Winter Excursion 10, Day 87

It's our first of four days off. The campground is empty although it doesn't matter to us, we're OFF! It still seems funny that there is no action in the campground.

We left camp and drove to the Lowes in Warner-Robins. I wanted to pickup a portable dehumidifier and this was the closest Lowes that had the one in stock that I wanted. When temps get below freezing we tend to get condensation on our windows inside. Hopefully the dehumidifier will correct this. Double pane windows would be nice, but we didn't order this camper so we will live with what we got. 

On the way back to camp we stopped for an early dinner at our favorite TexMex joint in the area. Food was very good as usual.

We watched some TV and a movie and readied camp for the coming cold weather and rain. We will be "hunkering" for the next two days. At least we are not forecast for ice!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 86

It was super slow again today due to Winter Storm Fern. We have two campers in the entire campground and both of those have indicated they are leaving early. 

We did a little of our own camp maintenance as there isn't much to do in the campground.

I did have a find of the day. It's actually a "re-find"! Notice the toy to the left and up from the puppy. it's the toy I found on 9 Jan. I gave it to one of the Kiosk Gals and she took it home, washed it, and gave it to her new puppy.

This little gal is 5 months old and has blue eyes! Her name is Izzy, but I call her Itchy.

We are off for the next four days. Keeping our fingers crossed that we get no ice storm!
 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 85

The campground is almost empty! Most campers have left and many cancelled their weekend reservations. At the start of the day we had 8 incoming campers. By the end of the day we had zero! Tomorrow and the next day we have no incoming! This is all due to the big storm coming across the USA. As of now I think we will have just a rain event and avoid the ice.

Cath and one of the Kiosk Gals had a girls day out. Cath got her hair done, they went out to lunch, and did a little shopping. Cath's hair looks great! That left me to do host chores alone, but there was almost none to do!

The find of the day was this hose nozzle.

It's a nice one and I'm sure the camper who lost it will miss it. It now lives at our camper.
 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 84

We are back on duty. The only thing everyone is talking about is the giant storm coming. We are watching developments closely, but I think it is going to be just a rain event for us. Many of the incoming campers have already cancelled their reservations for the weekend.

Host duties are light as there is only a few campers in the park.

The find of the day was this guitar pick.  

I spent the rest of the day looking for the guitar but never found it.
 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 83

We made the drive to Warner-Robins Air Force Base. It's only about 45 minutes away. We hit the commissary, Class VI, and the gas station. We got gas for $2.39! We really didn't need anything from the commissary, but ended up with over $100 in groceries, mainly meat. With our new refrigerator in the camper we can hold lots of frozen stuff.

We spent the afternoon in camp. I even had a campfire for awhile. Temps got into the 50s this afternoon, but are still going into the low 20s at night. We are watching closely the winter storm coming this weekend. Keeping our fingers crossed it is only a rain event for us. Time will tell!  

Winter Excursion 10, Day 82

We left camp this morning and drove to Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park.

This park is only 20 miles from our campground. We didn't even know it was there until we had a bunch of volunteers staying at our campground and doing work at Ocmulgee Mounds.

I'm glad we made the short trip. It is a small park, but has lots of trails. The museum is worth seeing. And of course we got our National Park Passport Book stamped!

On the way back to camp we stopped for lunch and then spent the rest of the day in camp. The weather is still cold. It barely got into the 40s!

Today was our last day off. We start work tomorrow, but the campground is almost empty.

  

Winter Excursion 10, Day 81

I woke up this morning and peeked outside. For a moment I had forgot it was forecast to snow this morning, but only for a moment.

By 1100 it was all gone, but it was pretty while it lasted.

We never left camp all day and barely left the camper to go outside. It was cold and wet.

After I cleaned off the satellite dish we were able to watch the football games. Our co-host came over for dinner and to watch the games.

It's been a fun day off!
