Set the alarm for 8:00, but had breakfast in the RV before we left, as the entire drive was only about 90 minutes, so even with stops we’ll get there in plenty of time. Left the campground at 10:30, and our first stop was for fuel (we found diesel at $3.49/gallon, which is a bargain rate at the moment), then at a propane place which, unfortunately, didn’t have anyone there to fill our tank, so we moved on, figuring we could pick some up once we get where we’re going. Next stop was at the Depuis Wildlife Management Area Equestrian Center, where they have a free RV dump, plus we wanted to see what it looked like. We heard many nice things about the trails, and the only drawback has been that they don’t allow dogs, though the last few people I spoke to indicated that as long as you keep them quiet and relatively hidden, i.e. not flaunting them past the campground host’s site, that it’s not as vigorously enforced. It’s a moot point for now, though, as we’ll be staying at my brother’s ranchette and can easily drive the 30 minutes for a day ride, but it was good to know for the future (and for others who are following our adventures). Finally we arrived at my brother’s place about 2:30, and an hour or so later, had the horses pastured (with a new pasture buddy, Gandalph the billy goat), the RV set up with electric and filled with water, and the satellite dish up and running. Brother showed up a bit after 5:00, and we chatted awhile before settling down for the evening.
