Our Location today is Crystal River, Florida.
Kathy was only in bed a half hour ahead of me last night but
was shocked when she got up that I had packed all the computers, chairs and
tables away in the back room of the trailer. As we sat having our breakfast we
both noted something else that was strange. For this having been a pretravel
night somehow we both slept like a couple of logs only waking momentarily when
the rain really intensified around 3:00. Having both awakened just before 8:00
we took our time having breakfast before packing the remainder of things in the
trailer.
Kathy finished the inside and while wearing my rain gear I emptied
and flushed the tanks before destabilizing the trailer. The rain made closing
up a little more time consuming but again we were in no real hurry and we were
on our way before the 11:00 checkout time.
The rain seem to come and go in waves but after only twenty
minutes we stopped at the Walmart in Chiefland where we needed to shop for a
barbeque cover. When we were about to leave we noted it was noon hour and
walked across the parking lot to Burger King where we enjoyed a new Rib
sandwich for lunch. Again we just took our time because we didn’t have far to
travel. Walking back to the truck the rain seemed to become lighter than it had
been earlier.
Now we were on our way to Nature Coast RV just inside the
boundaries of Crystal River. Last March when we were in the area I had ordered
AC and Heat vents with dampers in them. Unfortunately some of the order didn’t
arrive until after we had left the area. Instead of asking for a refund I said
ship them to the campground in Bushnell that we be going to in two weeks. When
we arrived the package was there minus one wall mount heat vent but with a note
to call them. They said they had just received the part but would refund me for
it. Since we already had reservations for Rock Crusher Park for today I told
him to put my name on the part and I’d pick it up on this date. They were
surprised to see me nine months later but my part was waiting. That’s what you
call good service.
The rain had now stopped and within twenty minutes of
leaving Nature Coast RV we were pulling into Rock Crusher Canyon RV Park. They
had our package ready and five minutes later we were on our way to the same
site we had last January. In less than five minutes we had the trailer parked
and were starting to get set up for the next month. There was a problem. The
person who had just moved from our site had a large dog that he didn’t pick up
after. A helpful neighbor who has a dog helped clean his mess and then went to
the office and reported the mess. Ann came back from the office saying that
person had denied having a pet. Their file is now marked and he’ll be denied
access to camp here in the future.
Since it had stopped raining Kathy thought barbecuing a
couple of burgers on our Weber would be nice. I just finished setting it all up
and the rain came back with a vengeance. Oh well burgers tomorrow. Our total
trip for the day was only 83.5 miles. Thanks for following along and feel free
to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

Now that is a short drive;)
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it there safely and can relax for a month. Too bad about the dog mess.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you made it to your destination. I will take the rain over the snow and below zero temps we are having. Enjoy Curt
