Almost forgot, yesterday being Friday we decided to make our weekly call to the warranty insurance company, however, it has been two weeks this time because we decided that we had a wonderful distraction in returning to Oregon for Chris & Kristina's wedding. Soooooooo, late in the day we call. Guess what !?!?!?!?! They made a claims decision two weeks ago and didn't tell us. They only told the CAT dealer. The one that we had already paid in full and CAT didn't call us either. Probably didn't care as they already had the full amount. The decision is to pay us $7,000 less than the repairs cost us and we have to prove, with original receipts and bills, that we paid the bill. A paid invoice will not work and neither will email copies or faxes. They do not get it that we are traveling and that wire transfers of money do not have any notice of who we paid or how we spent the money. This has been the most amazing thing we have gone through in fifty years of marriage. It is already too late to repay our retirement account for over half of what we paid. Hopefully we can get the paperwork together in time for the other part. CAT was already closed so can't even verify anything or find out why they didn't give us a courtesy call. Monday can't get here fast enough. Also, drafting a letter for an attorney. Seems like it might be time. Never done that before.
Oh my, before the end of the afternoon, it was pouring rain and the power went out. That we are used to, seemed like home... After a while the power was back on BUT, then right after dark the football game on TV changed to weather warnings. We determined that High Falls State Park was in Monroe County in Jackson Georgia from the park guide. Oh boy, right there on TV it looked like we were in the path of a tornado.. WHAT ! This we are not used too!!! We called the Ranger Station to see what we should do. They asked "Don't you hear the warning sounds"?? NO, we couldn't hear clear back in the camp and in our RV. Anyway, she said that we needed to head to the restroom area and out of our RV. By then, the Volunteer Hosts were coming by telling everyone to go to the restroom area too. We grabbed Mandy, a computer, our phones, a blanket and headed down the path to the restrooms. We hung around with the rest of the campers and about ten dogs. After about thirty minutes all was clear and we went back to the RV with no power. Dinner had been in the crock pot, then on the gas stove and so it was done enough to eat. Thank goodness. We went to bed about 6:30 to stay warm. Woke up about ten and watched TV for a while and then slept through the night. WOW, glad to wake up to clear, blue skies and load up to head for Tennessee today.
On the way to Harison Bay State Park we actually crossed over the Chatahoochi River that Alan Jackson signs about. This State Park is on the Chickamauga Reservoir. Arriving here was a great relief after getting through about 10-15 miles of 12-14 lanes of traffic in Atlanta, Georgia and some wind. The traffic felt like LA.. It is clear, blue skies here and surprising warm. Nice ! ! !
Atlanta, Georgia
We are right across from this marina. Must be a very busy lake in the summer...
We will finally be at Mike & Kelly's in two days ! ! YAHOO ! ! !
