Winter Excursion 10, Day 182

We were up at 0700 and started getting ready to move the camper to a "non camping site". It use 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 that 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! 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 180

Today was our last day hosting for this year.

We finally got some rain, but not enough to lift the fire bans for this area, Hopefully we will get some more rain soon. The campers are all upset that they cannot have campfires or use charcoal.

The find of the day was this tiny broom. 

I'll leave it in the host cart for the next host. Maybe they could use it to clean a site. That would be an all day job, this broom is only 3 inches long!
 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 179

It was a super quiet, easy day. We spent the afternoon sitting outside enjoying the cool temps and a light breeze. We only hand a handful of campers leaving and arriving.

We continue to do a little packing up each day in preparation of leaving the camper here and heading to the Kid's house in Charleston.

The find of the day was this button.

I hope nobodys pants fell down!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 178

It was a fairly normal work day, except 5 of the campers leaving decided to wait until after checkout time to leave. This always puts a dent in our routine and schedule. I think it would be fun to be "entitled"! 

The find of the day was this colorful propeller.

I attached it to our cart and was really surprised that it actually makes our cart go faster!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 177

We actually got a little rain this afternoon. There is a State wide burn ban in effect, but the little bit of rain we had will not get the ban lifted. Man of the campers are a little upset as there are no campfires, charcoal, or candles. They can only use propane.

Once again we spent the day in camp. We did a little more packing up and just relaxed.

We have three days ON starting tomorrow, and then we plan to go to the kid's until the truck is fixed.

I got this pic of the Georgia State Bird the Brown Thrasher. We don't see this guy very often.

 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 176

We spent most of the morning putting all the outside stuff away in preparation for our soon to happen move. After four months in one place I almost forgot where all this stuff goes when we move!

We drove over to the Ford Dealer to see how the truck is doing. The truck was still outside and they plan to get started on it again next week. They still don't have a loaner for us and the rental vehicle we have is costing us over $300 a week. Ford will only reimburse us for 10 days of rental at a max cost of $40 per day. YUK!

We spent the afternoon in camp people watching and relaxing.
