Moving down the pike to Maumee area


June 1 - Bill was up at 7:30 since we were headed to Maumee, well,  Whitehouse is where the campground is.  He made plans to lunch with his high school friends and we needed to get here and hooked up since the tanks are full and with the heat we’re getting a bit of odor.  It didn’t take long to eat cereal for breakfast and pack things up.  By the time we hooked up the car we were on the road close to 8:30.  Bill laid down as he didn’t sleep well (must have been the excitement of seeing his friends) and I drove in the nasty rain.  He got up just as I was exiting from the expensive Ohio Turnpike.  The West Virginia Turnpike was a much better deal!

Thankfully the rain stopped before we did and our spot was available!  Bill hooked up, emptied the tanks, showered and headed out.  I cleaned my disgusting floors, did 2 loads of laundry, changed the bed and walked to the office to ask about WIFI and low water pressure.  I discovered one of the bed sheets got left at home in the linen closet.  Good thing I carry a set for the sofabed!

This is a nice campground, Twin Acres.  Lots of trees, well kept, nice people!  Most of the lots are seasonal people.  There’s quite a variety of RV’s, park models and a few cabins.

Bill was gone 4 hours!  I was beginning to think he forgot where he left me.  They all met in
Bill and his high school buddies
Whitehouse as a courtesy to Bill for driving the farthest.  Two of the guys drove down from Michigan but it’s only 2 hours.  They had a great time catching up and reminiscing.  One of the guys has a service dog that came also.

It rained lightly on and off all afternoon, only increasing the number of mosquitoes.  They get inside every time the door is opened.  Not too many people out moving about!  The water pressure is horrible so to get a decent shower it’s better to use our fresh water tank and pump.  I also had a issue of the power shutting off and after 4-5 minutes it would come back on.  Strange!  I finally called the office after 3-4 times and a guy came by but couldn’t understand why it was doing that since no one else on our grid was having trouble.  I went from 2 AC’s to one and it still did it and I realized it was the dryer causing it.  Never had this issue before so will see how it goes at other campgrounds.

We finally had a light dinner of pulled pork and raw veggies.  The fridge is starting to look like at home, filling up!

We can’t get satellite under the trees and the antenna isn’t much better so we listened to some Sirius radio old time shows and read.
