We store some food under a dinette seat, several month after a trip I noticed something hanging down from the seat. So I removed the seat and there was some onions in a bag, that were sprouting and looking for light, and went up and out through a crack in the seat cushion base 2' long.
Didn't hurt anything but sure looked funny and strange.

Campnfuls: After washing out the freezer, which I hope you've done, wipe it down with some vanilla on a paper towel. I usually leave the towel in the refridgerator/freezer for good measure.

I'm still trying to remember which rest stop it was so I can go back and get her.
Don't bother going back...I have her. She's a great cook and can also paddle boat and clean fish!

Several years ago we were celebrating DS's girlfriend's birthday in a camp ground. We got a call that DBIL had had a heart attack, we packed up the TT as quickly as possible to get back home. It was the last trip of the fall and when we started getting ready to go in the spring, found her birthday cake in the oven where we'd stuck it for the ride. It wasn't pretty! Very suprised that there were no signs of mice or ants. Sharon

I have found bread in the cupboard, that had grown hair by time I had found it.

Chicken is the worst. I was "helping" my mom and digging something out of her freezer. I had set some items on the top to move them out of the way, and apparently a package of chicken fell behind the freezer. She finally found it a week later. Fortunately, the bag contained all the liquid so the cleanup wasn't bad.

Some help I was that day, huh?

A while ago, we came back from Summer camp with the scouts. I put the troop trailer in the shed at school and went about our summer. As fall approached we began to prepare for fall camping. It was inventory time. Counted the tents, pegs, cook stoves, kerosene lanterns and coolers. I counted 5.... Thing is... the troop only owns 4 Opened up the Mystery cooler. OH MY GOODNESS!!!! Did that thing SMELL! One of the scouts that was helping stated quite excitedly.. THERE IT IS!!! I thought I left it at Camp.... It WAS full of food. Talk about gross....

He called his mom and explained that she needed to pick up the cooler. Once she got there, she said to just throw it away... It was funny at the time...
