To day was a chore day...First I went to Rapid City to see about getting my
window fixed and the short answer was Yes Mr. Kelly you where correct in your
assessment that the power window motor needs to be replaced, no we did not
order the part as you suggested...but we can have it here in two work days...and
probably have you on the road Tuesday or Wednesday....I asked if they could
exchange the one on the passengers side,since I won’t be using it...nope as we
need to get the one that controls all the windows...why...never mind ,deal with
it later....a wasted two hours plus another 3 hour drive....
Decided to go to Sturgis so I could say...been there...done that..just as I
turned off the Interstate and got to Sturgis it began pouring rain...needless to
say I didn’t get out of the car...took some photo’s and headed back to the
Campsite...did make one stop to get some shots of prairie dogs..got home and
cleaned the inside of the camper...it was beginning to look like Sanford and
Son’s front yard....also checked and wrote a couple emails and relaxed..

I thought this evening I would just relax, fix myself a salad, plan for
tomorrows new adventure and turn in early......Oh, you naive little camper
boy....first I glance up and my voltage meter is reading way on the low
side...so I go outside and disconnect the plug...come back in and notice my
phone is blacked out...try to start it and nothing happens....it can’t be dead
it’s only a year plus a couple weeks old.....I go and inform Larry, the owner
of the campground about the electric problem and he jumps right on it....I check
and it looks like the 110 is working better so I connect my step down plug and
the world is right...now I get back to my phone dilemma...I notice my 12 volt
charger seems to have a bad wire...I get another cord, hook it up and damn if it
doesn’t turn on...the weird thing is its showing 90 percent charged....at least
it has come back to life...Awwww life is good again.....I speak to soon...Mother
Nature has decided to to provide the Badlands a show.....a multi dimensional
show...one that includes..wind, fire(as in lighting) and rain...I will say it is
the strongest wind I have experienced in the camper, gale force .....it was
quite a performance.....oh BTW, the electricity is now out....and lightening
seems to be continuous.....its now 10 Pm....still some lightening and wind, but
not as intense...I think I’ll call it a day...and I wish Mother Nature would do
the same...Happy
Trails
