Water in/water out. It’s one of the required chores when having an RV. As with most campers, Addie’s gray and black water tank gauges often don’t depict reality. What I’ve learned is to fill my fresh tanks and empty my gray and black tanks at the same time. This Elks lodge’s camping facility is GREAT! Level spaces, electricity, water, and – surprise! – reliable WiFi. However, there is no dump. This morning, I filled Addie’s fresh water tanks and drove all of two miles to Camping World to dump, waiting only a few minutes while another RV which had been camping at the Elks finished emptying their tanks.
With those chores done, I went to Lauren and Danny’s house to see their beautiful home, pet their sweet pups, and take a hot shower. 🙂
Next, I visited my friend Kate and her partner Chris, meeting her mom, dad, and aunt and his dad. They are having a wee one in October; the baby shower is tomorrow!
Returning to Addie, it was nap time! A big thunderstorm – rain, thunder, and lightening – woke me up during the night, so my afternoon nap felt so good.
Feeling revived, I told Addie to behave herself and hopped onto my bike to ride on some local trails. With temperatures in the 90s, I appreciated the breeze I felt while biking, something I don’t get when hiking.
