Tuesday, August 18, 2026 – Travel Day to Ft. Custer, MI

Hiya Darlin',
Woke up to my alarm and got busy with breakfast, morning chores and final packing. I was expecting the folks that loaned me a generator (thanks so much for that!) around 9:00, but they were delayed, so it was after 10:00 before they arrived and loaded up. I was out of camp around 10:15, had a thankfully uneventful drive to Fort Custer, about 2+ miles south. Stopped at their dump to unload black water and take on fresh water, got to the horse camp and got set up on a couple of high line posts, started a couple of loads of laundry, and settled down for the evening. Happy to have electric here, yay! Visited with my new friend Cathy Weeks, another full-timer, who decided to come at the same time as me, hopefully we'll get a chance to ride together. Flash was much better today, the travel didn't seem to bother him at all, so fingers crosses, he'll be well enough to ride this week. I discovered that the well pump wasn't really a hand pump as I had been told, but a frost free spigot with no spigot, similar to Sugar Hill in NY, so I was able to apply my spigot and long host to it, and refill easily as a result. Happy about that discovery! I was going to put out my water barrel for the expected rain tonight, but now that I know I can easily reach and use the water pump here, that's not necessary. Settled down for the evening, rain is just starting to come in, so it's time for shower and bed! Good night, babe! Love you!
