Travel Days Soon Over

Travel Days Soon Over

Saturday May 14, 2022

Jim wanted to leave by 9 am. He was up first, of course. We left by 930 am.

We drove for a  few hours. First stop Virginia Welcome Center Rest Area. Just quick stop.

We called Lee Hi Travel Center they were full. Called 2 or 3 more CG. NO full too. We can boondock tonight. 

So by now we also had gone through on and off quick heavy rain showers. The rest of the day. We would drive in and out of it. You could see it ahead of you. Not to bad was quick ones. Cleans windows too.

Trying to find fuel with the Garmin. Wanted Flying J. 

Only found Pilot had to go through turning circle. Went out wrong  end had to U turn. Was small place at least we fit. But sign said One 9, not Pilot.

He filled up, and figured out where we were going. Had Lee Hi in Garmin, that's not going to work. I went in Paid and got Subway Subs quick. Off again we went.

Later saw a sign for another CG called quick, asked if they had room,..... crap just passed exit. She said maybe will fit for 43 foot, let me ask. We could turn around. Oh how far do your landing legs hang down. OMG, that's OK. Thanks,  never mind.

We can boondock.. 

I just felt we should come here.

Then we finally pulled into the Walmart about 3:30 in Staunton Virginia. It looked a little different than last time. Busier and more stores around it. A Lowe's next door. 

There was 1 MH here already. We pulled in behind him in the middle of the lot. We went in to ask about staying the night. She smiled said YES, no problem. 

Then we came out to move along the edge. He pulled in a few cars sort of in the way. But we got parked.  

I suggested we put Genny on before we put the legs  down and the two back slides out. He put boards down to drive on to level it better.  

 

AND I saw the this TIRE. I said come here a second. I have to show you something. 

He said we'll guess we are changing a tire. 

He started doing that after Genny was on, Batteries were at 60 %. 

I tryed to help where I could. Things definitely are alot harder for him to do lately. At least he didn't have hair hanging in his face. LOL

That took awhile, but then found this mess.

I was going to ask him what the white stuff was out the back "trunk" cabinet. Was salt for the water softener spilled was all over. I tryed to clean up as best I could. Have to vacuum it later.

After he finished he put stuff away. And we had another heavy rain shower. Was a little hot inside. Had to shut door for a bit. I wanted to go shop. Wanted to get some premade food. Was 6 by now. We watched a little news. So I decided to make boneless pork chops I had out, just bought the other day. And some instant mashed pots and pan gravy. So after we ate, I said go shower and I'm going in store to shop. 

I looked at everything and I only got a new shower curtain, brownie brittle, 1 yogurt. Breakfast sausage and coffee filters. Then I  checked out and went in bathroom and washed my face. I took a wash cloth and MK cleanser in with me. We didn't have alot of water, and he just showed and I will have a few dishes later.

When I came out a few more RV'S were here. About 6 total I think. 

The genny is taking forever to charge. 

We chilled a bit. I took a super quick shower too.Was almost 10 pm by now. Genny is  80 % now. We unplugged a few more things. Unplugged the freezer out front. He turned it off and went to bed. Cooling off now. Store closes at 11, hope it's quite  then..

Sure glad we stopped here when we did
