Resting, March 1st

-
Rosie and the Colorado got baths today. Parked under a pear tree in bloom it shows the contrast between here and home as far as environment goes. One more down the road and the last of the repairs will be completed. A relief. We will be leaving Rosie here for a few days as we take a two hour ride to the beach. A couple days there should be restorative and then we'll return. Some time after next Friday we'll saddle up and trek on. What a fun way to travel. No worries 😊
Oh my, I just discovered all your comments! Thank you.

Thursday, Day 4

Landed in Maryland beside the Potomac River within spitting disdance of West Virginia. at Fort Frederick SP. They got 8" of snow last night so all the sites were not available but they put us in the parking lot! We're here alone listening to the trains pass by. This morning I filled the water tank only to discover it really wasn't full. Did some research and have a view leads on where I can try that again.    During our research I saw the town of Falling Water and that reminded me of Frank Lloyd Wright. We got all excited when we learned it was West of us and it was a short day drive from where we are. 🙄 Doesn't open until March 9th. Boogers!    So now well journey into VA to buy replacement propane hoses to replace the ones I bought this morning which had the wrong size fitting, and to find a replacement for the window latch which turned up missing somehow. Presently duct tape is holding the window closed.    This is a fun way to travel because we can ...

Still Movin' In Barboursville, WV. Temp is 38 heading down into the 20s.  The last two nights were a challenge at a county campground that was wet from rain and snow melt. No cell connection made posting impossible and we have a growing list of little repairs that require attention.    The first is the latching mechanism on the exit window that was designed to hold the awning style window open. It is , quite  simply, gone. Duct tape is the new latch. Next up is a small plumbing leak (Actually there are no small leaks are there?) in a gate valve near the water heater. Low temps are to blame for this one. A strap on the extension mirror failed from rubber fatigue and a buckle on the battery box strap has also failed. Minor in isolation, irritants as a group, they need fixing so Rosie can smile again.    Last night the campground lost electricity in a wind storm so there was no hot water for showers, nor lighting in the restrooms. That sponsore...

Friday 2/22: Still at Fort Frederick. This fort was built in the 1700s to protect the western border as the native Americans were not happy to see their land invaded. It was built of stone (see below) which was unusual and may be the reason it was never attacked. The fort was used during the Civil War also. Now the state owns it and it is shared with agricultural uses. There are several places with bee hives, and small environments for Monarch butterflies. I saw my first sycamore tree and look what else I saw This was a pleasant surprise. We're moving further south today as some lousy weather is approaching and maybe south will look better. Thanks for tuning in!
