Summary

The campground to which Bonnie directs the car is isolated and up a rough, difficult road. The campground shows storm damage, too. They meet the new owner, Bill, another old acquaintance of Bonnie's. He explains the damage came from Hurrice Dennis, in July, not Katrina. He bought it cheap after the Dennis damage and when it looked like Katrina would pile on. He was now rebuilding by himself during the off-season. The visitors decide they can stay and help before returning north, leaving the motor home with Bill.

Catalina is happy to see her mother has found a new interest other than Roger. This leads to a discussion between the couple about what happens after helping with the Katrina cleanup. She isn't interested in living in Wychbold and Roger is enjoying see things outside of Michigan.

When the couple finally navigate the RV to the campground, they are unsurprised to discover Bonnie and Bill snuggled by a fire and dressed for a nudist campground.
