Another nice thing about Ponderosa Falls RV Park is that they accept camper mail (many parks don't). We really need to check with every place to find out whether or not we can tell Daughter Mary Mae to send mail to the campground or whether we need to have mail sent to General Delivery at a nearby small town to the campground.
Yesterday, UPS delivered the replacement glass plate for our GE Advantium Oven. AppliancePartsPros.com had advertised on their website that they guaranteed 2-4 day delivery of products ordered from them. I had missed putting the glass plate back in the oven (the Advantium has two plates -- a metal one for baking and a glass one for micro-waving) during a move a few weeks ago. I think we found pieces of shattered glass for at least a week! We had waited until we were going to be in one place for more than a couple of days to order a replacement.
Today we got a box of snail mail from Mary Mae. I don't know how she manages to pack so much into every box she forwards to us.
In this box were the renewal notices for both AAA and Passport America. I always debate about the Triple A membership because we mainly use it to obtain maps. However, we try to always stop at a Welcome Center when we enter a new state. I like the maps produced by the state tourism departments better than AAAs because they usually have so much information about places to see and things to do in that state. However, during a last year of journeying cross-country, we have used the multi-state AAA maps for planning. Guess I'll go ahead and renew it...
Passport America on the other hand has more than proved its worth to us. We use the fifty percent discount feature a great deal. My only gripe with Passport America is how many of the campgrounds in their network don't honor the discount during their busy season. On the other hand, I can't blame those campgrounds -- if they are full or near full, why should they give up half of their revenue?
