Living the Unpredictable Life
Living the Unpredictable Life
I know today is supposed to be From Clicking to Creating, but this past weekend was incredibly busy and I couldn’t even kinda get that together. This last weekends art show was really good, for us and the other vendors, so that was very nice. As promoters, it was a lot of work again, but better than the weekend before.
One fabulous thing about Teton Village is the area, and all the great stuff there is to see. Before the show started we went for an evening walk, and got to see all the horses that were out to pasture for the night. These are the guys they use for trail rides, and they have the best pasture of any horses in the world.
At the base of the Tetons.
This one was peeking over the fence, and looked so cute.
So, after a good weekend we decided to come to the campground for a few days, before we have to go to Bozeman, MT. We got settled in yesterday, went to town and did all our errands, then came home to relax. After dinner I could see the sky getting dark and moody, and I could see the potential for some cool photos. Al stayed home and I drove over to the Moulton barn area. I was there about 5 minutes marveling at the 50 MPH winds, rain and lightning when Al called to tell me I needed to get home FAST, trees were falling on the RV.
I’ve never driven the dirt road so fast. Al hooked up the truck, I got the insides all slid in and secure, and off we went. Ruffled to be sure.
A huge branch had fallen on the front cap of the RV. Al said he heard a super loud crash, ran out and saw what happened. Some guys ran over to help him move the huge branch out of the way, because the rest of the tree didn’t look very stable in the high winds and we needed to move the RV.
So, we have two cracks that will need fixing, or they may want to replace the nose cap. We really won’t know until we can get it in somewhere. The hard part is A) This is our house and we will obviously have to go somewhere during repairs, and B) We have shows and travels yet to do this summer and we are just hoping nothing leaks.
Maybe we will have to go this route instead.
It’s an unpredictable life for sure.
I did manage to get a photo for the Dogwood challenge this week though. Twilight was the prompt, and I liked the look of the pine trees around us the other day.
So that catches you guys up to this point. We are waiting for the insurance to call, and decide what our next move has to be.
Hopefully, this will all be an easy thing.
I’m so sorry that happened to you, but if it happened at a campground, their insurance should cover it, and it should also cover a hotel room for you as well, if your rig has to stay overnight.
For sure the photos are awesome though!
I’m so sorry! Glad it wasn’t something that injured any of you and hope the repair will be quick. As far as traveling via covered wagon…been there, done that and don’t really recommend it as a long term solution ?
Well that is a tough break! Thank goodness for insurance! Hopefully there is a repair shop reasonably close by! Good Luck!
I’m really sorry to hear about the RV damage. Since our roof damage that happened in Wisconsin from trees a few years back, we do our best to pick sites without trees but that isn’t always possible. I’ll take the beating sun any day over tree branches. Fingers crossed things won’t leak and the repair will be quick and painless.
Oh no, I’m so sorry that happened to you! I hope it turns out to be a fairly easy fix, with little disruption to your lives. I’m impressed you still managed to get it together enough to share some beautiful photos with us. Thank you! :)
Oh I am so sorry to hear about that darn branch falling on your home. Hope all goes well with no leaking and repairs!
Gorgeous captures!
Oh no! I hope that your insurance covers it… and that there’s a convenient solution for all of you. I can imagine that having to be out of the RV will really stink… You did get some fabulous photos, though.
Wow, how scary. Since you almost always have fair weather photos, we have never thought about storms or trees falling on the RV. Hopefully the damage is not too bad.
Oh geez, I’m glad no one was hurt! Hopefully the repairs will go fast, easy, and perfectly; and that there won’t be any leaks beforehand! I am impressed that you were able to get a post together at all considering the emergency at hand! Bravo! And the horse photos are gorgeous, as always! The twilight one is too dark on my phone screen, so I’ll have to check it out later.
Hello, so sorry to hear about the tree falling on the RV. So glad no one was hurt. I hope it can be repair quickly. Love the photos of the horses and eagle.
