trailers passing the campground

Went to the KOA in Garden City, UT, near Bear Lake to dump my holding tanks.
While waiting in line for the dump station, a horrific screeching and crunching sound was heard in another part of the campground.

2 travel trailers attempted to pass, in the opposite direction, on a road wide enough for one.
Needlessly to say, broken side window glass and they appeared to be stuck pretty tightly.
There were several folks attempting to separate them.
I emptied my tanks and headed home.

Ruined 2 families camping experience for sure!

Fortunately, both were traveling at slow speeds.
I am sure one of them was going the wrong way from looking at the layout of the interior roads.

Playing "chicken" with campers can be a very expensive game.
G-half can always find a way to do things upside-down, inside-out or backward.

Some people are so self centered and think only of themselves. Guess that applies to both of those numbskulls.

Sounds like somebody wasn't following the "rules".

Yep and a goal of getting the gear home undamaged should have more priority than saving a minute here and there. Sometimes I do have to kick myself to be patient-but it's always a good idea. Take the extra step that you're not backing into a tree limb etc. Cost is only a few minutes.


X2.

The time spent being patient and doing it right is a LOT LESS than the time fixing the damage done by not doing it right.

Well worthless without pictures, just guessing that one of the two or both didn't know how to judge distance to the edge of the road!!
