We hit the road again last Tuesday, leaving Mississippi - -
,on our way to Ohio and the doctors.
We spent our first night in the lot at Walmart in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. We called Gary's second cousin who we met our first year out on the road hoping to see them for a little while. They answered the phone, but they were in Nashville!! Debbie plays Blues and must have had an engagement to play there. Guess we will have to make it next trip through.
Now getting into the mountains, going through Tennessee.
We got clear through Louisville, Kentucky and stopped at Belterra Casino.
That was just five miles north of Interstate 75, actually in Indiana. Nothing like a little playing to relax after a long drive. We actually walked out with all of our money intact, but not difficult when you are only playing with a penny at a time!!
We arrived at Walmart in Alliance, Ohio about 3 pm that afternoon, guess that was because we had left Kentucky at 6:30 am. We called Timashamie Campground to ask if it was dry enough for us to get in there. They told us that they had some gravel spots that would be good. Famous last words!!!
We stopped and filled up our gas tank before leaving Alliance and then checked in at Timashamie.
Checked in, I should say mired in!!
We arrived - - - but the mud under what little gravel was there, got to us!!! When he began to spin and make a deeper rut, Gary stopped and we stayed right there for a couple nights!! With hopes that it would dry enough to get out without being pulled.
Gary was so concerned of damage to the motorhome if we had to be towed!!
Yesterday, Sunday, after church and a wonderful class time with all of our friends, we went to dinner with our oldest son, Victor, at Salem Hills. Vic, Thanks for dinner!! It was a great reunion!! And while there we ran into a former neighbor, Joan Lora, and friends, Tim and Carolyn, who we had last seen in February in Florida, as well as the manager there. Wonderful to see you all again!!
Then it was time to get down to business. The beautiful day turned out to be dry enough that when the owner of the campground used a tow strap from his backhoe to our hitch on the motorhome , it was enough nudge for Gary to back out. Thank goodness!!
We are on a new lot and because of the slope, we are high off the ground in front. The mud sure won't get to us here!! Once the owner gets the grass seed planted on the bare spots around and it dries out a little more, we will put out our ground cover and make our Ohio/Florida room under the awning. Then we will feel at home. We can have the lawn chairs and lounges out and enjoy the warm weather??? I am sure it will come soon.
Today was the first doctor appointment, and tomorrow is one in Cleveland. So will see what my road ahead is to be.
We stopped in the bank and found two employees that I had worked with before. And then on to our second son's to get our grandson, Richie, when he got off the bus. We stopped at Wendy's to eat, then to the Library so that he could do some homework, and finally took him to his Boy Scout meeting. On home now and his mom can take over from there.
We look forward to meeting up with more friends. In fact, I ran into a classmate from 50 years ago at the doctor's office. Never know when we see someone we know.
Will share more with you later. Take care.
