2021/06/24 - Thursday - Vacation - Day 07 - Made it to Mississippi

 We left close to 9:30 today.

Next stop is for the necessary gas.

We had time, so we stopped at Vicksburg National Military Park.  We drove most of the grounds with the RV and trailer.  We did not do all the grounds, we ran out of time and A needed to be able to turn her paperwork in to get her JR badge.

We made it to Lindeaire RV Park and setup camp under the trees.  But what a dump.  I would not recommend this park to anybody. My 30 amp connection was not grounded, and I had to park so I would not get stuck in the mud.  They had several modular homes that were totally run down falling apart with no windows or doors.

We headed out to dinner - Aladdin Mediterranean Grill.  We stopped at Joann Fabrics to do some shopping.

Back to the RV to relax.

2019/07/11 - Thursday - Vacation - Day 21 - HOT - Rain - Wind

We got start a little late, but I need to stop by the office to pay the bill.  We got on the road about 19 minutes after 9.

Our first stop was just two exits up for the necessary gas for the RV at a Flying J's

At about noon, I stopped at a over look.  The generator keeps stopping, so I checked the oil level and it was fine.  So must be hot.

In El Paso, we stopped at Chamizal National Memorial Park and Grounds.  Amanda was able to get another JR Ranger badge.  The walk from the parking lot to the visitor center was a killer for my back...

 We stopped at a Flying J's for more gas.  C.M. was trying to pay for things and they were having all sorts of problems, but they finally got it squared away.

We did hit rain heading to our stop for the night.  I also had to reduce my speed to 55 to keep my tires from reaching 177.  (The highest that I seen on it was 176).

We are at Little Vineyard RV Resort for the night.

We unloaded the van and headed into town to go eat.  While we were eating at Marie's Italian Grill, the wind picked up and we were having a dust storm.  The last time we were in this town it was because of a dust storm, I don't about our luck.

Back at the RV park, Mom M and I went and had some Ice Cream at their Ice Cream social they were having

C.M. finished up the laundry and now relaxing in the RV and once in a while we hear the wind or a little bit of rain.

2018/06/26 - Tuesday - Vacation - Day 05 - Outpost and No Dirt Road

We got moving early.  We left at 8:17.  Our first stop was at the local Post Office to mail off the necessary paperwork for this last weekend (Waze Receipts).  We had to circle the block to finally find a place for me to park.

Next stop was a short drive out of town to Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site we spent almost 2 hours there exploring the place.

Next stop was going to be at  Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site Colorado but it is down a 7 mile gravel road and I did not want to take the RV with the Car in tow and having all those flying rocks, so we continued on and stopped at the next town.  We parked near the post office and we had lunch.

Stopped for gas

We stopped for the night and Amanda made dinner.  After dinner I did a 6.2 mile bike ride (did some loops around the area).

Mom M and I walked to Sonic to have a milkshake.  On the walk back the end of town power went out.  And half hour later we still do not have power.

2011/05/05 - Thursday - Solar

We had an appointment to see if it would be cost effective for us to get a solar system installed on the house.  Well we did it - we signed the paperwork and we will be getting a solar system installed.  We put no money down, but we have two loans, the first one will get paid back in 18 months, the other loan will be a 10 year loan.

The other thing I get is a new power panel (bigger) so I can start working on upgrading the power in the house and later hopefully install a RV power hookup.

We now need to schedule the install, but hopefully it will be installed before the end of June...

Well I sure hope it pans out the way the numbers look for us!
