After the "interesting" smoke we smelled late last night, no one was moving very early this morning. Then there was a bit of a mad scramble next door. Since the space between the neighbor's travel trailer and our left flank was solidly packed with "stuff," there was a mad scramble to pick up clothes, towels, coolers, blankets. the mattress, shoes, jackets, swim suites, chip bags etc. It all got tossed through the door into the trailer or into the back of the SUV. Soiled diapers just got tossed to the side.
They had hooked up the SUV to the trailer way before they were ready to leave and pretty much blocked the road. However, this road is the main road to the exit, so every time one of the many rigs who were leaving attempted to pass by, they would have to back their car and trailer up off of the road. I finally shut the living room window, so I didn't have to hear the cussing. (I'm not sure why they just didn't back it up and leave it.) Finally just before noon (checkout time is eleven), they finally pulled out.The guys in the pickup stayed on a while for a last cigarette, then they left as well.
The site was pretty well trashed with cigarette butts and bits of paper and stuff scattered all over and out into the road on both sides. A while later a couple of fellows from the park came by in a golf cart with a rake and pick-up tools and started cleaning up. One of the guys made a comment about how many cigarette butts there were and I said there must have been seven or eight smokers in the bunch. The guy looked at me and said, "Tell us about it, we've followed their trail all over the park. You should have seen what the pool deck looked like!"
I think this bunch of "campers" stands out because they are so unusual. Most RVers are extremely nice folks who go out of their way to be considerate of their neighbors and the park. Many will pull out of a site and go back and check to make sure there is nothing left behind. The idea is to leave a site nicer that when you got there,
