If you remember, I’ve been living in a cabin a couple miles from Ice Park. Sometime in the next week I’ll be moving back to that campground while someone else gets to live in the cabin for a few months. I’ve been slowly, really slowly, moving my stuff back into the RV. If I could get a day off from getting the campground ready for the season, I’d be done by now. Anyway, soon.
Today I struck a blow for those that hate junk mail. One of the worst offenders on earth is Good Sam club…started by that Walton guy (Walmart) years ago. For every one piece of junk mail I get, I get 3 from them. Even on stuff I CAN’T BUY from them and they know it! Idiots! They have several programs going so I get insurance pitches for the car, another for the RV, Emergency Road service pitch, their magazine, etc., etc. They never stop. I’ve even sent them a bogus address change…they checked and found it didn’t exist so didn’t stop sending junk mail. Talking to them on the phone does no good, nothing does.
So, today, I gathered all their junk mail, opened it, crossed out anything that required my signature with a big NO! written over the top, stuffed all their junk mail material back into the free to me envelopes until they were all bulging, and mailed it all back to them. Let’s see how they like getting junk mail. Their costs will be $2 or so per envelope, I hope. The only way they will stop is if it’s costing them money. Yes, I am aware of that junk mail stopping service but that takes a year…
Meanwhile, back at the campground, we’ve been getting ready to officially open today (May 15th), so we’ve gotten the water turned back on, the trash dumped, the junk picked up, yard work done, etc. We’ve made a bit of money so far and have several month to month guests. One gal came on April 14th in her truck camper. There was still a foot of snow on the ground.
There’s still a lot to be done, we want to add several 30A outlets for RV’s this year and that will take a while, then we could add water to one of the rows. And we don’t even have the space signs up yet.
