In part one, we will talk about our drive to BAR, aka, the time we almost died.
Full load ready to go! |
Pups ready to go |
It started off well enough. We took our car, no issues at the boarder (they didn't even ask to see the dogs rabies certificates), arrived at the RV. Loaded into the RV and then the chaos started.
The RV was loud and shaky and Hailey was sure we were going to die. She sat in the back and cried and tried to get on the table. (In the chaos, no pictures were taken).
I moved to the back to sit with her until she calmed down. During this time, Phod thought he should try and get under the console in the passenger seat.
About 30 minutes into the drive, a truck and the gale force winds took us off the road, and the Man amazingly kept us on the shoulder. There was a moment we were all sure we were going to die and we should just turn around.
The Man kept going.
For some time the dogs sat like this:
Phod learned to tolerate the RV by sitting between us like this
and this
Hailey took this position from her seatbelt (because she just wants to sit on a lap if she is not harnessed in:
or this position.
For the rest of the trip, we called the RV the death trap!
Tomorrow will be about our friends in the furs!
Crikey .... Bad start .... I sure hope this story gets better. You had a great view of the trip though, aye Hailey? And you looked all comfy curled up between the seats like that!

Mr bailey, Hazel & mabel
So scary, especially the part about going off the road. I hope you two got the award for bravery. Glad you made it there and back home ok.
ReplyDeleteWe are sooooo happy that nothing truly BAD happened! We're not sure what we'd do in a STRANGE vehicle. But you look very relaxed at BAR, so it must have been okay.
ReplyDeleteWHEW.... we are glad that you made it HOME all safe and sound... we heard about the Rolling Death Trap... and trust us... we Stayed FAR Far FAR away from it. We didn't even PEE on the Tires... it scared us so much after hearing the Near Death Experience you all had...
ReplyDeleteOMD Wasn't BAR the BEST?
Can't WAIT to see more of YOUR pictures of the bestest time EVER.
OMGoodness! You kids are hilarious sitting at (and under) the table. So funny! I'm happy you all made it in one piece.
ReplyDeleteLove and licks,
Cupcake

Oh no, that sounds scary!
ReplyDeleteHi there! I sure am sorry to hear that your RV experience was less than stellar! We just love traveling in ours...but I guess it is different if it is a rented vehicle. We took some practice runs until we were pretty used to it! Since then, we have traveled all the way around the country several times. Did you like the campground by Erie? As I said, we haven't been there in several years so we were wondering if it had changed. I have to admit...it is difficult driving when it is windy!! So glad that you all arrived safely and had a good time at the BAR!!
