Winter Excursion 10, Day 80

Our first of four days off was nice.

We did some food shopping in the morning, picked up some propane, and spent the rest of the day in camp.

We got our new weather station and I got it all set up. I'll get a pic or two and but it in a later post.

We spent the evening watching football. I'm sure Wesley is back in mourning as the Bills lost in a heartbreaker. 

We have snow in the forecast for tonight. I'll let you know tomorrow if it happens. The locals are freaking out!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 79

Well the temps did not get to 21....they got to 18! It was a cold wet morning and host duties were not real fun. And of course it had to be windy. We had 19 campers arriving so that means 19 sites to check and clean if necessary. The good news was it warmed up into the 50s in the afternoon. It felt like 75 after this morning's chill.

We got the rest of the hardware we needed to stabilize the new dinette table. It all worked well and the thing is rock solid now.

Today was our last day "ON" and it felt great to just relax this evening.

The find of the day was this old rusty cast iron frying pan.

It was buried in a pile of leaves near one of the camp sites. I think it was beyond saving so it lives in the dumpster now.

We are "OFF" for the next four days!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 78

The big deal today is the forecast for tonight. All the locals are freaking out! Temps are forecast to be in the low 20s! I'll know tomorrow what the temps really were.

Meanwhile we are dripping all the faucets and telling the campers how to survive the night with no "city water". In other words fill your fresh water tank and use that tonight. Pretend you are boondocking.

The find of the day was a nickel.

I plan to keep all the change I find during the next four months while hosting, cash it all in, and enjoy a second retirement!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 77

We woke up to rain this morning, but by 1000 it had stopped. Temps are in the low 40s and with the wind chill the cold goes right through you!

Host duties were very light again, but we are full for the weekend.

The find of the day was this little guy. I haven't named him yet, but he's going to ride with me in the host cart from now on.

If anyone thinks of a name leave it in the comments.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 76

The highlight of the day was the arrival of our dinette table (finally)! It looks great and we are super happy with it. It was nice to eat dinner on a real table.

The campground is not full and host duties today were light. Which gave me time to install the new table.

It was cold this morning, but warmed up into the 60s in the afternoon. We do have rain and very cold temps in the forecast for the next few days.

The find of the day was this old, gray wash cloth. Whoever used it last obviously didn't like it as I found it in the campground road.

It now lives in the dumpster.

 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 75

Our last day off and we are expecting our table for the dinette to be delivered. They forgot to pack it with the dinette. However, good ole' FedEx did not deliver it. Hopefully we get it tomorrow!

We left camp this morning and went to CVS to get all our scripts squared away while we are in this area. This CVS was very helpful. They have a great staff.

We did some food shopping before we are "ON" for the next four days.

Early afternoon we went to the Whistle Stop for our fry fix. Fried Green Tomatoes, Rooster Strips, and Country Fried Steak was our early dinner. 

Forgot to mention the yummy lemonade and sweet tea! Lots of health food..LOL!
 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 74

We spent the entire day in camp watching football. The Bills won, so Wesley is not in mourning!

Ed (our co-host) came over for dinner. We did up two batches of wings and Cath made a great macaroni salad. It was great football food.

The weather has turned cold. Temps will be in the 20s tonight. All the campground faucets are "dripping" and will be for a least the next week or so.
