Summerdale, Alabama and beyond

Looking back I see that we have not update for a while.

We moved on to Summerdale, Alabama to the Escapee park.

We would be Jim and Linda, and Jim and Bobbi. We were joined a few days later by Rich and Terri Deacon, who are old friends of Jim and Bobbi, and new friends to us, who we met in Campbellsville. The three couples of us will be traveling together for the next few months. We had a nice new year dinner. Jim fixed a standing rib roast that was superb and we had all the side dishes as well This last picture is of Rich, Terri, and Linda

Linda and I have been fighting with the flu that is going around. Mine started back in Campbellsville and Linda caught it from me. As of today, January 13th we are still fighting it. Linda had a major coughing spell about 3am this morning, and I still have the cough and a scratchy throat.

While at the SKP park I called Camping World rv store and asked about why I was blowing fuses on my bedroom slide. They told me that the motor might be going bad and to do a continuity check. I did and it checked bad. Went to the store and worked with their service people to order a new motor, which also included the gearbox using our extended warranty. It took 10 days to get in and we  had to take the trailer in to have the new motor installed per the extended warranty company. While it was in, they discovered that the motor was good, but the circuit board/dead stop relay was bad and that was why I was blowing fuses.

After much discussion, a new board was ordered, the old motor put back in and I bought a supply of fuses. The new board will be in in about a week and we will have to drive back the 75 miles to have it put in.

We were moving to a new location anyway so we just kept moving.

We are now at Shepard state park in Gautier, Mississippi and will be here for a week before moving on to another state park. Mississippi offers a $5 discount to seniors so two out of three of us will pay $13 a night. We hope to do some exploring while here and also to find some fresh seafood, after all we are on the Gulf of Mexico.

While at the SKP park in Summerdale, we visited the USS Alabama memorial park, and toured the battleship plus a WWII sub. I also  did some work on the Chapman’s trailer….check out their blog to see that and other highlights of our stay. The link is on the right side…Chappy trails.

The last two pictures are in the sub.

We are all sick and tired of the cold weather, but at least we will have a little sun for the next few days. But the nights will be down in the 20’s.

Drop us a line once in a while.

Love to all

Jim and Linda
