Winter Excursion 10, Days 203

WE GOT THE TRUCK BACK TODAY! It's only been 48 days, but it's here and running great. ✌
We moved the camper from it's "non-site" to Site #12 at Dames Ferry. We will be here for two nights and then back on our schedule.
We got notified (and pics) that our new truck has been delivered so we are jazzed to get home and take possession. 
We will do some grocery shopping tomorrow and say goodbye (again) to our friends and co-workers at Dames Ferry. They have all been great while our truck was gone.
All is well in the Boss Camp once again.

Winter Excursion 10, Days 193 - 202

During this time period we left Charleston and headed back to Dames Ferry (where the camper is), spent the night and then headed to Nashville. We were in the Nashville area for Catherine's Nieces' wedding. Cath was the Maid of Honor.
Also during this time our new truck was delivered to our dealer in NY.
We got word our current truck repairs were completed. After the wedding weekend we drove back to Dames Ferry and will get our current truck tomorrow. We will stay at Dames Ferry until 21 May. That will put us back on track for our reservations on the way home.
It's been a crazy past seven weeks. Hope we never need to go through it again!

Winter Excursion 10, Days 185 - 192

We are still in Charleston waiting to hear the truck is done back at Dames Ferry.
We are having a good time with the Kids and kiddos, but will be happy when we can resume our travels with the camper.
Stayed tuned for further details! We should get the truck this coming week.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 184

It rained all day and we were house bound for the most part.
Wesley and I had a cribbage match. I won the first two games and he won the next three.
The girls all went to a movie and did some shopping. Cath got a new dress for Emily's wedding.
Wesley and I stayed home. We watched a little of the Derby and had some left over chicken for dinner.
The rain finally stopped around 1800 and we got a little walk in for the dogs.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 183

We had great plans for today, but most of it did not happen.
The AT&T repair man was scheduled to arrive this morning and repair the Kid's new fiber internet hookup. The system was just installed yesterday, but it keeps dropping out. He didn't show up until 1700.
We were going to go to the RiverDog's baseball game this evening, but it got rained out!
So we decided to watch a movie, but the internet continues to keep dropping out. So no movie!
We were going to have baseball food for dinner, but we had some super good chicken thigh fillets on the flattop.
The good news today (besides dinner) was that our new truck has been built and shipped. It will be waiting for us when we get home in June.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 182

We were up at 0700 and started getting ready to move the camper to a "non camping site". It used to be a camping site years ago, but when the State Park system took it over there were a few sites that got closed. The good news is there is power at this non-site so we can run the refrigerator and one of the ACs. That will keep the camper cool and dry! We moved the camper over to that site and by 1100 we were on the road.
We did the 325 mile drive to the Kids and arrived around 1630. Charleston traffic was terrible. It took us an hour to do the last 25 miles!
It was great to see the Kids and Kiddos. We all had a good evening catching up on news.
All is well in the Boss Camp, but will be better we we get our truck back!   

Winter Excursion 10, Day 181

We spent the day finishing packing up and doing camper maintenance.
All the staff stopped by to say goodbye, but we will be seeing everyone again when our truck is fixed and we get it back.
We went out to dinner and got our Italian Fix at Olive Garden. We ordered "Senior Portions". We are starting to realize that we can't eat as much as we use to!
