Almost over!!

Wednesday 2 Sept.   I hate to say it but we had to get out our flannels(well I did) and sweatshirts as the temperatures dipped into the low 50's this morning.   We headed into town to get and return things for our departure.  First was Wal-Mart, then Lowes, Lunch at a Greek diner, seven eleven for cash, Home Depot, then Rite-aid, Wine store, and finally grocery store.  It took us almost 5 hour until we were back,  I can't believe it takes so long to do so little.  It sure is nice having the new refrigerator we bought some family packages of meat and vacuum packed it smaller bags.  Burgers and fixing for diner.

Thursday 3 Sept.   Back on duty today but not much activity we had only four check outs and six check ins.  Not to waste our time we are cleaning packing and reorganizing for our trip.  We removed the  foil reflector from the windshield today only of find two month's of dirt and cobwebs.  Diane cleaned for over an hour yet some will have to wait until we get rid of the county's computer and associated equipment covering the dash.  And just as we were discussing our first stop on the way back.  Diane's phone rings and they now re-changed there undecided not quite sure minds and are desperate for her to work on Sat. and Sun.   So now she has another next to last and last day of work to look forward to.

No Water left in from of us.....how sad

Friday 4 Sept.  The lake is still being drained at almost a foot per day.  The water is now so far away from the camper that we can't  float in the water and yell for another beer.  So I deflated all the tubes and loaded them in the car to take to Shari's, then Diane called Shari and she didn't hve room for them, so I re-inflated them all and put them out for a mini moving sale.  We were expecting to be very busy today, but as it turned out it was a fairly calm and slow day.  We had a tri-tip roast in the crock pot for dinner, YUM YUM. 

Moving Sale, No Takers!

We gave the stuff away!!

Saturday 5 Sept.  Diane is off to her second next to last day of work. This morning she wasn't sure why she agreed to work two more days.  I am handling the camp ground easy today with no check ins or check outs.  Had only one action all day.  We have had a few rain shower over the last few days but I am still watering the road at least once a day.  The low humidity just dries the road as soon as the showers pass.  Spent the rest of the morning cleaning and rearranging street side storage bins and under the bed storage.  Diane finally arrived home at 2:30 and was exhausted,  A small snack and a short nap and she was as good as new.  We decided hot dogs over the fire since we had that afternoon snack.  She put the dogs out to thaw and I started the fire and just as we were ready to start cooking a customer show up with a long story about her site.  We called the rangers to come figure it out and Rudy was going crazy with all the people here so we had to put him inside.  It took about 20 minutes  to get everything straightened out and amazingly Rudy was being quiet.   Once they all left I brought Rudy out and Diane went to get the hot dogs.  She yells out and asked if I put two back in the freezer, we pause,  I head to the camper and Rudy won't move.  I had to drag him over he didn't stand up until I got to the steps.  You can guess the rest of story under the table Diane finds the remain of two hot dogs.  By now Rudy in coward down hiding behind Diane's, ears back flat with the 'I just couldn't help myself' look.  I tried to scold him but Diane is laughing to hard.  Now we know why he was so quiet when we put him inside.

Rudy now has his own
chair and is loving it!

Sunday 6 Sept.   Diane's last day of work again (this time she means it).  I'm holding down the campground while washing the front of the motorhome.  Again not much action everyone is staying another night getting ready for Labor Day.  A lot of people asking why they are draining the lake so fast.....nobody knows the answer but the level keeps dropping 10 inches a day.  Diane came home around 3:30 we made a trip around the park said goodbye to a few of the regulars that we got to know.   Back to the camper, happy hour with ourselves(boo-who) and just sat by the fire for awhile.

Brad, Diane and Rudy
