Pull thru is not simple

Bowling Green KOA

Bowling Green, Ky

When you think pull thru site, you usually think 'simple' parking.  Pull right in, stop, and hook up your electric, water and sewer.  Well, this campground is a tad 'tired'.  The gravel base is rather worn and thus not level.  The approach to the site has a grade to it, so you have to pull well onto the site to get up on the 'level' section. By pulling so far forward, the permanent fire ring built onto the good sized concrete  patio is now under the awning.  What???  Oh well, it's too warm for a fire anyway.  Dad said it was a good thing we didn't have a long pull today so that we had plenty of fuel left to get settled on this site.  We tried to find a side to side level spot by repositioning but finally gave up and put a block under the tire so we were just a bit off level which our leveling system can easily compensate for.  I guess pull thru sites don't always mean no backing necessary.  It's a good thing we had plenty of time and patience for all this back and forth repositioning.

Momma and Dad said they were heading to a flea market today. 

Now, I haven't experienced fleas first hand, but I've seen those TV commercials.  'Don't bother to bring home any fleas for me!"  What they did bring home was some fresh produce...watermelon, canaloupe, tomatoes, corn on the cob...from the outside stand.  

The inside stands had a unique collection of offerings, as well as unique individuals.  Just check out this clothes washer.

Is this getup a sales gimmick or is this his everyday look?

It was nice that the building had AC, as it is another day in the 90's here.  

I'm pleased to report that I went to bed with a very full stomach.  Dad was saying something about leftovers and I might have imagined it, but I thought I detected a slight sadness....so....I took care of the leftovers.  I've got you covered Dad.  I'll make the ultimate sacrific and deal with that large hunk of left over beef.  I can be quick when I need to and very stealth.  Yep, backs turned...snatch it!!  Hey, maybe that sadness in his voice was because he couldn't finish off this delicious, juicy, tasty piece of meat and he had to leave it for tomorrow.
