Bird Buggy is not perfect-bummer!
We pulled into the office of the KOA Campground in Mims, Florida to check in and be given our slip, oops I mean, site number. The check-in process completed, we climbed into the Bird Buggy and Flip tried to start her. Nothing. He tried my fob (the name for the fancy new keys with batteries). Nothing. Up with the hood, we found a neighbor with a truck and tried to jump the Bird Buggy. Nothing. Now a couple of panic calls, one to Pleasure Way (the manufacturer of our Bird Buggy) and the other to Cousin Dan. Both suggested changing the batteries in the fob-still nothing. Next we were towed to our site, Soo went to get a rental car so we could attend the Space Coast and Birding Festival next door in Titusville. Flip called Good Sam's emergency towing service and arranged for a tow from Mims to Apopka, FL., which was the closest dealer he could find who had a computer that could determine the cause of our problem and allow us to stay in our R/V during repairs. Flip arranged for this tow to occur just after the end of the Space Coast Festival.
We settled in and thought we could enjoy the Festival and not worry; not entirely the case however. Visitors before us had fed the reddish Gray Squirrels and as a result the squirrels were forever trying to get into the R/V! En guard! And we thought we had trouble with squirrels at our feeders at home!
The next few days were fantastic attending the Festival and catching up with old birding buddies, learning new ID tricks and seeing the new birding gear.
