Home Again, Home Again
Last post for this trip, now known as Our Trip of Discovery. We are leaving the North Karick Lake campground, well as soon as Bruce investigates the big extension cord someone threw in the dumpster. About 300 miles left, back to today's forecast temperature of 93° that feels like 101°. Sweat City, here we come. Boy will this this take some getting used to. At least lizard skin is gone.
Cat's on the center console, Hazel is on her perch in back, looking out the window, we are the proud new owners of 100' of extension cord needing at least one new end, truck is full and all that is left is to pick up something quick for us. McD's here we come. I have to admit I am really looking forward to getting home to The Pig's breakfasts and my favorite wait staff. I have missed their cheery attitudes the last few months.
Trip has been very sucessful, just not as originally planned. Even with all the perceived issues, we can both say we enjoyed it. There were less than stellar moments, but on the whole we had a good time. In fact, we are already talking about another trip, maybe late summer, early fall to the NE, in The Beast and pulling the HHR for running around. Guess we will see.
We already have plans to go south for Thanksgiving staying at least until Christmas, first at Rainbow Springs and then on to Curry Hammock at Marathon Key. This is becoming an annual trip it seems, to enjoy sun, water, oysters and alcohol in December in the Keys. It's a hard life, but we continue to step up.
What's left? Clean up and no one wants to hear about that so until next time, later...
