Day 4
Today we all slept in. We also used this day to do much needed laundry and take showers. The laundry room at the campsite charged $1.75 per load and $1.50 to dry. Ikes! There was also NO soap, so the lady who owned the place offered us to use some of hers... she then charged us $4.00 to use enough soap for 4 loads. Outragous!
Just as our laundry was finishing drying the rain clouds were coming. My son and I carried the basket to the van and then, BOOM, total heavy rain hit. We both got drenched from the few steps it took to get to the trailer from the van.
My mom decided to take a nap. The kids and I sat at the table and read a bible story then we filled in Mad Libs to pass the time while it rained cats and dogs outside.
We survived the flash flood that the storm produced. The stream above us on the hill overflowed, but ended up flooding down the hill from us, so thankfully it didn't effect us to much. Down the way you could see the water coming down the hill into one of the other campers. The storm flooded the campsite's office with a foot and a half of mud as well as flooding their laundry room and two shower rooms. (The price for over charging, eh?)
The water totally filled up the street and our campsite as well. When we'd look outside it looked as if we lived on a river. Towards the end of the storm I went out to see how the underneath of the trailer was. We feared washout, but praise be to the Lord that the two rugs we had out there had caused the water to go around. I'm afraid that if we didn't have the rugs our campsite would have been totally washed out like the three next to us. (Pictured Below)
Dinner that night was old fashioned egg noodles, fried and crumbled bacon, alfredo sauce, mushrooms and shrimp all mixed together. It was quite tasty! Everything tastes better in the mountains!
Glory to God for His providence!
