Hi Babe,
Woke up ten minutes before the 7:00 alarm went off, didn’t rush but even with having to hook up the truck, I was on the road be 8:10. Ninety minutes later I was at Lake Otsego State Park to dump and top off with water in the RV, got slightly delayed going over the Mackinaw Bridge between the Lower and Upper Peninsulas of Michigan due to maintenance, stopped for fuel in Newberry, and still made it to HQ by 2:00. Just barely missed hitting a bunch of rain, the stop at the dump was perfect timing! Some of the roads still had puddles, but I missed all the rain, thank goodness! By 3:15, I was all set up, with my carpet down, Flash all set up, the awning out, the trailer level, grill out… only problem is, I have ZERO cell phone signal here. Not even enough to make a phone call, darn it! I was hoping to get my health insurance squared away today, but that’s obviously not going to happen! I was also hoping I would have to disconnect, but it looks like I’ll have to go hunting for a signal tomorrow or Friday. I did create a GPS track to the lake, it’s going to be over 23 miles round trip. There was a time when I thought that would be a really long day, but after all the miles we did last month, 23 miles is going to be a piece of cake! Especially since I’m figuring on having lunch on the beach, maybe even take off Flash’s saddle for a swim! We’ll see, depends on the waves. Anyway, I’m settled in for the evening, covered with Off! (the mosquitoes are hungry here). I did have a few problems maneuvering around the campground, there are some tight turns and I had to back up and take a couple of runs at it to get in place, but ended up in a big pull-through on a corner with a pretty good exit route. I was hoping to get into one of the sites that backed up to a little lake, but just didn’t have the room. I was almost tempted to stay up in the day parking area, it’s wide open, but it’s not very pretty and right on the road, so I think I’ve done all right. I’ve hooked up my Dish PVR, looks like old movies and Kindle books for the duration! Good night, my darlin’! Love you!
