Camp Hosting New Year Day. Based On A True Actual Event!
The night craziness, slowed down as the sunrise started to show itself. All movements came to a stop.
I had sent my wife to bed for awhile, a couple of hours before.
I sat, leaned back against a sofa pillow, looking out the side window, watching the morning finally arrive. The TV was on, mostly for background sound, and I had figured it would keep me awake.

My wife started rustling around, starting her morning routine.
I got up and stretched, with the feeling, "I had made it!"
About a hour later, I started noticing movement throughout the RV Park. People started to pack up and leave. All waving and honking as they went by.
We finally ventured outside. Holding our breath, as we slowly looked over the area.
I don't know what we expected to see, but whatever it was, we did not see anything, that would have caused us to hold our breath.
Unhooking the golf cart from the charger, we took a slow drive through the RV Park.
I found a guy, named Pat, really working at his sewer hose. Pushing sticks in it, shaking it, then yelling at someone to flush the toilet.
He had a number of other campers, trying to help with their comments and advise.
I decided to see if there was anything I could do to help the guy out. Getting off the golf cart, I asked what was the problem? He explained, he was trying to dump his sewer tank, but nothing was coming out. I replied, when was the last time you dumped the sewer tank. He said, "Never".
Curious, I had to ask, why not? Pat explained he had brought the trailer used, and it sat in the driveway for quite awhile.
So this was the first time, they had a chance to use the trailer.
I then asked, what kind of toilet paper he used. Since most women, like my wife, like the soft tissues, that ends up clogging the tank.
His reply "We Never Use Toilet Paper".
I could not help myself, rolling out of my mouth was "What do you do, sit down on the rug and drag your butt across the carpet in the trailer, like a dog?"
Everyone started to bust out laughing.
Pat tried to explain, when they had gone camping, they always parked near a restroom and used it.
I instructed him to get the hose and a long stick.
Pat went inside with the hose and the stick. I turned the water on full blast. He stuck it in the toilet. At the same time, I told him to push the stick around, down the toilet.
The water started to fill the tank up quite quickly. He yelled it was about to overflow. I turned the water off. Pat came back out, with the hose and the stick. Nothing still was coming out of the sewer hose!
We started to poke the stick up the sewer hose. Nothing. We compressed the sewer hose some and poked. Nothing.. Again.. Nothing!
All of a sudden, we "HIT GOLD!"
I must have jumped 4 feet at least, in one leap, to avoid the gusher. But poor Pat, had it from head to toe!
I decided, before he went back in the trailer, all covered, I would go in and flush out the tank, with the hose.
After a few full tanks of water, it worked great.
Pat was grateful and wanted to shake my hand.
I passed!
