We have spent the last 3 days in this park model home at Thousand Trails in Peace River. The one we were supposed to go into was unavailable for our stay because the previous occupants had medical problems and had to extend their stay. So instead of going in unit P-16, we are in unit A-22. Actually, we saw this park model unit brought in on a low bed semi trailer back in January. The unit is used but functional, however the outside skirting and permanent entry staircase are not yet in place. It is definitely a challenge getting used to this after being in our Bounder for the last 4 1/2 months. We miss our home! Oh well, it is not the end of the world.

Park Model Home
Our Bounder was to be in the bodyshop at Lazydays, April 1-3. They called yesterday afternoon saying it had just gone in the bodyshop and it wouldn't be ready until Monday afternoon. Apparently Lazydays decided to do the a/c repair first instead of the bodyshop work. So looks like we are staying in the park model for another 3 days. I will deal with Lazydays on Monday regarding the extra cost of accommodations their delay has caused us.
On the positive side of things, our son sent us an envelope from home via Express Post on March 20th at a cost of $21.50. Well it just arrived in Wauchula today! Fifteen days to get here!!!! Think I shall have a chat with Canada Post when we get home as well.
We continue to play pickleball everyday, although there are fewer people playing now. We were also back in the river fossil hunting again yesterday afternoon. The water is cool and refreshing and welcome relief to the afternoon heat we have been experiencing for the past week or more. No major finds yesterday except for the top of a tibia bone. Hard to say what type of animal it is from though.
So this weekend will be low profile, awaiting the return of our motorhome on Monday afternoon. We'll then head up the road to Orlando where we'll be until April 25th.
