If the rain wasn't enough, now it's super windy. Hi I'm Mike and this is Mike's Road Trip.
"Get off the road..." "All right!"
What a crazy start to our morning. The morning it's been geez no it's it's a proper morning but
earlier oh my god we just woke up that's how i look like this i just put my rain jacket on
and we woke up in the lake it has been raining the whole night and we are next to a lake we are in a
camping ground and uh it has been pouring down and now we woke up really in the water look at this
and our jacks are not coming up so we can start our trailer it's incredible so we had to manually
raise them up oh god did you drive it already yes and it just wasn't like getting any
power
yeah yeah are we all set to go now yeah with the we both have the
we have the leveling jacks up uh and uh we can now drive out of here oh my god it's still
whoa that was a lightning luckily we did not unhook it last night huh
wow oh jesus it's still going we just got this set so we don't know it
inside and out but luckily people were helping crank it so we gotta get out of
here i think i have the keys okay okay we were awoken by somebody pounding on the trailer and
the we were kind of wondering like our neighbor next to us was just talking our ear off last
night and we yeah my ear because she would escape and go into the i was busy i was busy doing stuff
and so we're like what does he want this early in the morning we had just woken up
and um so yeah they were really pounding so we knew it was an emergency so i finally get my
pants on and i open the door and it's completely flooded the lake had risen god i don't know how
many feet i don't know in fit anyway well true how many meters do you think um i mean six meters yeah
oh no not six meters no i think it was it was six would be no that would be way too high what do you
mean like this oh yeah no i was thinking how much oh right it was more than 10 meters oh way more
yeah because we were not obviously not right on the edge of the lake because it's a camping ground
so there is enough space but it has been pouring down the whole night and then we woke up in the
lake it looked like the lake was all over yeah we were literally in the lake it was like this
like the water yeah because everybody was in the water and we couldn't lift the jacks up so we can
start our trailer thank god we didn't un unhooked it or unhitched it uh yeah unhitched and used it
yesterday so we could just start just like that after we lifted the jacks because if you had to
actually do all that and it's pretty low it could have been a little bit in the water what a crazy
morning thank goodness somebody was pounding on our trailer this morning to wake us up because
as you can see it's still pretty dark uh i don't know it's maybe about six in the morning
and cannot believe how much the lake came up it's extraordinary and i mean we were in about
18 inches maybe 20 inches of water the trailer the truck oh wow so i'm gonna go back down
uh mihaila is uh back in the trailer and i'm gonna go back down and see if i can help anyone
yeah we're staying at the thousand trails trey snatch uh campground and we're
camped on one of the uh the lakeside camp spots beautiful otherwise yeah we are hoping
for a sunset we're getting ready with a bottle of wine we got here in time and started raining
yeah it literally rained the entire night and the lake i'm guessing was probably 50 feet at least
from the trailer or the camp spots and it had risen all that way to come all the way in and then
we were probably 18 inches in water but this guy here after he pulled the trailer here he went back
and he helped everybody there so until everybody got out so now we are all lined up dried out here
and everybody's safe i'm helping this guy connect his truck but he has to park all the way out here
oh well it feels really good to help some folks out and now i'm absolutely soaked and freezing
and can't wait to take a warm shower yeah it was really heartwarming to see everybody come together
and help each other like once you were done helping someone with one task somebody would go to
get to another trailer and help people and i was helping this older couple who are kind of new to
rving and he was uh he was a bit overwhelmed so i was i was happy i was there to help him yeah
well good thing that we are all safe right now but hey this is the start of our trip
so earlier this year i sent me hilah a package for her birthday and it did not
arrive for two two and a half months don't you think uh yeah yeah once yeah i was two months
so i had bought her something else that i really wanted to send her
but given that experience i decided no i'm not going to do it so i have hauled this package
that i bought her this present um and she is about to open it so here she is
i love presents giving them and receiving them and i've been
dying to see what this was he didn't let me open it
by the way i got my present two months later on 8th of
march international women's day so it was still a nice day to get a present
oh you have to turn the package over i think because it says it gives you
an indication of what it is on the other side
on which side here oh maybe it's inside the box yeah
do you need a knife no
okay uh this looks amish horse and carriage oh you're right but oh
oh wow
i kind of have an idea no you don't actually so
oh my god there are two
okay just opening oh my god
oh my god i love yellow look how cute this is oh thank you
but we don't stop here now she does know what the other package is but she didn't know that one
yeah because i did show her on the facetime what this other one is and that's why i
opened this one first because i couldn't wait to see what it was i saw this one on
the camera but still i want to see it like live wow wow i didn't know it was like this inside
oh my god does this guy know how to shop or not or what or what
look oh my god he did so well thank you
and as it is gift is changing time now it's his turn because we haven't seen each other
for christmas for our birthdays and everything so we sent stuff along so he got the pair of my
watch so but now he's got a present as well which is wrapped in romanian um pattern yeah i love this
i wanted it to be romanian stuff but i didn't manage to have everything pure romanian so
oh wow oh babe that's a beautiful shirt look what it says on your
traveler oh that's cool oh i love it is this sure that doesn't wrinkle
so it's a little bit elastic and that actually that is pure romanian this is with egyptian cotton
