I've been on the road so I'm a bit behind in my blog reading -- but the good part of reading this late is that I know now that you're okay!I worshipped my plastic throne once, too, and it was pretty much like worshipping a porcelain one, except I knew that what I had left there was still hanging around in the tank.

If you are boondocking totally alone then it is another matter but while with a group there isn't going to be a very long time before someone checks on you. But, it isn't like having someone sleeping beside you.Maybe things should be reversed- people retire & travel while young, then work until death.

As you may remember I started that discussion string on the RV-Dreams Solo forum concerning what to do in case of emergencies. I'm still not sure I am satisfied with any of the responses particularly if Scottserenityadventure.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631485.post-76002955596905440482008-03-05T06:23:00.000-07:002008-03-05T06:23:00.000-07:00Had a simular thing happen years ago when living s...Had a simular thing happen years ago when living solo in a house. Got sick, went to bed, woke up 2 days later. Haven't a clue as to what happened in those 2 days.The only thing I can think of is to contact a friend or park office if you are feeling ill, and ask them to send someone to check on you if you do not contact them back in a pre-determined time. Hope your feeling better,Jim01Myrddinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03934079715077651354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631485.post-28459002349308834712008-03-04T20:47:00.000-07:002008-03-04T20:47:00.000-07:00Oh, my gosh, Donna!
