Stone Mountain State Park, GA |
We extended our stay in Fredericksburg by about 9 days to complete all our doc appointments. Normally our appointments are "one and done". Not this time. Go to one appointment, get two more. Dentist..Doctors...didn't matter. We were finally finished November 5th, but needed to "recovery" before leaving last Thursday (Veterans Day). We took a day to get down to High Point, NC for the weekend. We left High Point Monday and took a couple of days to get down to Stone Mountain to visit Donna's bother and sister-in-law. So far, so good as we're building our "grip sheet" for next spring's trailer service.
As Donna isn't a candidate for knee surgery, next year's travel plans are "up-in-the-air". Other than we know trailer service dates, nothing is planned. It's a little late to try to find a summer volunteer position for next year, so it looks like we get to play. A quick check of Fantasy Tours (RV Caravan) for next year didn't turn up anything that we really wanted to do, or their planned trips were trips we had already done on our own. There may be a train trip out there, but that needs to be looked into a little further. Lots of options to consider. There's so much we haven't done.
Current plans are to move over to Birmingham Saturday and arrive in Gulf Shores November 28th. As always, that's the plan. Every time we stop with the trailer attached, I immediately look at the trailer to check & see if the slides are beginning to move out. That's happened the last two years as we headed east/south. If the slides move out, that's a major repair and puts us in hotels for weeks at a time. While in Indiana we had the bottom of the trailer removed and the hydraulic line positions checked to ensure things looked OK before leaving. We're keeping all our fingers crossed!
That gets you up to date with us. Thanks for dropping by and checking on us. We'll update once we're down at Gulf Shores. Until next time, David
