Our bus-to-RV conversion is working pretty well for us. We are learning the ropes, of how to manage our space inside the bus, our water tanks beneath the bus, and the flow of our day-- driving from one place to another and where to park overnight.
One big downside of the bus-to-RV conversion is, it can be hard to level the bus out on uneven ground. (Keeping the bus level is key to a good night sleep.) While other RV's or trailers have down-riggers to raise/lower the unit accordingly, our bus needs wood blocks under the tires to level.
So, when we arrived at this meadery-beside-a-swamp, we noticed the ground was not level at all. Our attempt to drive our front tries up onto a bank was a total fail, when we discovered what appears to be a trench that was dug by the owner to run the pipes and wires for the RV hookups. Our front tires fell in-- if you look closely, there is a wall of mud directly behind both tires. Meaning, even a pickup like my dads RAM1500 will not pull us out. We decided to call CAA (Canadian equivalent of AAA that works both sides of the border.)
The flatbed with a winch tried to pull me out on his own, but he needed me to put it in reverse and help him. AND THEN: we were finally out! Free at last, and... on the first sunny day we've seen in a week! Let's goooooo!! (I actually tipped the tow truck driver 25 bucks, and he seemed completely surprised by it. I guess it doesn't happen often, anyway shoutout to him.
After that, we went on a hike in the swamp AND SAW A REAL LIFE WILD ALLIGATOR THAT TRIED TO EAT EVERY LAST ONE OF US. Okay, slight exaggeration, but when the alligator moved suddenly and disappeared underwater, we were all scared and decided that was enough hiking for one day :) .
Next: I realized my knee is totally shot and began contemplating going to Mexico for an MRI and surgery. (On second thought, I'll be trying to get the MRI ASAP here in Jacksonville, and then we'll see about surgery.)
And so, after a Catan WIN and a nighttime photography FAIL, it was a pretty eventful day in the bus. Thanks for spending it with us.
