Rule #5.

Wayne and I just finished our 9-month park hosting contract at a public park on the Texas Gulf Coast. During that time, I've gathered enough material to get a good start on a book, and even though we're not longer hosting, we are still in the park through the end of the month. The "you can't fix stupid" things continue, of course, so I'm still gathering photos and stories for my work.

Rule #5. No parking on the grass. Parking is allowed in paved and marked areas only:

 

And, last night around 11:00 PM, two rigs arrived, drove the wrong way through the park, and then pulled truck-first into back-in spots along the fence. Their electrical and sewer connections were on the "wrong" side, as were their entry doors. Didn't bother the drivers, though. They set up lights on tripods and worked noisily for about half an hour until they got their hoses and cables dragged under their rigs so that they could hook up on the other side. This morning they were told by the park supervisor to rig down, get out of the sites, and then re-enter them the right way (by backing into them). They said they didn't know you had to back into those sites. That should have been obvious by the location of the power pedestals and sewer connections, not to mention that pulling in like they did, without unhooking, left a good foot of their RVs sticking out into the one-way drive through the park. (If I'd still been working, I'd have stopped them last night, but the new park host seems to be a bit timid about enforcing the rules. He'll learn.)
