Coopernook State Forest camping ground

Post by Swisslulu »

Well, the GPS led us a merry dance today! We ended up on a closed dirt road where we had to turn around in a tight spot. Then we ended up having to reverse 100 meters down another dirt road. Finally ended up here. Very pretty large grassed area but the mozzies and flying insects are gonna drive me nuts!

And just to add insult to injury, just opened the fridge. Tub of yoghurt upside down, fortunately with the lid intact. Jar of horseradish cream on its side, lid off and half the contents spread over the items below. Gotta keep the fridge jammed tight to stop things moving around. Another lesson learnt!

Would something like a Tupperware tray work? Might not curtail the spill, but may contain it.

dawg (or you could stuff the fridge shelves with spare towels to keep things in place)

Brian has a handy idea that uses adjustable rods with rubber feet on the ends. you just pack everything into the fridge shelves and then jam these spring loaded rods from side to side, about half way up the shelf, nothing escapes then. Maybe brian can put up a link to where he bought them, they work great in the Mazda fridge.

This doing a 50 point turn is an area not much bigger than the rig is becoming popular it seems :lol:

Yes, Brad, that would work. I have a plastic tray that I had some bottles in - they were the ones that got covered in the horseradish cream! I have other plastic containers that I can use for the remaining spillable items which I will press into service before we leave tomorrow. Prior to this, the fridge had been quite full so no chance of things moving around. I will pay more attention to packing the fridge in future. Now that we have the Lithiums installed, I don't have to panic about how long the fridge door is opened. ;-)

Well you have solved your problem in one Swell Foop - just take the sack out of the box and the limp bag will adjust to the odd shapes in the fridge restraining the recalcitrant wayward items and will chill the wine at the same time.

The only problem is how to get all that wine from those bottles into that wine sack. Solutions anyone? :lol:

dawg (I guess you could suck it out of the bottle and spit it into the nozzle opening) :o

Good place there. Is the toilet there working yet?
