Travel Day

October 21 – Wow, what a mess in our campground this morning.  Nothing compared to

There were a lot of acorns this morning

what we saw on the news of the places hit by tornados and horrible storms.  We were quite fortunate to only be bombarded by acorns and a few tree branches.

We managed to get on the road around 9:30 on our quest East.  We stopped about a 1 to fuel up and have some lunch.  The Flying J had meat pies so I got four.  They are kind of small.  Then we had veggies with them.  They actually taste like the Pasties we had last summer in the UP.   We headed back on the road.  We didn’t have a very long day today, only 240 miles. 

We checked in to Cinnamon Creek Campground in Minton, LA and have a decent pull thru spot.  I did some house work and discovered that the washing machine will not power on.  I’m hoping that it is only the plug not secure in the outlet since it’s been sitting at an angle for a month and today we did hit quite a lot of bumpy roads.  It was getting hot in the bedroom so I turned the AC on in there – surprise, it would not run!  Not even the fan.  I checked the breakers and fuses but they appear to be fine.  The AC had been getting really loud and when we had them checked before we left we were told they are on the way out but not to the point where our warranty would cover them, so maybe we’re not at that point!  Good thing we’re only a few days left on the road.

In our campground tonight

Since we are just next door to a couple of restaurants it worked out well that we stayed hooked up.  The one we wanted to eat in was closed so we had Mexican.  I had a very good chicken taco salad with a lot of guacamole.  Bill had a Chimichanga and said it was excellent.  There chips were the thinnest and most crispy I’ve ever had.  It was getting a bit chilly on the walk home.

We watched one of my favorite movies, Independence Day, with Will Smith.  I worked on the computer and ordered my script refills, no matter where we are, life goes on!!
