Moving Day Oops!!

Rex got up early to get things ready for our 30 mile move to Carson City. I got up about 2 hours later--he was actually reading his favorite blogs and drinking coffee for over an hour. Anyway after we got everything travel ready and the truck hooked up to the trailer, we split up. I had last minute errands to run in Lake Tahoe---post office for change of address and the cable company to return the modem for example. Anyway when I finally got to the camp site, Rex had a PROBLEM.

See that door in the back of the camper?? We call that compartment the basement and store the dutch ovens, volcano, and our laundry among other things there.

See the keys----oops one is broken----guess where the broken part is?? Yup it is in the lock of the door to the basement. Not good!! So how are we going to solve this problem???

This is the floor of our bedroom closet and that little trap door is our laundry "chute". We open it and throw our dirty clothes in the basket. The laundry basket is in the "basement". Don't forget our problem....

This is me looking up that trap door after I wiggled through it to unscrew the lock in the basement.....I really considered getting naked and oiling myself with olive oil but I actually was able to crawl through the trap door without resorting to that drastic action. THANK GOD....I'd hate to get kicked out of the RV park for indecent exposure!!

Here I am after unscrewing the lock so Rex could open the door. I look kind of squished actually, the basement is kinda small.

Moving day is always full of surprises but this is one for the books!!
