No, we do not have the AAA RV coverage, that was the discussion home. We were only 25 miles from home, and it was 100+ degrees where we stopped, it was quicker to get the truck home and get our van and come back than to wait for the tow truck for the trailer because the tow coverage is by a different company....Why did you not go?  You sure missed a great rope course and great pot luck!

Oh, I was melting in that heat...sorry I had to bail early evening yesterday.  I had a migraine, tummyache, and my legs were weak.  Soooo glad to be home in my a/c, only for the power to go out a bit after 3 pm today!!  It was out for almost 4 hours!!!  My migraine and tummyache came back...as our outside temp was 102 at the time.  Power did come back on a bit after 7 pm...and has been holding strong since (fingers are crossed).  

Thanks, Dee, for organizing this!  It is a great campground!  I would def go again!

Quote from: DK&3kidsHey Dee - GREAT news about Kevin!!  I'm also really glad he doesn't have to miss his first day of school!  We are all relieved to hear that.  The green spritzer bottle is mine - I hope I never need it again!  

To all those that survived 103 At Canyon RV, great fun to be with you all and share this common bond!!!!  I still think it'll be a great place in the cooler future - the grass area was perfect!  ;) Kristi


I will let you look at it in a couple of weeks when I see you then you can decide if it is yours or Maria's.

I spoke too soon about Kevin, about 2:30 he started going downhill again and started vomiting the  fever was not as high this time at 102.4 . he goes from fine to sick as a dog so fast, so he is staying home.

The concern about leaving your trailer unhitched for any time is someone will take the opportunity to steal it, as well.  Another thing to think about, how often do you camp within 7 miles of home?  If you're camping with us in Yorba Linda and you break down between there and home, that's an expensive towing bill.  It's worth it to pay for the 100 miles service and know you're going to be able to get home.  (Said by the person who broke down in
San Clemente once and had to pay almost $200 for the tow bill that wasn't fully covered by my basic AAA service).

We had fun, even with the heat.  It was nice to come home to cooler weather.  We can't say that very often.  Looking forward to Dogwood and cooler temps(I hope).  
 
 Pics are uploaded. Some are good, some suck, some are blue (don't know why), but it's what we got! Enjoy

Have no fear, we have AAA Plus, I was a single mom for 10 years, and I made many a trip by myself to Orange to see Mom and Dad, I was sure to be covered!  Also, we lock the trailer hitch, and we knew we were a relatively short distance from home...and would be right back...another good trick to keep your trailer safe, lower one leg to the ground, even if they get the lock off, rolling the trailer away would be rough.

We so wanted to visit you guys but with the heat, the kids wanted to swim in grandma's pool with daddy while mommy relaxed on the couch with her A/C on.

I thought alot about you guys having fun and dealing with the heat.   I wish the weather was better for you but SCCampers know how to have fun no matter the circumstances.
 
Welcome Home Guys!!!

I got home today and there was a message from some guy saying he found Brandon's wallet!!  Bran called him and is going to pick it up tomorrow.  The guy said he ran across it at a Wells Fargo.  Perhaps someone tried to use his cards?  Don't know what is still in the wallet, we'll find out tomorrow.  Bran just hopes all his receipts from work are all still there.

WOW, that's great news guys, hopefully, the receipt for the temporary a/c is still there, so you can get your money back!
it's good to know there are honest people who will return important items!

I hate to say we told you so Brandon. Glad to hear it though.

Since we debuted the "New Toy" we got, last weekend at Canyon RV, I can now add it to my sig and post the pics and story behind it for all to see. We bought it about 1 1/2 months ago, I re-did alot of things on it so we kept it a secret from everyone until it was finished. Given the fact that our last Halloween trip to Vali Lake was riddled with toy haulers and golf carts we thought this whole thing would be kind of funny. Can't wait for Halloween this year!
 
 
Here is a before pic from when we bought it, and an after pic when I finished making the changes. We had fun cruising it around the CG.  We will definetly be bringing it to Dogwood since our camp is a ways away.
