We went to church this morning and planned to leave after the service which normally ends at 11:00 am. After getting home, eating lunch, walking Max, and carting everything edible from the house to the bus, we pulled away from the house right on time, around 3:00 pm. I drove non-stop to Armitage County Park in Coburg, our first camp ground on this trip. without running into anything, and I didn’t run off the road even one time. Came close once or twice, but managed to keep at least 3 wheels between the white lines.

Yes, 3 is the correct number. There are two wheels on each side in the back and the single wheels on each side up front makes 3 to a side. Using a little imagination you could say I could have been way out of bounds and still have 3 wheels between the white lines, and you’d be correct. But, my wanderings were not extreme at all. Maybe a foot or so, at most.

Diane snagged us the 1st pull through after entering the park so I didn’t have to navigate deep into the park looking for it. We’re in space #2. We’ve been here a few times before so it wasn’t a mystery like some camp grounds are.

I immediately dropped the jacks and plugged us in so Diane could get the slides out. Then I hooked up the water. Necessary for flushing the toilet since I didn’t fill the fresh water tank at home. Lastly, I made several failed attempts to activate our Dish. Turns out that space #2 in this park is probably the only one that does not have a southern exposure which is necessary for the Dish to function properly. So, I fiddled around with the setup for a while and managed to get some decent channels on the antenna we have. Nice picture but we were both so tired it didn’t really matter if the TV worked or not.

Oh, ya! Somewhere in there we heated up a few pieces of meatloaf Diane made and had a little dinner. Diane used her meager portion in half a sandwich and I just ate mine with a mess of ketchup and a couple of pieces of non-nutritional white bread. My cardiologist said white bread is OK. It’s his favorite, too.

This camp ground has a nice dog park where puppies can run willy nilly in a safe environment. Max loves dog parks. I had a nice chat with some of the folks who brought their dogs to run. It wasn’t long before Max found out who barked the most and messed with them on purpose. They were two tiny chihauhuas that were sitting in their owners laps. Noisy little critters and not friendly at all.

Now it’s it’s almost 9:30 pm and time for bed. Tomorrow we’ll be plugging in at Valley of the Rogue State Park near Grants Pass. It’s another 2-3 hour drive but will be much easier because I won’t be making 30-40 trips from the house to the RV before we leave. Yes, we’re packing a lot of stuff. Fortunately, we don’t unpack at every stop.

See you tomorrow.
