Day 61; June 27 - One Way Streets

We got up early (Driver/Boss even got up before I did).  We had to take the camper to the spring man to evaluate the problem.
 After that lovely experience, the driver (brother-in-law thinks the driver needs a new name, driver wants to be boss but THAT ONE HAS BEEN TAKEN!) wanted some time alone?  Found him sitting at the empty table across from our spot.  While he was in the spring shop, the refrigerator man called and they had a unit; but our cabinets would have to be modified,  GrMa Bear was not in favor of that.
 We have this nice little spot with a tree and table.
This is my new side-by-side refrigeration system.  Blue matches the trailer and is really handy.  This morning when I made my coffee and was ready for the cream, I just had to step outside in my nightie and scare the neighbors.

Now the one-way street story.  When we were looking for repair shops we were listening to our updated Garmin and GrMa.  GrMa told driver to turn right.  When we looked up there were four lanes of cars coming straight at us!  Driver headed for the first drive he could find.  The owner of the house came out (must have been sitting on his porch) to see what we needed.   Couldn't see to back out, so I got out to direct.  Way was clear, but the driver took a little too long explaining to the man why we were in his drive.  By the time he backed out, the cars were coming again and I was left standing in the middle of the road and the driver tried to take off without me......so I proceeded to run after him.  Old fat lady caught up and the driver was giggling and saying should have had a picture of that one!  He was laughing again in the afternoon and was saying how the cars coming probably had never seen anything like that before.....

Aren't you glad that after all the repairs we have had to make, we are still laughing.

Love to all!  Stay safe and don't drive on one-way streets.  If you do, let the driver figure out how to get back on it!

Days 93 and 94; July 29 & 30 -- Canada to USA

Whee.....what a long three days.....we put a lot of miles on the vehicles and our bodies.  When I last blogged we were at Dave's RV Park in Vanderhoof, BC.  Gary said that this was one of the best kept campgrounds that we had visited.  The bathrooms were spotless and the grounds and flowers matched.  We aimed to go around 200 miles and stop.....somehow that didn't fall into place.  We stopped for lunch at a rest area.  I took this pictures overlooking the valley below from the camper door.  You can see the screen door marks on the picture.  All along this road, we passed original log houses and out buildings.  It made you feel like you were travelling on the very path that the pioneers had taken.  We finally found a campground in the canyon.  Gary got out to take his movie pictures and asked me where we were and what was the name of the campground.  Neither of us knew.  We did have a good dinner.  He grilled t-bone steaks, we had grilled potatoes, salad, and fried bread.  Yu

Day 105; August 10 -- Woman's Work?

Image
Today the driver got up and took the truck for its 9:00am appointment.  They flushed and cleaned and changed the oil and then claimed they could not find any problems.  They suggested that we drive it and see if the cleaning and collapsed air filter correct the problem. I did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned out a couple of drawers, and tried to straighten the closet.  It seems to have more "stuff" than it did when we started? Is it a sign that we are ready to head home?  We get excited when we see signs with our family member's name on it? This is the Green Acres RV Park in Redding, CA.  It is what I was expecting California to be like.  It is a "picky" park that is manicured daily with two gentlemen that remind me of Uncle Ray.  (Maybe that it how I imagine California?) You can stay in the park monthly for only $3$0+.  I do think you have to pay for your own electricity. Last night the driver wanted to go for a drive, I wanted to

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

Image
I noticed that the last post was a Merry Christmas post.  Wellllllllll..... Happy New Year! Yesterday, December 30, we headed to Florida.  One more sticker added to the camper map.  Yippee! I held the camera for five miles with the intention of not missing the change of state sign.  I had it aimed at the side of the road and was viewing every sign along the way......about the time I pushed the button for this picture, the Driver (think next year we will promote him to Travel Planner--you know it is one of those things that employers do to delay a raise in pay) hit a BUMP! The next picture is on the way to our new campground.  It is called Whispering Pines in Silver Springs, Florida.   Gary booked this campground using our Passport America.  We get full hookup sites for $14 per night.  He has done a really good job picking out the sites.  Don't you agree he needs a new title.  Travel Planner he will be!  Diesel is a little high $3.82 to $4.07. Today we drove around O
