The tank was full, using the toilet was strictly forbidden and the worst part was that there were no dump spots near the Piper's current location. Google was telling them one thing, but once the family would arrive at the supposed location, the so called dump spot was non existent. After over an hour of driving around looking for and Rv dump they gave up and decided to head to Corevallis for Daniels college tour. Daniel wanted to go to OSU so naturally it seemed like a must to take a tour around his first pick school. After arriving at the campus the family walked around the school attempting to find out where the tour began, only to be dismissed with the fact that their tour was not to start until 2 not 1.
It was good news considering they would have been late for the ‘first’ tour, walking around a campus being pointed in different directions over and over again was not the most amusing and interesting thing. Anyway, 2:00 rolled around and Daniel, Kim, and Ben climbed out of the Rv to begin the tour, leaving Tara behind because she didn't find a fascination with what school her brother might be attending. Seconds turned to minutes, minutes turned to hours and then, BANG BANG BANG a knock on the door "Tara!" Her dad yelled, shocked at the abrupt noise, she went over to the door and opened the latch. The tour was not yet done but Ben was done with the walking and said his feet hurt. Which just left Kim and Daniel still out touring around the large college campus.
Daniel had enjoyed his tour and was satisfied with the campus of his dream school. The family headed back to the Dark side Cinema and pulled their merch out of the bottom compartment of the Rv, selling t shirts and advertising for the upcoming showings, they were excited to see more and more people enter their movie playing room. Then after the movie started they headed to the fairgrounds which supposedly had a dump station. Success! they found a dump station after so many failed attempts they finally pulled out the hose and attached it to the nozzle of the pipe. Their tanks quickly diminished of liquid and their water tank was once again replenished.
Another day had came and went, the Pipers were beginning to lose their minds at the fact of having to spend their whole summer in the one room Rv. They all had some major doubts about the success and fun of the trip. In Daniel's words. “I'd rather just chill at home and play on my computer and just be able to plug in my phone whenever.” The night would hopefully ease the families minds about their doubts.
Hang in there!! buy a small popup tent so you could maybe spread out a little. gotta start checking out the local good places. Salem had a breakfast place called Word of Mouth that was exactly that - spread by WOM and in a little house and REAALLLY good food. So much to see ....a shame to spend your whole time on earth not seeing it except through a telephone lens or a computer screen. Maybe do some more fun things like find a place unique to the town you are in. Every town, (. except maybe Barstow or Needles ..lol.) has something. Maybe a visit to a farmer's market - see how different it is from y…
