I thought it might be nice to have a thread to talk about practical concerns. I'll start :).
What should a solo traveler do, if they are camped somewhere they don't know anybody, and get seriously ill -- too sick to shop for groceries, but not sick enough to be hospitalized?
Besides concern for my parents, this is the other thing that is sending me home early. I imagined myself lying in bed in my RV, calling local churches to see if some volunteer would bring me some food. I didn't want to do that.
Obviously this is something that could happen with many diseases or injuries. But honestly, it's not something I had thought about before now.
If I were solo I would call the manager at the front office of the campground for help.
I am sure someone would offer to go out and buy you a list of your groceries you need and put them on your doorstep for you.
You could also order those groceries on-line, if a store is available nearby, pay with your credit card, and a volunteer could pick them up for you.
Front office could also refer you to Quick Care Medical Clinic.
