Silence is not golden

One our last trip to Blue Springs State Park we came back to our camper from tubing in the spring to silence. Normally this is a welcome sound, with two kids under four it’s not even something that we are accustomed to. In this case it was not golden - our air conditioner had died.

Typically, we can recover from minor failures like our experience at Oscar Scherer where the electrical input to the camper had issues. With air conditioning however, it is almost never a minor failure, especially since they are typically a ‘closed’ system. Nevertheless, we went through the typical recovery steps. Cycle the breaker, wait a few minutes, listen and then an amazing loud thud thud thud screech - at that moment we knew that this trip was over.

Back in July of 2017, we packed up the camper and headed to Oscar Scherer State park for a long weekend. We had the intent to visit friends on the west coast - to Floridians west coast means the Tampa side - and to lounge at the Gulf beaches. Little did we know that we’d find ourselves having a shockingly different experience.
