We left Perryopolis having an unsuccessful attempt at selling my books then drove for five hours to Georgetown, KY just outside of Lexington. This is the first RV camp site that is open year round so we decided to stay for two nights.
We camped last night for the first time and of course, we did everything that we said we wouldn’t do. We arrived in the dark with no food for dinner. Just as we were nearing the camp site and trying to listen to the GPS for directions, the rear view mirror falls off the window. It is hanging by a small wire so I needed to hold it in place so Mark can see behind us. He wasn’t too happy about that. Mark set up the electrical current to the camper wrong so he set off all the alarms. Fortunately, someone from the parrk was able to help us out.
Prior to getting to the camp we went to Walmart for dinner and breakfast supplies. Had to make a rush visit in our attempt to get to the camp site before dark. We didn’t make it ! Ended up have a salad for dinner.
There was a horrific wind and rain storm all night long. Winds were up to 50mph. I thought for sure the camper would be struck by lightning or blown over. We forgot to close the fan in the top of the van so we had water on the floor when we got up. We are learning fast how to adjust to camper van living.
The weather turned cold in the morning. Grey skies and a little more rain. There is nothing like a good cup of coffee in the morning to ward off the cold and the grouchies. We spent about two hours at the Chevy Service getting the mirror fixed. We think we have everything in order now. Well, maybe!
The Kentucky countryside is beautiful. Rolling green hills and horse farms go on forever.
Initiation by fire!
