Not much to write about. We got here to this very convenient park right off I81 and...on the surface as we came in, it looked fantastic. A section in the trees...big wide sites. But we wanted satellite so we asked to be put in a treeless site....OK...there's an upper part that is virtually treeless.
We parked, sat outside in the wonderful sunshine and whoaa... here comes RV after RV after RV....they started lining up to check in. And one pulled in right beside us and there was barely room to walk. Another motorhome on the other side and we started to feel like sardines. These sites, we realized are a LOT closer together. But we've got great satellite... It was just aggravating to have people so close to us. Actually, there's cable TV at each site and it had all the channels we wanted, but it's not nearly as clear as our HD satellite.
By nightfall, the park was FULL. But, we also noticed that those around us had not even unhooked their fifth wheels from their trucks and the motorhomes still had their "toads" attached. Sure enough, this morning, the diesels started up. Now, I understand, by their standards it was not early, but I didn't like being this close to that much noise. The motorhome had to warm up his engine for 15 minutes before he finally left...and it was RIGHT beside the bed. Geez.
We had a nice day, tho, took a walk....no one around, but now, at 5:30, the park is nearly full again and we are repacked. The poor guy next to us had to duck to get under our window (cranks out) to get his electricity hooked up....I think we could shake hands from their slide to ours.
Regardless, Ronnie's cooking Montreal chicken outside....it's turning much cooler and rain is expected tonight and all day tomorrow. We have to make a grocery store run again (I know, sounds like we eat a lot, but I don't have a lot of storage space) tomorrow, and it's supposed to be raining. ugh.
We've enjoyed the day, watched the ballgame, I read and we did some bookwork.....man, our credit card is smoking. We had to make adjustments for the value of the Canadian dollar and the US dollar so that made the transactions that I had entered into my checking account software wrong. Had to figure it all out. And the Foreign Transaction Fees...oh my....not much for each one, but a lot of them.
Tomorrow is another "rest" day and then we leave for Crossville TN to stay in the driveway of our friend's home....full hookups. Then we'll all journey down to Crossett AR for our High School Reunion....Helen and I graduated together and Ronnie and Dick are just coming along for the food.
