Arrived Georgia May 14, 2021

 Arrived Georgia  May 14, 2021

We beat Sherry to her home.  She was still in Tallahassee when we got to the Georgia farm.  Con has keys, I can setup.  


If you read the last post, you will remember that the water did not run.  Campsite water or onboard water.  That is why the empty sink picture.  

My guess is the water lines have been plugged and refuse to empty.  I do not want to take this to a Camping World for their maintenance.  I further guessed that the travel during the day would jostle the plug and free it.  Both cold and hot will not flow, so it must be somewhere they meet.  How about the faucet aerator, dummy?

Off came the aerator on all faucets.  The  bathroom faucet was plugged.  I also found on the Internet that the hot water tank heated will increase pressure.  That with hotel water from Sherry's outdoor faucet will apply a great deal of pressure.  So, the hot water tank was turned on, and I waited. (Took almost 40 minutes to heat the tank.  That's more like it.)  With the aerators off, turned on the bathroom faucet all at once and blew those lines everywhere.  I mean everywhere.  Towels nurse, stat.  Praise the Lord, we now have hot water and plenty of it.


Next job, check the water pump.  After lunch.  So, inside for lunch.  Wait, why is there water everywhere outside the trailer.  I put on my Davy Crockett coonskin cap and followed the stream of water to its source.  One of my hoses was a repaired hose.  The repair broke.  Arrggghh!!
Problem #3,249

To Lowes, to pick up a repair kit, to the local campground to get my propane tank filled, and fill up the gas in the truck while I'm at it.

Point about gas stations and availability.  We have seen two stations with no gas.  There has always been gas nearby.  This gas station had no high test.  Apparently, Georgians like to fill up with the good stuff.  They do seem to favor high performance mobiles.

Once back to the trailer with a full stomach, I tested the water pump.  Afterall, the hose was already off.  Water pump worked, as advertised.  That problem put to rest.  Now to hook the filled propane cylinder back up and call it quits.  

There is a cabinet surrounding the cylinders.  Decorative, hides those insidious containers.  But when I put it back on, it doesn't fit like normal.   AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGG!!!!!!  I am not kidding.  I have taken that cabinet off at least a hundred times.  I just got through taking it off.  And I know exactly how it came off.  Why won't it fit now?  I know the fix, but it is suppertime now and I am not going to fix it tonight.!!!!!

  Florida Mini-Trip 2021 This is really not a gripe session.  I am not trying to be negative.  I am just documenting this year's Florida trip.  Last year we came to Florida in February.  We had completely reserved our entire trip early and had no worries.  Then COVID came.  We got kicked out of all our Florida State campgrounds and ended up returning to OHIO. This year, we didn't make any reservations, because who knows what was going to happen.  But right about mid February, we started hoping.  COVID antivirus shots were taken and we were still alive.  So during March, we started planning.   So, the first order of business was the trailer and making it road worthy.  Upon looking at the tires, I noticed a tire looked worn and needed to be replaced.   The dates on the tires were over 6 years old on all but one.  That means replacement.  So the only tire that wasn't too old was a Goodyear Marathon....

June 8, 2021  We learned about their emergence during the Memorial tournament. Their noise droned in the background of every golf shot captured. Even catching a few sitting on the players as they took their swings.  Well, they were not in Tennessee. But they were at Lincoln State Park in Indiana. When we stopped at the guard house we could not hear the attendant. We stayed inside.  We decided to take the slow boat to Lakeview. Instead of the freeway with 65 mph speeds, we took the two lane scenic routes through the hills. Winding roads with frequent slow curve warnings. Added to the reduced speeds, city restrictions, we had constant rain, some heavy downpours. Result, the 5.5 hour trip took closer to 8.5 hours.  The trip from Tennessee was predicted for 8.5 hours which is why we stopped in Indiana and got on the slow boat. There was a blessing hidden in this slow drive. After leaving Tennessee, we stopped for breakfast. Patti’s. A great breakfast. A Farmer’s omelette...

Triple C, Clothes and Memorial Day

  May 30, 2021 Up with the birds. Setup the picnic table for cooking outside for lunch.  I think the biggest disappointment concerning this campsite is the sporadic connectivity to Wi-Fi. Because our cellular data is running low, we need to use Wi-Fi. Their Wi-Fi problem is the same as it was last year. But after repeated attempts, I was able to update the blog This is truly a private campground. Sites are sandwiched in close with little room to spread out. It is memorial day weekend and campground is full. We are sitting outside as much as possible when the temperature allows. But we go inside for cards and a little cribbage. Con has gotten the worse hands by far. Unbelievable.  May 31, 2021 Memorial Day No fanfare. No parade. I don’t think anyone thanked me for my service. (Actually, someone did on Sunday.) No church yesterday. It wasn’t filmed. We watched Charles Stanley on TV.  We walked a couple times and read the rest of the time. Connie is reading Les Miserabl...
