Hooked Up In The Park But Not On Our Site.


Our Location today is at Wildwood Golf and RV Park, McGregor, Ontario.

After wearing our Ear Plugs to bed last night we had no problems staying asleep even with the constant roar of Traffic that used the Walmart parking lot as a shortcut from One major street to another. We must have been worn out by all the Mental Stress from everything that happened this past winter up to arriving to find only a mere handful of our Mail when there should have been much more.

We were both up around 8:00 this morning but the worry of what would we do if our mail had been lost continued to eat away at us as we had our breakfast. Another call to Guardian Storage only to get the same new employee that had no idea of where our Mail could be. I gave her a few for instances of where it could be and she said she’d call us back.

The next call went out to Wildwood Golf and RV Park in McGregor where we have a seasonal sight. Their season doesn’t start until the beginning of May. I explained our situation to Val and she simply said to come on in and if the Water wasn’t turned on in our area we could use a Transient Site for the time being.
Our spot near the Walmart Building to block the Wind.
With that being the first encouraging news that we have heard in a while we started packing the Trailer to move on. Just before heading out the door I again called Guardian Storage since it was well over the Hour since I had called. Her response was “Well I looked but couldn’t find anything but Carol will be back on Monday morning and she should be able to help us then”. It was shortly after 11:00 when we left the East End Walmart store.
We headed south on Lauzon Parkway until we reached County Road 42. We then headed up to Walker Road until we reached the Canadian Tire Store where they have a nice large parking lot. Once parked along a curb we walked in the Moderate Southwesterly Winds over to the A&W for lunch. It was easier to get an early lunch then trying to set up hungry.
Our Transient Site.
Back in the Truck it felt comfortable to be driving familiar roads. After parking and briefly stopping at the Office Val assigned us a Transient Site not far from our Seasonal Spot because they’d had quite a bit of Rain and the ground was soft.
Hooking up the Electrical Cable.
Since the Transient Sites are all pull through it took little time to be parked ending our 16.9 Mile drive for the day. We did walk over to check out our Seasonal Site to find it mostly the way we left it other then a few extra twigs from off the Trees that were covering our Patio. As for the Grass on both sides of the narrow roadway just walking on it cause water to surface. I could imagine the deep ruts the Truck and Trailer would have left.

Back at the Trailer we finished getting set up and disconnecting the Truck. Inside we set up the Computers as well as the CPAP Machines and Blue Flame Heater. It will be going down to 34 F (1 C) tonight but feeling closer to 23 F (-5 C).

Since we weren’t sure our MiFi would work since it didn’t last year we decided to watch a movie called “Invictus” starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. We enjoy movies that are based on True Life and this one recounts the events that followed the election of Nelson Mandela as President of Africa where he used the Country’s Rugby Team as a way of uniting the nation.

We didn’t feel like doing anything because of the cold Winds so after a brief stretch we chose to watch a Comedy called “The Heat” starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. It kept us laughing.

Surprisingly when we turned on our Verizon MiFi we had no problems getting connected. Tomorrow we’ve got some chores and visiting that are overdue. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.
Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.

  1. At least you are back in your park even if not in your space. I'm sure Monday your mail will get sorted out when the regular person is back. Enjoy your visiting day.

  4. After the winter you guys had, you deserve a break where you can just relax and breathe. But I think your site definitely needs to dry out first.

  7. Nice to be at your home park. Hope the site dries out quickly. The frost is coming out of the ground around here and I've seen some of the ruts the RV's are making when attempting to park. Best to wait it out.

  8. Even though not on your site...at least you are in familiar surroundings.

    Hopefully Monday your mail issues will be resolved once the experienced employee returns to work.
