Here, at last!-November 16, 2013

We got up early this morning and made a bee line for Red Bay. We got here before noon and thankfully and fortunately we were blessed to be able to stay in the campground here on site. We registered and we have service #309. Now the waiting begins.

Let me clarify my statement. We are blessed to be here at Tiffin's campground though it is an old airport runway. There are no amenities. The overflow campground is a fenced area with 25 spaces. We passed it coming in and saw it was not full. We just wanted to be here because it is fun and funny to watch these huge coaches being treated like cattle going to slaughter. The service manager is Norris. He holds the cattle prod. He assigns us a time to be in each bay. I am betting if you miss your allotted time you go to the end of the line. We don't intend to try to find out. We will get the recall work done first and then see about some changes we want to make, if possible and if practical.

Now for a couple of pictures.

This is what we found in the space next to ours as we were pulling in. We are unsure if the people croaked while waiting OR if they gave up and left OR if Clint Eastwood brought an extra chair!
It was at least something funny to relieve the tension.
 
Main Street at the Tiffin service center. There's one more street just like this one. It is not a place one would want to come home late at night while intoxicated. They all start to look the same after sundown. I walked to the office and nearly panicked when I headed back to our coach. And I was not intoxicated. Again, we are trying to do all of this with laughter. Otherwise we are going to get very frustrated very quickly.
 
 
As soon as we know our schedule we might be able to play tourist in this area. But if we are on call, we will be stuck here for a very long and boring time. Right now, we are just happy to be here safely. We will wait our turn and hope for the best.
