The park failed to tell Joe that you turn before the grocery market, which as I was looking up, we were now just passing by it. We found a road and turned onto it, and then looked for a place to pull in to unhook the Honda and get turned around. We got unhooked and moved the Honda out of the way so Joe could back our beast out of the driveway, we had just pulled into. I was behind the coach directing Joe with the walkie talkie, wavying oncoming cars around us, while telling Joe to wait. When the road was clear, I directed Joe to slowly back up. I was watching the back end because the hula skirt was dragging under the back end of the coach and the coach was inches from bottoming out. All of a sudden Joe says, "What's going on, I'm hitting something up front here." I walked around to the front of the coach and told him to come out and to see the problem. This next statement shows how communicate tends to break down between two people. Joe opens the RV door and sees the boulders up against the RV. He closes the door and gets back into the drivers seat. I think he is going to shut the motor off, than come back outside to further assess the situation.. Instead he puts the coach in reserve and starts to back up. I yell in the walkie talkie, " What are you doing"! He said, "I am backing up to clear the boulder". I said, I told you to come out here and look at the situation". He said, "I did, and I thought I had enough clearance to back up". I told him, I thought he was going inside to shut off the motor, and that he just made matters worse. I told him to shut off the motor because he was going to have to dig the boulder out much further than before. Now the boulder was really wedged under the front end of our rig. |
I think that Iowa sterotype suited y'all just perfect that day! That did NOT look fun. Highly stressful! :/
ReplyDeleteYes Tiffany, It was very stressful, but Praise the Lord, he was good to us as he always is!
