We don’t seem to be able to get out of the campground lately. Today the only thing we did other than rustle up some meals and listen to the wind in the trees was to identify a miscreant in our campground who was driving way too fast. During our lounging outside in the gorgeous weather and gentle breeze, we noted the gobshite spinning his back wheels and hurling the gravel road into the air while leaving the campground with his boat.

The posted speed in the campground is 5 mph. The campground staff estimated his speed at 50 which he maintained until he drove over one of the ubiquitous speed bumps, causing either his truck or his boat to make a nasty clunk. Everybody watching him was initially horrified but soon laughing after hearing the expensive noise made when he and his boat went airborne. Unfortunately, it didn’t slow him down and he blasted out of the normally serene setting with much tire squealing and dust. Soon afterwards, campground staff came around to see if anybody could identify where the jerk was camped and, unfortunately for him, I could.

Thousand Trails usually doesn’t do much in the way of rule enforcement but this peckerwood drew quite a bit of scrutiny and all were happy to hear that he will be fined and evicted. Tragic, eh?
