Visiting in Frost Proof

Friday 1 February, 2019

We managed to move, but it was anything but uneventful.  First off I started the engine and was bringing the slides in when Brad noticed the steps didn't retract.  A little work underneath the Moho,

then he just pulled the motor and we tied them up, and everybody close to us in the park were

Broken Steps

standing around watching us, but nobody helped.  We got that done and got Brad cleaned up then we headed down the road.  The ride it's self wasn't bad and we made it here about 2:00, checked in, got propane and headed to our site.  Well that's were the next fun started, as we were backing in, the mud flat and the hitch on the back of the Moho got hung up on the cement pad, so as we blocked the road, Brad pulled of the hitch and crawled under the Moho and removed the mud flap...needless to say we are a little frazzled by now.  We finally got parked and were getting things put together when Jen showed up for a look around, but there were no steps so she couldn't come in.  We are living with a stool at the step so we can get in and out without having to jump.  It was nice, we headed over to the Jen and Greg's for dinner (pulled pork sandwich with slaw and fries) and a beer or two, hung out until about 8:00 then headed home, we were both exhausted.

We got up and had a quick breakfast, a nice walk for Rudy then it's time to work on the steps.  Brad tested the motor and it seemed to work OK.  Back under the Moho where he checked all the wires and

Rudy enjoy the 

Florida Sunshine!!

they are connected as per the schematic, so he narrowed it down to the module, he thinks.  We had a quick bite of lunch then headed out to the local recommended repair shop.  Brad talked to the guy there to see if they could come out Monday to look at the steps, but he just laughed and said they are scheduling on site visits for the 19th, but if we stop in on our way out he would have time to look at the steps and probably get them working for us.  That just means Brad needs to remove the motor on Thursday and we are scheduled to be at the shop about 10:00 on Friday.  After that we did some running around looking for an in-line pressure regulator for the Moho, after about 4 stops no luck.  We finally headed back about 3:30, rescued Rudy and had another long walk, then back to Jen and Greg's for dinner, Hog-maw sausage, slaw and chips, a nice evening.

Had a quick breakfast and did a load of laundry to hang at Jen and Greg's.  Then  Jen and I headed up to the grocery store while Brad and Greg worked on straightening out the mud flap.  It took Jen and I about 2 hours until we headed back found the boys were still sitting at the Moho chatting.  We all put our stuff away, took Rudy for a long walk then headed over to the Folks for dinner...a salad with grilled chicken....yum.  Not much happening today, but things got done.

A quick breakfast, another load of laundry to hang out, then off Brad and I go.  First to the Fedex building to mail a package, the ABC (liquor) store then off to lunch.  At this time Brad realized he left his glasses at the ABC store so back there after lunch.  We hit the Publix grocery store but our wine wasn't in so we headed home via a couple of Mobile home/Moho parks, a stop at the local Ace Hardware store, where we ran into Greg, a stop at another Campground and then home.  That whole trip took us about 5 hours, but we had a nice time and Rudy was happy to see us when we got home. Brad had a quick shower then we headed to the Folks for a dinner of Haddock and Veggies....delicious..

Cereal for breakfast, showers for us both, a long walk for Rudy then off we head.  We get to Jen and  

Greg's about 11:30 and head out to the Goodson Farms Strawberry Market.  It was Cuban's for lunch and Strawberry Shortcake for dessert, both were delicious and very filling. Next we headed over to the Big Bend Power Station in Apollo Beach to visit the 'Tampa Electric's Manatee Viewing Center'. What a great place, there must have been 100 Manatee's.  There were a couple of hiking trails, but we got there to late to be able to do the hikes, but we were on the platform for about an hour watching the Manatee's.  We headed home about 3:30, rescued the dogs then headed back to the Folk's about 6:00, with a bottle of wine in hand.  We were all still stuffed from lunch so we settled on snacks for dinner cheese, bologna and crackers.  We hung out until about 8:30 then headed home.

A quick breakfast, two loads of laundry done, then off to Avon Park to get parts to rehang the mud flap. We did our shopping for parts then stopped at Winn Dixie to get wine (it was still on sale with a stop at Publix for money. We were headed home when we decided to take 17, the scenic route, back to the CG. What a pretty ride. After we get home, Brad and I attached the parts he got to the mud flap then waited for Greg to come down to help hang it, another job done. I got the laundry all folded and put away then we headed to the Folks for a Taco salad for dinner, yum. We hung out until about 9:00 then headed home.

Another load of laundry to hang out and off we go for lunch.  We stopped at the fruit stand for a pineapple then headed to the Farm to Fork restaurant.  Their Cuban sandwiches were delicious, made with real beef and , no lunch meat on this one.  We did a little walk around Frost Proof then took

Orange Country!!

Route 17 up to Lake Wales, we rode through orange country.   A stop at Kohl's for 2 tee shirts, then to Publix's to grocery shop for stuff for the next week.  We headed back home, put the food away then I went on a cleaning frenzy inside while Brad worked on cleaning up the out side.  We got finished with that then Brad cleaned up and we headed over to Jen and Greg's for out last meal of hot dogs, cole slaw and a goody bag that they sent along.  We had a nice visit then headed home about 8:00 so we could pack up some of the inside things and get ready for our move tomorrow.
