Jan 27 and 28, 2012

Friday--Didn't do a whole lot.  In the afternoon Gary wanted to go back north and try to pick up another pair of pliers for his tires....ha!  We drove around Granger Lake.  It was pretty dirty from all the rain that we received the past few days.


Granger Lake

 We stopped at TSC and he got two new shirts and a ramp for his "hog".  I think he wishes he had taken more time and hitched it to the trailer.  Men!  They just won't listen.

Saturday--Forty years ago today we were headed to Jefferson City Missouri in the old 58 Ford because the new Mustang would not start.  The roads were icy and we had a baby boy that was ready to make his entrance into the world.  I know he sure filled a void in my life.  The gap from my mother's passing had not healed yet; but those little brown eyes sure helped.

We packed up and left Taylor around 10:00am.  We drove south to Seguin to find a campground.  We had tried several and to our dismay they were filled or booked.  Gary suggested that we just start driving south and see what we could find.  About 10 miles south on Hwy 123 we passed a horse farm with an RV sign.  We pulled in and they had just finished a brand new spot for us.  I don't know the name of the park but will let you know later.

Today has been a good day.  I have talked to all three of my boys.  They are doing well.

This is a picture of the man who drives and sets the camper up at each destination.

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

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

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

Day 119; August 24 - Finally!

Image
Here we are.  Friday we signed the papers with the promise of picking up the truck on Monday.  But, life likes to remind us who is boss.  We left this afternoon around 2pm with the 2001 Diesel.  I told Gary on the way to the dealer that it was like taking our German Shepard to the vet with the intention of putting her down, and he would could home with her again.  Too hard to depart.  The Diesel didn't want to say good-bye either! But tonight, after drawing the attention of the New Car Manager (all the sales personnel knew us by name) and General Manager, the truck was finished.  A couple from California stopped by to ask questions and visit about diesels.  I think that did it!......  when the customers thought we were a permanent fixture to the store.  Our truck got finished around 6pm.  The General Manager said if we had to stay longer they would buy us dinner.......The first running boards they tried to install were not right, so we got an upgrade.  They are nice!  The Driver
