Tuesday we were back at it, on the road again. We actually made it about 350 miles, almost the whole way across Tennessee when we stopped at a little place called the Bean Pot CG, in Crossville, TN. It was small, but the sites were pretty nice, off the highway with very little noise. It was a pretty uneventful ride, but we did see this neat looking castle along the highway, they should have to put up a sign as to what it is or who lives there. Anyway, a stay at home night, dinner on the grill and an early night to bed for us all.
Wednesday we headed out about 9:00 heading to Tom Johnson's in Marion, NC. We needed some parts for the Moho, sewer pipe, light for the water heater and one or two other small things, so we had another 2 night stay planned. Brad killed a little ant in the bathroom. Of course while we are there, we do need to check out the Moho's they have for sale. I couldn't believe it, but I found a Class 'C' we both liked, except for the fact that it's made by Thor...I just don't like Thor. The CG was about half full and it looked like they were having a small rally move in 'til we pulled out on Friday. But it was a nice place to park for a couple of days and again, nice not to move everyday.
We hit the road Friday, with two more nights until we have to get to Myrtle Beach we decided to get within about 100 miles and stay for 2 more nights and finish the trip Sunday morning. As we were packing up I saw an ant maybe two on the kitchen counter. Well just our luck, we get to the SC border I call the 3 military bases and all 3 of the CG are full. There is a state park on our way...no luck again, so we headed to Myrtle Beach KOA. KOA is having a special of stay Friday night and get Saturday night free, but they had room so we traveled over 300 miles again on Friday. What a nice place, big sites and lots of shade for the heat and humidity. What a ride, soon after hitting SC we hit the rain, some wasn't too bad, but then we hit the torrential stuff, 30-40 mph was the speed of the traffic, but we made it, a little wet around the edges, but we made it.
Saturday we had breakfast at the site, then headed out about noon, looking for the Ocean Lakes RV Resort (the RV Rally starts on Sunday at Ocean Lakes), then off to the grocery store for food and wine. Back home a lazy day, Brad did see three or four more ants. Dinner on the grill and a mad night of texting. Monique went into the hospital Saturday morning, due to complications that forced them to induce labor. Melanie jumped on a plane and almost made it before the baby was born, but was about 30 min too late. My last text finally came in about 3:00 AM, so needless to say, Sunday morning we are both tired and were very slow at packing to leave
Oh well, we only have about 10 miles to travel Sunday, so it should be a nice slow morning.... but then the rude awakening, Brad yells, get up there are ants on the kitchen counter, and leaves to walk Rudy, ha ha. What a mess, not only are they on the kitchen counter, but they are everywhere (I think they parked us on an ant mound), so the spraying and scrubbing and spraying and scrubbing ensued, for hours. We had to end that about 10:30 and get cleaned up and packed up to get out of the KOA by leaving time. We had to be out at noon and I think we pulled out of our spot at 12:05, what a morning. Down the road to the next RV Park, pull down our street and there sits a travel trailer in our spot, so I called Brad on the radio to let him know.....too bad he just parked in the middle of the street and got out to talk with Buddy and Theresa, while I call the RV Park to report the TT. Not a bad response, it is one of their rentals and they were here within 10 minutes to move the TT and we were able to pull into our spot. We pulled in get settled and the spraying for ants ensued again, but they are a little slower in showing up.....not much, but a little. Oh well, outside to visit with Buddy and Theresa then we head over to pick up our registration packet, signed up for the Medieval Dinner Show, then back to have a quick drink before dinner started. Back to the rec hall for a pretty cheesy dinner, a little meet and greet, then back home for more talking until we all headed in about 9:00.
Monday was a breakfast at 7:30, that Brad headed over for in between the down pours, while I stayed home, showered, did a load of laundry and cleaned up a little. A few more ants, some more scrubbing and then off to the rec hall to check out the vendors and door prizes.....not the greatest door prizes. We did find out that the pins to our tow bar had been recalled, so Brad headed back with the old ones and they gave him new ones to replace them while I swept and got my shower. After that we did a couple of walks with Rudy checking out just how large this place is then sat out side for a while to chat with anybody that walked by. After a while we headed over to visit with Buddy and Theresa when Clarence, Mary and Dave stopped in, so a dinner plan was made. We all met up at the little store here in the CG, then headed out to Murrell's Inlet looking for a restaurant for dinner. We stopped at the Wicked Tuna for dinner, good food, expensive but the food was delicious. We then headed out to the pier for a stroll, chatted for a while, then headed home. We got Rudy and headed out for a walk, running into Buddy, Theresa and Molly out for their evening stroll as well. Back home, Brad headed to bed while I did up the dishes, made coffee and attended to the rest of the nightly chores. Killed a few more ants.
