It took us two days to arrive in the Pocono Mountains, where we are going to serve as workampers at Timothy Lake South as maintenance(me), and welcome center(Christi). The weather was still rainy and cold as we set up our site. Walking around and hooking up we noticed that a semi truck had clipped the side of our travel trailer and pierced the outer fiber glass layer. Frustrated, finishing the outside set up we moved inside to clear things out so we would have more room to move around. A few minutes later Christ found water dripping in through the ceiling - "on sh*t". We were one of only two workampers in the entire park and the gates were locked for the night, and we didn’t have a key. We just had to wait out the night and repair the roof and side wall in the morning.
With a temporary fix to the trailer, Christi and I moved past the damage. After all, what had happened wasn't going to damper our spirits. There is nothing that we could do to change what had happened (I'm still working on my time machine), now we just focus on continuing our adventure. I'm sure that more situations like this one will arrive (hopefully not soon) and we will just have to put up with them. As long as no harm comes to us, there is no reason to get scared and halt our exploration.
Would you really want to leave this behind?
