Suddenly ...

Well, I have heard that plans are something that makes God laugh! He must have  ... had several good snickers over our plans Sunday morning. Our plan was to spend Sunday putting that last few things into Timmber Wolf and getting everything all squared away for departure early Monday morning.

Twas not to be ... on Saturday afternoon we turned on  the refrigerator so that it would be cold for putting stuff in it Sunday. That evening the freezer section was icy cold but the lower refrigerator section was not but we figured it was bigger and had a bunch of that stuff in that was refrigerate AFTER opening so we just figured it would take longer. Silly us!

Sunday morning and it was still not cold in the refrigerator section and a second little light had come on above it that simply says "check" although no where in the manual does it say what to do about that stupid light although I finally found on the troubleshooting page that if it doesn't get cold enough it might be that it isn't level! Well, our driveway has a small slope to it and we knew that Wolf was not level. Since it was the ONLY thing we could think of decided to load up as quickly as possible and head on out figuring that if it fixed the problem by running level fine, if not we would have time on Monday to stop somewhere that could help. This basically meant dumping a bunch of stuff on board taking time only to put it where it wouldn't become a flying object during travel. Freezer stuff was put in the freezer and refrigerator stuff was put in the frig accompanied by several of those frozen ice thingies to help keep it cooler in there.

By about 10AM we were off! That second light stayed on though and was still sitting there staring at us when we decided to stop for lunch (at a Captain D's - seafood in a fast food fashion). I figured let's just shut the frig off completely for the 20 minutes or so we'll be having lunch and see what happens when we restart it after ... BINGO, no check light!

On the way we called our Monday night destination to be sure they had room for us Sunday night so here we are at New Green Acres RV Park in Walterboro, South Carolina, arriving about 4PM. Then came the great debate, continue on north on Monday splitting the next section into two easier parts or stay for the day and spend it organizing and sorting out things and making no significant changes in the rest of the plans ... we opted for the latter and as soon as I wake up a little more we'll be sorting things out.

Besides it's a pretty place here, mostly quiet but very near I95 which one can hear slightly in the background, more like wind in the trees. Hmmm, down time right at the beginning of the trip!

Oh ... we did have time back on Friday to add our sign to the back of the Wolf. Now everyone will know who it is and where we are from. PS: if you look carefully at the right edge of the image you can see Geoff's reflection as he takes the shot.
