08-22-08 Friday (Maps and naps)

It was a freakin' rain day again. We did pretty much nothing. Jim affixed the "states we visited" map on the side of the RV. Looks pretty empty. Florida and Georgia is all so far. We figured we'd just fill in the states that the RV has been to although we may have been there in the past.

Since the blog has been uneventful lately, Jim has reminded me of something humorous that I left out when we first arrived here. Prior to backing the RV into the site, we disconnected the Cherokee. I stood at the site to direct Jim. He didn't move the RV and finally screams out that it won't move out of park. He's panicked, I'm slightly panicked. I eventually scream out, "is the engine running?" The engine was not running. Whoops. Since the generator was running, it's kinda hard to hear the engine independently.

Jim napped, I played video games. I took Dasher for a walk where he managed to come face to face with an armadillo. I didn't see it in the deeper grass but apparently, Dasher did. I yanked him back, reeled him in, BUT then the armadillo ran 2-3 feet toward him so I dragged the dog away, by running in the opposite direction. The dog managed to snap at the armadillo but didn't get a hold of him. A few sites away, Dasher found another he wanted to "play" with. I didn't let him come too close. There's some huge coy and turtles in the lake here. The coy come right to the surface of the water at the foot bridge and beg for food. I thought about taking Dasher to see them but he'd probably try to dive in. Maybe another day when it's NOT raining.

Shortly before 11pm, we shit, showered and shaved. We DROVE (too muddy) up to the on-site dance club. It's supposed to be open but it was NOT. So back down the hill to the RV we went. We surfed the Internet, played video games and then the power went out between 12-1am. It tried to come back on but not quite. It was pitch-black outside. The lighting in the coach is 12V so it stays on.I played a video game on laptop battery power. We decided not to start the generator since it was only 72 degrees but it was starting to get warm in here so we opened the windows. My laptop battery died, we sat in the screen room for a while and decided to go to bed. The power outage was for about an hour. The power finally came back on, off to bed we went.

Here's what the campground looks like. I snapped a photo of the map:
