I Can Park It! This is what I tell everybody that works with me on Santa-Cali-Gon Days parking cars. Well I heard someone yell “How about this one Mr. Norton”? I turned and what did I see but a big RV. So kidding I said “Yes, I have room send it on back”. So they started sending the RV. I said “Wait it won’t clear the trees or power lines” so I said send him around back through the alley and we will park him. So with Mr. Gentry instructing him on which to go, he arrived at where I was waiting in the alley to show him where we could park him. With Mr. Dowding and Mr. Gentry assisting me, we were able to guide the RV into a parking space.
Some people were saying that we should charge him more than $4 and I said to the driver that he only had to pay $4. He said “Well, since I take up two spaces and this is for Scouts I will pay $10”. So I thanked him for his generosity and told him and his family to have a good time at Santa-Cali-Gon Days.
At past Santa-Cali-Gon Days I have parked 83 vehicles which this year we beat by parking 87 vehicles in the lot at the same time (full capacity). Now the parking of this 27 foot long RV will be added to my list of achievements that I have accomplished during Santa-Cali-Gon Days. So I can hardly wait til next year to see what will happen.
These things cannot happen without all of you that helped. So I want to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you.
Til next year, “I CAN PARK IT”
Mr. Norton
Dang that’s a big thing to park.
Couldn’t have done it without the help of some members of Troop 282.
