We are finally off on a new adventure

We have had many delays starting our latest trip.  Why do all kinds of things pop up just as you get ready to leave.  Weird little things were happening with the trailer.  I turned on the gas and had nothing.  The tanks are full.....so what's up with that?

I resorted to my internet resource. Forest River Forums.  I had my answer in minutes.  In case you ever turn the gas on and nothing happens here is what could solve the problem.  If you turn the valve to full open real fast there is a safety device that could sense a sudden rupture or leak.  It will shut the system down.  To solve the problem, shut off the gas tank valves, disconnect the tanks from the regulator hose, reconnect everything, then just crack the tank valve and let it sit for a few minutes.
Then open the valves to full and you have gas again.  I will practice slowly opening the valves in the future.

We decided to breed our bichon frise when she came into heat last month.  She will be due around August 20th.   We made this decision to have a trained puppy ready for our grandson for Christmas.  He loves our little Muffie and would love to have a dog of his own.  It will be a very big surprise for him.

Consequently, our plans for two months on the road had to be reduced to just one.  To escape the summer Florida heat we plan to go to the Canadian Maritimes.  We would have liked to take it easy and spend more time along the way but that is not possible.   Problems all solved, we hit the road this morning.

We will cover ground pretty fast to get to our destination.  That isn't our style but most of this trip is over land we have covered many times before.  So we won't be missing much.  We will slow down when we hit New England.  That is the only area not filled in on our states map.

Tonight we stopped at an RV campground we visited in the past.  It is called Lake Harmony RV Park in Townsend, GA.  They have a little lake here with a swimming beach.  The sites are well shaded.  I count 46 of them.  They have full hook ups with cable and wifi.  The wifi is very good.  The sites are sandy with some grassy areas.  The owners are super nice folks.  We were late arrivals but they were there waiting for us with big smiles.  They led us to our site and helped guide us in.  Then stayed around until they knew everything was good.  Very good service.

Tomorrow we will do our 400 miles and call it quits early enough to relax a bit before we take off again.   We didn't take any photos today but when we get up north we will have plenty to share.
See you on the road.
