Ready to leave Goodfellow AFB for Bandera, TX

4/10/2022

 
We've been at Goodfellow for 9 days!  It's been pretty low key.  We're just passing time 'til 19th of this month to attend another rally in Bandera, Texas.  We did have a little excitement one night.  
A very fast developing storm had us departing our campsite in minutes a few nights ago.  So many things done wrong...  60 mph winds, 1+ inch hailstones, and a tornado in the mix had us running to beat the storm.  We took only what was necessary and left everything else behind.  We saw that that there was a clear path out of the storm's way so we decided to go.  The storm was 2 counties away and we felt we could escape safely.  Wendy was busy on her tablet and phone plotting out our path and watching the storm.  We have talked about what we would do in a situation like this but never considered an immediate departure at night.  I think we did the best we could under the circumstances but realize there is room for improvement.  Well, we safely evaded the storm.  No hail or heavy rain was encountered.  So, all went pretty well.  Until we came back to the campground.....  It's my first time driving at night with the camper and setting up.  I pulled a real dumb-dumb.  I figured to use the dump site on the way back into camp to save a trip later.  I thought all was going well until I saw a recoil of some sort in the side view mirror as I pulled away.  I just knew I returned the septic hose to it's place but I wasn't 101% sure so I stopped and looked around.  The septic hose was indeed all locked up safely in its compartment.  But I had driven off with the water hose still attached to the black tank rinse spigot.  The water hose stretched until it could stretch no more.  I bent the water main over to a 45 degree angle and popped the campground hose end off.  I had the water shut off and the water stand pipe, although bent, did not leak.  I'll own up to the campground admin folks in the AM.
