Hi All: We finally got underway at 1200 today. Things started out kind bad yesterday. I was checking things out on the Motor Home and found a bad battery. Went back up town after being there picking up pool supplies and got a new battery. Put it on charge over night. Got it installed OK. Also when I engaged the step it would go out, but would not go back in. I've had trouble with this step for a while now, So I called all over for a new motor for it and found that there was none to be had in the whole state of Florida. My favorite RV parts place "Gist" RV said he could have one shipped by 1000 the next day so I had him get it. I then went out and had a few words with the electric step and it started to work??? Go figure. Any way This morning I got things going and the dolly hooked up and the car loaded on it and the RV place called at 1030 and said the part was in. Went and picked it up and stored it in the Motor Home in case I need it. If the step malfunctions on the road now I can replace the motor etc, and I may be far enough North that it will be cooler??? The step is still working just fine.
We got to the Suwanee Music Park where we had reservations about two months ago, and got here at about 1600 in the rain. The guard at the gate did not have any our name so we had to park and go to the office. The office did not have our reservation either, but with deep searching in the computer, She said "Amy and Don" Well, the reservation was hidden way down in the computer it seems. She asked if a back in would be ok, I said NO, as I have reservations for a pull thru. She looked and looked. It seems there is some kind of going's one going on here this weekend. She found me a place that was so hidden that we drove around the whole park 4 times before we found it. I had to walk around in the rain to find our assigned site of "GG" Found it in the middle of a bunch of pine trees, and had to go around the whole place two more times to find a way that I can pull in to the site. Got in and just barely had room to open the two slides. Can not open the awning. (Still Raining) Had to use my 35 foor extension cord to hook up the electricity, and use two hoses to reach the water outlet. Will have to hook a couple 20 foot hoses to drain the holding tanks, but will do that when it quits raining. The reservations was also for a site to use my satellite dish, but I am in the middle of thick trees. Satellite will not lock on in here. They do have cable though, so we do have some TV. Kinda snowy, but we can see it. No WiFi, so I hooked up my Allel Internet thing and Wala. I have internet. It worked as advertised, so Here I am on the blog.
This campground is supposed to be a fancy High End campground that we had to pay extra on our campground membership. It is now one that is on our list to NEVER VISIT again. It seems to be full this time of the year, and does have activities going on during the weekend, so that may be the reason it's so busy this weekend. I had mentioned at check in I HAD reservations for a Pull Thru site, but she said she has given them all away due to the busy weekend. I said. I made these reservations two months or so ago, but they blamed the mess up on some one they just fired, so now we are in a site I am not sure we can get out of without cutting down some trees. Didn't bring my chainsaw either.. May have to unhook the car at any rate to wiggle my way thru the trees to get out of here Sunday..
It is now AFTER 5 O'Clock, so I am going to give my trouble to the "Lord". "Lord Calvert" in a bottle.. Things will be better as we go I hope...Amy and Pharaoh are handling things very well.
I'll write more tomorrow and hopefully have lotsl of good things to write.
Semper Fi.
Don, Amy & Pharaoh
