Bubbles bursted

We were sooo excited to see that the rules at Horn Rapids RV Resort in Richland, WA  included immediate eviction with no refund if you didn't clean up after your pup or let it run off lead...that was all fine until the weekend and the park started filling back up.  It really does just take ONE idiot, huh?  Not only were his three dogs off lead, he had them in the middle court grass area and was throwing a lighted Frisbee for them.  This area is ringed by sites with the expressed rules of no dogs in this area!!  Just as I was dialing the number for the office, they went back inside.  I sure hope it was because someone went and had a lit'l chat with them!  Pirate was out on a mission this weekend (the Idaho Falls-Seattle trip) so I just stayed inside the Gypsy.

He should be home any time now!  This was our last big chore, so now it's OUR time!  We have appointments this week, and the papers to sign for the condo, and then it's SOUTH!!  Not sure when we sign papers on the condo, but we let them start moving in. Why not?!  We are so very happy for Juan and Ruby and the kids!

I have a question about etiquette, since we're on the subject:  is it impolite to 'cut through' an empty site?  During the week there are several empties, and I haven't cut through unless there are at least 2 empty sites, so I don't disturb any pups that may be inside a rig.  I know my Scooter is very protective and I wouldn't want that.  But should I just go around?  I really don't want to offend.  I saw the empty sites kind of like a vacant lot.  Is that the wrong way to look at it?  Really looking forward to hearing people's comments...and will NOT take offense...I just want to learn BEFORE I offend anyone.

There's about to be an explosion of puppy happiness...Pirate should be pulling in any minute!!  Thanks for the comments, and Michael...we'll be riding with you before you know it!

  1. As a camper, I try not to cut through any sites. Unless there is a path.

  2. We never did until lately...seems as if it is no longer a big deal. We are just amazed at just how many cut right through our occupied site and then look directly into our windows. Going to get a surprise one of these days, we are getting brave enough to MOON them...at least we say we are going to do this...

  3. I generally walk on the roads in a campground, but must admit that I have cut through empty sites in an overnight stop campground like a fairgrounds. I never cut through an occupied site, and resent those that cut through mine. If Emma is tied outside, she is sure to jump on them, and I figure they deserve it for being rude.

  4. (Grin), I don't see anything with cutting through an empty site. How could it bother someone who isn't there yet?

  6. Thanks for all the comments...the park is full again for the weekend, but will empty out tomorrow, I'm sure. I wouldn't want someone walking through our site, either...they'll get an ear full of Miss Scooter! I admit that I did cut through the two empties to get to the dumpster on more than one occasion. I feel kinda guilty, even though no one was in the adjoining rigs. I could justify it was because it's hard for me to carry the garbage, but I was just being lazy. I took the bag out before it got too heavy.

  7. There is absolutely nothing wrong with going through an empty site. The problems arise with all the idiots who walk through occupied sites. I cannot believe how rude some people can be and I have requested they not walk through our site since it was my money that paid for that space. You are doing nothing wrong.
