Our Location today is Moore Haven, Florida, U.S.A.
After spending the night tossing and turning with the
anticipation that I mostly experience before a travel day we both managed to be
out of bed by 7:30 this morning. We didn’t rush while we had breakfast and
watched the local weather channel. We were fortunate enough that the
temperatures would not be overly warm but nowhere as cold as it was yesterday. After
dressing for cooler weather we were leaving the park by 9:00 this morning.
Against the objections of Tom our GPS I turned in the opposite
direction from what he wanted. Our first stop of the day was for fuel at the
Shell station just a mile east of the park. I hadn’t realized that the last
time I had fueled the truck we were still in Georgia and we had since driven
nearly 600 miles and over 400 of those miles were towing our trailer.
Thankfully with the constant dropping of fuel prices filling up was a lot
easier to take.
Tom was very happy when we started following his
instructions on how to get to the nearest Camping World. If you recall I called
to preorder today’s purchases that we planned on making. When we arrived just
after 10:00 and I explained the call-in they didn’t have any idea what we were
talking about. The manager got involved and double checked that my call had
been taken by a clerk in the overflow calling center. (I don’t know if that
really happened or they were shooting me a line.) Once the manager found the
called in order he assigned an associate to gather the order while we looked
around for a breathable mat that we hadn’t put on the list. Within ten minutes
our order was assembled minus the Fantastic Fan that we wanted. If the order
had been processed yesterday we would have had our fan but it was sold just
before closing yesterday. Since we’ll be in the area for the next couple of
months they will call us when it comes in and hold it until we pick it up.

Our next stop was Fleamasters Flea Market which was only a
few miles away. We had been walking for over an hour and I had already brought
some purchases back to the truck when Kathy suggested we have a snack but when I
told her it was nearly 1:00 we chose to have lunch. Since Kathy has some food allergies
she chose something safe like Bacon Cheese Fries and a pop. My order was a pop
and Trashcan Fries. They were the same as Kathy’s but were also smothered with Jalapeno
peppers. We were both stuffed trying to eat them all and luckily we still had
plenty of walking to do before getting back to the truck. We bought the last of
our purchases which was fruit and continued our walk back to the truck to wear
some of our lunch off.
Back on the road Tom directed us nearly through the entirety
of Fort Myers to the Harbor Freight. While we were driving through Crystal
River last Friday we had stopped at their Harbor Freight and I had purchased a
cargo carrier for the back of the trailer. On Sunday I did some measuring and
found out it wouldn’t work the way I wanted. I walked in with the box unopened
and the receipt in hand and they were more than happy to refund me for it.
Heading back in the direction of camp we stopped at the Winn
Dixie in LaBelle to restock things we’ve used and a few things for our freezer.
By the time we got home the sun was starting to set and we still had some
unpacking to do. For supper we had a coffee and a sandwich because we were
still full from our lunch.
Tomorrow I am going to get some exercising in and then I have
to try to make use of these purchases we made for the trailer today. Thanks for
following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.
