I had to pick up the pop up from a rental yesterday and decided to stay the night at the fort since I had an inspection in Orange City today and the site ended up becoming an expense write off.
I was in site 2058 and I don't think it's any secret I hate 2000 loop. There were about 10 campers total in the loop including a small Class A so there's something for the posters on the empty sites and large campers in a partial loop to put in their pipe and smoke lol.
I decided to hit the hay about 11 as it was freezing out and not much to do. I had a space heater that warmed the camper fine when it was in the 30's but the 24 degrees last night laughed at this little jewel. I could see my breath inside it was so cold. I didn't sleep well but finally fell asleep to be awakened at 0245. Yes that's an 0 in front of the 2. I thought it was some kids messing around until I looked out to see a car with the lights on providing light for a guy setting up a tent. The noise I heard was him beating tent stakes in the ground. I laid back down and in a few minutes heard the blow up mattress pump going to town for a while. I'm laying there like are you serious? There's 10 sites occupied and they give this guy a site next to me checking in at 0200. My guess is he may have been to a park and checked in earlier. Anyway a few minutes later I hear a kid crying and car doors slamming. To top it off my fine neighbor uses his keyless entry remote to lock the door and give me a little whistle song to rock me back to sleep. I never did go back to sleep again. I decided to get up at 0630 and head out.
My Duramax is pretty quiet when she is warmed up but I had no extension cord to plug her in so when I cranked her up she rattled just as good as a Powerstroke or Cummins. I decided it needed about the 30 minutes it took me to break down for her to warm up and give my neighbor a little rumble to enjoy the sunrise with.
Hopefully there was a good excuse for the late set up. The tags on the van were from FL so it wasn't like they drove in from Minn-E-Sota or something and didn't judge the arrival time correctly. The other thing was I paid $100.13 for the site. The most I've ever paid or ever will again. When I checked in the guy laughed when I asked if I could get AP or AAA.
I'm really hoping my neighbor wasn't a Disboarder as I guess we won't be fiends lol. Who ever you are, you need some etiquette.

My mother has always told me that if I get a tattoo, she will get it surgically removed against my will. I believe her. You have met her. You know she'll do it too!
