We got back from Estes Park safely. We had intended on camping at Fall Lake in northern Minnesota, but the forecast was for lots of rain and cold. We instead decided to camp near home with the motorhome, trying out the new doodads Kevin has been installing. It let us know what we didn’t have in the coach which is handy when you are heading out for 7 or 8 weeks. We were able to have most of the kids and all the grandkids out for dinner one night. Luckily there was a small playground since the coach is pretty small for 9 people! It was about the only night we didn’t have rain.
The weather has been terrible. It has rained, and rained, and rained. We actually had the wettest month on record, and we still have days left! Not just the wettest September, but the wettest ever. This is NOT the way the river is supposed to look in September. I bet the farmers will be using an awful lot of propane to dry the corn this fall.
We even got a backsplash installed in the house. I am quite pleased with the look even though the grout needs re-done some. That will be finished tomorrow. Kevin and Nick adjusted the electrical boxes to get that nice, even look.
Even though we are leaving tomorrow, there is still one more thing Kevin intended on finishing, a portable water softener. We are just going to take it with us, and he can work on it later. Everything else got done: solar, solar controller, electrical monitoring system, battery monitoring system, cell phone booster, dash cam, and a new satellite antenna. We definitely don’t “camp” with all this stuff! It is nice for “living” though.
Tomorrow we pack up and head to Red Bay, AL for some warranty work. We will probably spend the first night in the Walmart at Hannibal, MO.
