Florida Trip 2010-Day 2

We are settled in at Van Hoy Family Campground in NC. We got here about 5:15 and did a self check-in. There were plenty of good sites available, but I think that they have more RVs here than when we stopped last year.

It was cold all day today, especially in the WV mountains. We are not doing either water or sewer hook-ups yet because of the low temps overnight. Maybe we can use full hook-ups in Georgia tomorrow night. The furnace and our ceramic heaters are keeping us warm in the motorhome. Our only snag today was a small one. When we were ready to leave the Marietta Super WalMart, I tried to lower the TV antenna. It wouldn't rotate so that I could crank it down into the traveling position. I guess the rain that we got last night froze in the base of the antenna. We tried to thaw it from the inside using Sue's hair dryer. No luck, so I got out the ladder and used the hair dryer on it from the outside. It only took about 30 seconds to free it up and we were on our way. It just proves that old traveler's proverb, "Never go camping without a hair dryer."

We had quesadillas for dinner tonight. It was the first time we used the quesadilla maker that we got at the charity auction earlier this month. They turned out very well, especially for our first attempt. We should have fun this winter experimenting with different ingredients.

On to Rincon, Georgia tomorrow.
