The Park Ranger woke us up at 8:30. Because we couldn’t locate the Camp Host or figure out where to pay, we decided to wait until today. Well, he wanted to make sure we paid!
After he left, maintenance men started to work. They could have gone anywhere in the whole park but nooooooo! They had to come right beside our trailer to start. Leaving their truck running, they were making water retaining rings with dirt around the trees. Then there was the trash collector. What happened to the peace and quiet and solitude?
During the drive down, we were having trouble with the door staying shut. As the trailer flexed, it would pop open. We used a bungee cord to keep it closed during travel. Thomas’ brother, Steve, came by at his lunch break with a dremel tool so that they could drill out part of the door frame. Hopefully this will work! But we won’t know until we are on the road again.
The new solar system did great in running the tool. This will be our first trip with the solar and we will have to test it out to see how well it works. We don’t understand the screen on the Charge Controller and can’t tell how much battery we have left or if the batteries are fully charged. Maybe when we get into Yuma, Arizona and meet up with some other boondockers, they will be able to help us translate the readings.
This afternoon was the mandatory trip to Wal-Mart for the few things we forgot or needed.
Jamie (Thomas’ niece) and her girlfriend came by to visit with us. Jamie is working as a mechanic rebuilding small airplane engines and her girlfriend, Christine, is a nurse. They are actually the first people we have entertained in our trailer!
