MARCH 23, 2012 - SATURDAY

After a delicious breakfast send-off Jan made, we left Orlando & headed for Silver Springs. We arrived at Wilderness campsite around 3:00 p.m. When we went to the office to check in, the woman at the desk was registering us & asked what year our RV was. When we said 1991, she looked at us like we had two heads. She said that they don't accept RV's older than 2000 for a month stay! We explained that we stayed here last year without any problem and that Richard made the reservations about a year ago & that the month was already paid for. She found our paperwork and checked her computer & saw that indeed the month was paid for in advance. She said that the person Richard made the telephone reservations with should have asked what year our RV was & that she will point that out to her for future transactions, but of course being that we had already paid, we were welcome!!! We were so angry Richard said to her "so what you are saying is that unless we get a newer RV, we would not be welcome here next year - so I guess we will just take our money elsewhere". She really never answered. It is a very nice RV campsite, but we have never before been "put down" because our motor home is older , and we have stayed at other really nice campsites. Richard is going to talk to the owners some time this month to see if that is really their policy. After that "insult" we were told that the site we reserved is occupied until Sun. so they are assigning us a different site for 1 day , then we can move into the site we wanted because according to their computer, we were not expected to arrive until Mon. I was ready to really "spout off" & then I looked at our paperwork we brought with us & saw that Richard had made the mistake, the computer was right, he just wrote down the wrong date! So after we got the RV secured, we got out our grill & had a cook-out. The people around us are all very friendly even tho we have a "old RV". We will enjoy this month, we feel our money is just as good. But we will not stay here again if we come back this way.
