And Now The Rest of The Story

On my last post I said I was eyeing the swimming pool.  It was definitely calling my name, so I changed into my swimsuit and went for a refreshing swim.

We had a few days when it rained and the wind was pretty strong.  During one of the storms a branch fell from the tree and hit the RV, screen room and knocked the power line out of the electric box.  As we have DC power also, the lights didn't go out, but I realized there was a problem when the clock was blank on the microwave.  Gene was able to straighten the prongs and plug it back in.  The screen room had a couple small tears that we patched with duct tape and we were good as new.

One evening we joined several folks from the church and Ranch for a pot luck supper.  It was delicious food and great fellowship.

On Friday,  Aug. 5th, we took down the screen room and folded up the hammock as rain was predicted for the rest of the weekend, which it did.  After church on Sunday we moved from Wilder Campground #1 to Wilder #2.  Friends, Ron and Carolyn whom we had met in 2014,  moved to Wilder #2 also and we were able to spend some time with them.  The day before we left, she took me for a ride in their Polaris to several places on the Ranch and we even saw a doe with triplet fawns.

Alas, on Tuesday, Aug. 9th, we had to leave.  We said our goodbyes and headed for Golden Pond RV Park in Shirley, AR - a short trip of four hours.  The next day was much longer.  We had hoped to make it to
Hattiesburg, MS, Okatoma RV Resort, but when we got to Vicksburg, MS six and a half hours later, Gene was pretty tired. so we spent the night there.  Thursday we stopped at Donna's 6 Produce in Florence, MS for ice cream and fresh fruit and veggies on the way to Wilderness RV Park in Robertsdale, AL.  Friday was a short run to Torreya State Park in Bristol, FL.  We had stayed there for a few days last September and really like it.  The campsites are huge and the bathhouse really clean.  Saturday, we made the final leg of the journey home, arriving about 2:00.  The rest of the day was spent in unloading everything from the RV.  I'm still in the "putting away" process, but it will eventually get done.

It was wonderful to be able to spend time at Cloud 9 with old friends.   May God bless all of them and all of you.  Until our next trip, safe travels and good health.
