I called Steve and Carol from Quail Run because they also invited us to their place. Their invitation was still good and since they live only 18 miles from the airport they will take us and pick us up when we return. Gosh our plans change so quickly sometimes. Ok, so that's all set. Haven't I been telling you that we just make the nicest friends!

I called Don from Quail Run to let him know that we were in Idaho Falls and that our plans have changed, I got his answering machine. A short while later he returned my call and said that he was in Idaho Falls and would be at our place within the half hour. It was so great to see him! He visited with us for about 30 - 45 minutes and we agreed that when we returned from our visit home that we would come to his place for a few days so he and Bob could go fishing.

We had new neighbors move in today and they were at the Escapade in Gillette. We were talking about the Escapade and it was soon apparent that they were not Happy Campers! Jim told me he was so disappointed in his first Escapade that he isn't even going to renew his membership and had even written that on his critique form. It isn't just US! This experience sure isn't what a lot of us expected.

Later in the day another couple moved in and we learned that this is their very first week of full timing. Ah, I remember that well.

Not really too much else to tell you about today.
