Fredericksburg Update

Doc appointments continue.  So far, so good.  Donna's been reconnecting with everyone. We've eaten out way too much, and we've abused Beth & Frank as a hotel and shipping & receiving warehouse.  We'll probably continue to do that! Tomorrow the truck gets detailed.  Saturday we get the trailer hand washed & waxed.   That should take care of all mechanical servicing requirements until we get down to Atlanta.

One thing that has changed is we're walking more of the Spotsylvania Courthouse Battlefield (Bloody Angle) trails than the Fredericksburg Battlefield trails we've walked in previous visits.  It's a nice change of pace and a nice place to ride bikes.   Not as much traffic in that area, too.

One last item of note:  We've got a real nice American Eagle 45 foot motorhome setting next to us.  Haven't been able to talk to the gentleman staying in it, yet, but he's getting lots of visits from people and he & his dog are getting out for walks (unfortunately I see him just as they're getting back from walks or whatever travels they've made).  Don't know what model year the motorhome is, but it looks new.  My interest is that he's in probably one of the worst sites this KOA has to offer.  His best view is to the back, but he has a solid rear cap so he can't take advantage of that.  His main windows are on the opposite side of us, so he's looking directly at the block wall of the activity room.  The site isn't long enough to fit his motorhome and his "toad" (a chevy Tahoe).  He's doing us a favor by blocking the street night light from one of our bedroom windows, though.  I just don't know why anyone with that type of an expensive unit would pick that spot.

Now you may wonder or at least are confused as to why I write so much about that motorhome.  Well, when Donna and I first started thinking that being a full time RVer might make a good retirement lifestyle, the "dream" RV was an American Dream (a lower cost version of an American Eagle).  And as I look at the one sitting next to us, it's clear that having a big box trailer with a corvette riding inside following an American Dream would have made a really nice full time RV rig!  Just like our Mobile Suites, it wouldn't have fit in Yosemite Valley, either, but...
