January 19 and 20, 2012

Thursday--We got up and went into Fort Worth to track down my HotSpot.  Guess what, FedEx had put it back on the delivery truck.  The nice lady (finally found one that was willing to help) called the truck and we met him behind Target in Weatherford.  We then went for breakfast and rode with them while they delivered Meals on Wheels.  Back to town to pick up coolers that are delivered in the country once a week.  We delivered in the area of Horseshoe Bend.  Then it is time to eat again.  They choose a nice little restaurant downtown.  They had really good food.  The noon special was only $5.99 and that included your drink.  They also had coconut cream pie.  Robert and I could not pass this opportunity.

Friday--Moving Day....sorry to say goodbye to our friends.  Roberta went into town for an appointment and we packed up and waited for her return.  Sad goodbyes were said and we headed south towards San Antonia.  First stop was at the Circle T Ranch outside of Hamilton.  They had room for one night but were hosting a high school rodeo over the weekend.

Okay, yes it is us in trouble again.......we ran over a big fat spike.  One thing about it, we had several people to stop and offer their assistance between the town of Circleville and Taylor.  Nice folks.  The first was a young man that had just totaled his Nissan Titan when he hit a big cow.  He said the man in front did not stop to help and ever since he has tried to help everyone that he sees in distress.


We waited for over an hour for Good Sam Road Assistance to send us help.  Finally about dusk, the spare tire was on and we found a campsite in Taylor.  We plan to stay here for at least a week.

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!

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

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
