Sunday, September 12, 2021 – Prep Day

Hey Sweetie,
Maybe it’s all the trees here, but people in this campground tend to get a late start! It was after 9:00 before people starting moving around, so it was nearly 9:30 before I got up and moving. Got the horses and Lola and myself fed, then started putting things away in preparation for my departure tomorrow. At one point a guy stopped by to ask about the solar panel, and in the end bought a book. Later, the folks who were camped across from me over the weekend, but who left early this morning, came by on their Gator and chatted for a bit (they bought a book from me yesterday), and earlier, I took back the palette to the store, but they were closed for the day, so I left a note thanking them. Before I knew it, the day was gone, I’m almost fully packed and ready to go. I can’t drop the trailer on to the truck yet, just because it’s so not level here I’d be rolling down the floor like a drunken sailor if I dropped it all the way, but I’m lined up, even chained up, just not dropped down yet. The tricky part will be getting out of the spot, because I can’t just turn straight onto the road because of a great tree next to me, so that will take a bit of doing, but I have several options, which I’m sure will work out. I want to get an early start because I have a long day of driving, and I want to get there early enough to do a couple of loads of laundry and to pack, though my flight isn’t until just before noon, so I’ll have a little time in the morning on Tuesday. So it’s been a fairly quiet day, though occasionally busy, and I’m going to bed early so I can get up early and dump before getting on the road. That’s the plan, anyway. Not much else to report today! Good night, darlin’! Love you!
