After much discussion and several compromises, we left town on Dec. 6 for our Winter Adventure. And it is starting out to be quite an adventure already.
It started a few days before leaving as we were loading up the RV. I left the door open while I was stowing clothes and thought I heard a noise. Then a few minutes later John came into the RV and while talking with me noticed a bird had flown in and was perched on a window ledge. After much shooing, flying and shouting, the bird knocked itself silly by flying into the windshield and I was able to capture and release the poor thing. Now the question is: Is a bird in the RV good or bad luck? We are thinking bad luck.
We picked up a new faucet for the kitchen sink in the RV and had it installed by the RV dealership the day we left home. We spent the night in Carthage and discovered that the faucet was too big for our sink so now the sink cover/cutting boards don't fit. No big deal, but a hassle. We took them to Lowe's and they cut them for us.
Saturday morning as we were pulling onto the highway we discovered the table was fully extended and would not stay stowed. So we returned to the RV dealership. But because their service department was closed, John had to figure out how to repair it himself. This put us on the road two hours behind schedule. The day was wet and dreary, not good for sightseeing. We drove to Hot Springs, AR to stay at the National Park and almost took a wrong turn going thru town. We took a walk after supper and got rained on. We didn't get much sleep due to thunder storms.
Not the best way to start a trip.
