Hi Darlin’!
More rain overnight, but a beautiful, almost clear sky this morning while I finished packing up to move. I had to do the horse stuff, of course, and hook up, which I didn’t do last night, then finally pulled off to the dump a bit after nine, so I was out of camp by about 9:30. Fortunately, had an uneventful drive, though it took longer than I originally planned because I wanted to stay on U.S. Highways rather than cross country. All the interstates around here head northwest toward Chicago, so the wrong direction for me (northeast), and the regular map was calling for routes with lots of turns on small roads, so I opted for the bigger roads with less turns. Worked out well, though, I arrived at Potato Creek around 4:00 local time, having lost an hour changing time zones. The girl assigned me a site, but I had to change it because it was way too short for me (didn’t she notice how long I was, or doesn’t she know the site limits back there?). Anyway, I ended up in a fine spot, simply tied the horses to the hitching post (my least favorite horse containment system), but I didn’t want to take any more time setting up and breaking down, since this was just an overnight stop. I was slowed down a bit by a weak breaker, wouldn’t heat water and run the AC at the same time, but I couldn’t get anyone out despite two phone messages. Did manage to get two loads of laundry in, though, watched a Dish movie (no cell phone signal here, which I’m really getting tired of!), had my shower, now I’m off to bed. Good night, my sweet! Love you!
