The alarm goes off at 4:00 am and it was not hard to get up and get it moving. We are so excited to be on our way. Since we were almost completely ready last night it didn't take us long to pack up the fridge and freezer foods, make a boatload of coffee and pack up the kitties. Trying not to wake the neighbors we hitched up the truck in the Aldi's parking lot. We were on the road by 5:30. The weather was great and we beat the traffic getting away from DC. Check-in is at 1:00 pm and we had a 4 1/2 hour drive. We planned on using up some time stopping at a rest area halfway to install our new Snap Pads on our jack feet. That went unbelievably well and our timing was working out. Then things decided to not go so well. First traffic decided to slow down for no particular reason. Next, we pulled in to Pilot to gas up and the turn was really sharp. But, using all his driving skill Bruce managed to make it without dropping the truck. Now our Pilot card wouldn't accept our pin number. Discover to the rescue. Pulled in to Wolfie's Campground about 2:00 and set up. Realized headlights were still on and discovered the battery was dead even though they were not on long, Looks like we are going to need a new coach chassis battery. It has been about seven years so it is about time. Then I opened the closet and found the hanging rack had pulled away from the ceiling and everything was in a jumble. Oh well, went to Steak 'n Shake and had the best burgers, onion rings and dark chocolate shakes ever. Picked up new screws for closet repair tomorrow. Hot shower and an early night. It is all good.
