Re: Need to move - dicey situation
Hello All!
I want to first THANK EVERYONE for your undying support and words of kindness. My situation in Frederick, MD was terrible.
I will warn you all now: DO NOT EVER GO TO: SHIELDS EVERGREEN POINT PARK!!!!
What I have learned about this place is that is it owned by a foreigner who bought the land about 6 years ago to build a retail shopping center in this area. Just about the time he wanted to start tearing up and building, the Frederick County, MD passed a building moratorium. As a result, he is 'stuck' with the RV rental sites.
The Manager: Dennis Kline, seems to be a 'friend of the family'. It seems Dennis can do no wrong. The fact that he neglected to pay the park's electric bill, therefore causing all of us to lose our electricity over the 4th of July weekend, means nothing to the owners! Not to mention the fact that he allowed drug dealers and drunks to live there, too.
I called and wrote a letter to the owners, both during the time I was there, and also after I left. Never got a response.
Clearly, they just don't give a damn!
I will try to contact the local news people and see if we can bring this blight to light. I'll let you know how that goes!
In the meantime, I am safely and happily ensconced at Shenadoah Hills KOA in Madison, VA. Sandi and Bob are great people and this place is just lovely.
It means so much to have REAL PEOPLE here to oversee the maintenance and management of this Campground. I feel safe and secure here, not afraid like I was in Frederick,MD.
I am farther away from the family, but only 90 mins from Bethesda....not so bad.
Dear Husband is still in Abu Dhabi, but we do see some light at the end of the tunnel. He will be home -- for good -- either by end of 2009 or NO LATER than June 1, 2010.
Again, many thanks for your constant support! It means everything to have my RV Sisters and Brothers looking out for me!!
