Green Bay, WI Truck Repairs & Laundry

Apple Creek Campground (De Pere, WI)
Site #13 - $31, p/w, Internet

I'm sitting at the campground just out of Green Bay waiting on a couple of loads in the laundry. Ron is at the Dodge dealership hopefully getting the truck repaired. They were booked up, but said they'd slot us in if he had the truck there by 7:30, so Ron was on his way at 7 a.m. We did a trial run last night even though he insisted he 'knew the way"  Well, one wrong exit and a couple of turnarounds and we finally found the place!! So yes it was good we did the trial run!
I'll never understand him.  He WON'T ask for directions -- We sat at a Walmart for 1/2 hr. while he studied maps and tried to find a campground, but wouldn't ask anyone or call the dealership to find out where exactly THEY were located -- which exit to take etc., and if there was some camping in the area! And yet he asks the lady in our next camping spot if she has any extra Green Bay tickets and when she says "no", he says "couldn't you leave your husband at home?" Go figure -- we KNOW he's not shy!! What's with men and asking for DIRECTIONS!!??

After locating the dealership last night we stopped at a "super" Walmart and picked up a few supplies. It's open 24 hrs. We had considered 'camping' there for the night, but with no other units on the lot, we weren't sure. (Someone assured us later that it is quite acceptable in US - same as Canada) Oh well, I think I'd rather be sitting at the campground in the sun doing laundry.  

It was SO hot at 32C when we arrived, but we had huge winds and a big downpour in the evening. There were tornado warnings in some areas -- glad it didn't get THAT bad.

If Ron is finished early enough, we will leave Green Bay, this afternoon. I'm sure he will be busy checking out the NEW trucks as he waits. I know there were some 'long boxes' that caught his attention last night!
