After spending a lovely evening with Sarah and Andy, I slept well in Addie, which was parked in their cul de sac. Then I drove through Napa, stopped and walked in Calistoga, and arrived at my campsite in Clear Lake.

Clear Lake…not very clear…lots of algae, toxic to touch…hot here. Explored the campground, rolled out my awning, sat and read my book (The Four Winds). Salad with shrimp on it for dinner… All good until I went to close my awning. The brackets holding the awning are pulling away from my vehicle. I kept trying to close it, and it wouldn’t close due to the awning’s angle. While trying to close it, I was stung three times by bees! I walked over to a nearby campsite and asked for help. Two wonderful people came over and helped hold the awning up so it was angled properly and I could close it. There’s an RV repair shop 20 miles from here, which Google says will be open on Saturday. Given the holiday weekend, I don’t know if they’ll be open…I’m hoping the awning doesn’t fall completely off while I drive to the shop…. My camper van is named Addie, short for adventure…
