Shady Grove WiFi, Seibert, CO: Oct 27
This is our favorite commercial RV park to stay in after (or before) we park in the Boulder area. They have changed their name, adding "WiFi" to emphasize the fact that they have free wi-fi. Our stay here was uneventful -- we parked without unhooking so we could get an early start in preparation for next day's great refrigerator swap-out.
The repair place was in Stratton, 15 miles east of Seibert. When we arrived they had us park our rig along the street out front of the shop & went right to work. During down times the owner would come over to chat, and with the election a week away, politics was a natural topic. He turned out to be a true libertarian -- hated McCain & Obama both, thought they were 2 sides of the same coin; believed in every conspiracy theory imaginable -- a real character, but he was interesting to talk to & did good work. He had a big confederate flag in his window. Then began the food triage. We ended up throwing out at least half of the food from the freezer, due to uncertainty. Better safe than sorry, we decided. Food is cheaper than doctor visits!
