Topsy-Turvy Pop-Up in a Rain Storm in Hershey Park, PA

    It was our first time out in our new pop-up camper. We traveled to Hershey Park, PA and were excited to experience our first real camping adventure. On our way over,from Ohio, it came up a very bad thunderstorm when we were in the mountains. We arrived at the campsite,my husband popped up the camper, pulled out the beds and attached the sides while the storm continued to rage causing the water to rise because the storm drains could not handle all the water that was coming down. My husband came in, soaked from head to toe, and told our 2 sons, ages 8 and 9, to get ready for bed. They went to one end of the camper and it started to tilt when he remembered that he’d forgotten to put any of the jacks down! He headed back out into the storm to fix the problem and as he did, he told us to go to one end of it. Unfortunately, the boys and I went to the wrong end and up it started to go!!! He told us to go to the middle and to stay there until he returned. By this time we were laughing so hard,but he surely did not see the humor in it! An upside down camper was definately not what he had in mind!! Thank God we survived and we now camp in a 30 ft. pull behind camper and enjoy every bit of our time we spend camping. We learned a good lesson during that first excursion!!

      I would like to show thanks to this writer just for rescuing me from this particular scenario. As a result of looking out throughout the the web and meeting advice that were not powerful, I was thinking my life was over. Existing devoid of the strategies to the problems you have solved by way of your write-up is a critical case, and the kind which might have adversely damaged my entire career if I hadn’t discovered your site. Your personal knowledge and kindness in touching the whole thing was important. I’m not sure what I would have done if I had not come upon such a point like this. I am able to at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time very much for your skilled and sensible help. I won’t think twice to refer your blog to anybody who wants and needs guidelines about this issue.

      Superb blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused .. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

      Certainly I like your web site, however you have to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very bothersome to tell you. However I will certainly come again again!
