Departure


First 9:00, then maybe noon. Perhaps 1:00 pm? How about 2:00? Its 1:45 now, and I can feel it. Definitely out of here by dark.

Our lovely trailer is officially broken in. I smashed our trash can against a kitchen cabinet while pulling in the slide. Both can and cabinet significantly damaged. And there is the yard. Unable to get out of our tight parking space I elected to drive across the turf to get pointed in the right direction. Bad idea! Three quarters of an inch of rain fell last night and the ground was the consistency of mashed potatoes. In four wheel drive and tires slinging mud all over the new travel trailer I barely made it back to pavement. Witness Bernie pointed out that if I had gotten stuck we could have easily pulled ourselves out with the bulldozer.
