Been awhile. Not much has happened as we are camped at the Thousand Trails park in Advance, NC. It has been really hot with some days as high as 105. Needless to say we don't do much when it is that hot.

The 4th here was a really busy day! We went to a magician show and the guy was really good. Then there was a watermelon eating contest, a seed spitting contest, a hot dog eating contest, a golf cart parade (some carts were really beautiful), a concert, movie and fireworks! The park was really full and all had a great time.

We had 2 trips to WalMart (there is one north of us and one south, both super stores).

All continues to operate good. We did have the storm that left so many folks without power go through here. We had our awning in but our neighbor did not and he spent the next day repairing it. We got a call from our friend Wayne Cassada and he said the storm really had his RV rocking. If you know Wayne you know how he anchors his awning. He said the storm stretched his tie down spring and broke 2 arms. Also, if you know Wayne, he will have it all repaired and better than new when he is done. He said he will never leave his awning out overnight again. As you know, there are still about a million  people without power. It was a really bad storm. We were lucky it went mostly north of us. We do watch for storms all the time.

We are about ready to head on to Ohio for our reunion.
