We planned for a few days at the Apple Valley Farm Motorcoach Resort. We'd stayed here, or near here on previous occasions. We have 12 acres on the side of a "mountain" near Lake Lure, NC. (When we moved to Colorado we realized what mountains really were!) The resort is about 4 miles from our property. We used to have a trailer installed near the top of our land, and used that as a camp. The road is too narrow and steep to ascend in our motorhome.
We spent 3 nights on lot 133, and decided to spend 3 more nights, but we had to move to lot 107.
On. the third morning we had a problem. Our Jeep had gone berserk. It had lights and error messages flashing all over the place. It wouldn't go into gear. We couldn't turn it off. I had to call the owner and ask for an extension of an unknown number of nights....we couldn't leave even if we wanted to with the Jeep parked in front of the motorhome.
We called the Jeep roadside service number. They would try to find a wrecker. It took 2 1/2 days!!! OK, so it was Memorial Day Weekend, and we are kinda in the boonies! The wrecker came first thing Monday (Memorial Day) morning and took our broken vehicle to the closest dealer in Marion, NC.
The technicians are scratching their heads. They can't figure it out. The Jeep keeps throwing more error codes, and now it won't even start. Sigh. Here we sit, like anxious parents with a child undergoing surgery!
But hey, if you have to be stuck, this is certainly a beautiful place to be stranded!

Hope they got it all figured out, although it looks like a gret place to be stranded!
