Cindy is more optimistic than I am. This helps. When you are safe and can afford what recovery involves, think of challenges as adventures.
We started a trip yesterday. We have campground reservations in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan - Newberry. A 7 or so hour trip. On the way, we had to make a stop at the place we have our camper maintained because we could not get the anode screwed into our water heater. Turns out they could not either so there will be no hot water unless we heat it on the stove. Not serious, but acceptable.
We decided to stop along the way and found a little place because we planned to stay in a motel one night anyway, and we found an interesting place near Trout Creek, MI. We headed into town from our motel to find some food, and as we pulled into a pizza place, a woman sitting outside a bar across the street yelled at us to check our rear tire because it looked like a bearing was going out. This turned out to be the case and we were now stranded 40+ miles from anywhere. We limped back to the motel to start seeing what we would have to do and the owner says he would fix it for us. He seemed very confident and capable, so how could he be so lucky? We could stay one more day (no more vacancies after that).
Today, he decided that the fix would be more challenging than he had anticipated. He said if it was his camper he would fix it, but he would also help us get the section of the axle that needed to be repaired to a shop that would guarantee the work. His father would drive the piece there in his pickup. So, that is the situation to this point. I am riding along. Pretty cool adventure. More to come.
