Today we made our way south and east and around three hours or so later we pulled into the Ladson, SC KOA. It rained the entire trip between Greenville and Charleston. Huli slept the whole way. First impression is that the rv park is a shit hole. The first site they gave us had us sitting in a small lake. Huli had them change us to the site next door where we were only in a pond. One great thing is the temperature. Its been in the 70's and tonight the low is only suppose to get down to 69 degrees. Its been raining since we got here. We pulled into our first site but could not get out of our site by going forward so we unhooked the car and backed out the way we came in so we could move over to the site next door. It's all good now and we are situated. It's not the best accommodations we have been in for a KOA but we will reserve final judgment until later. We stay in a lot of KOA's due to the ease of making reservations and usually due to the ability to get our rig into a site. This one is not quite as friendly toward big rigs as most even though their web site says otherwise but we got her in here.
Tomorrow we are going into Charleston and will come back and get the dogs and will head back into Charleston in the evening so we can visit the James Island Christmas Light Display. One thing I have already noticed being here is the smell of the cellulose plant that is in Charleston. It has a distinct smell and we are around 15 miles west of town but I can smell it.
Today the motorhome ran great. Last Wednesday my relatively newly installed Progressive Industries surge protector displayed an error code of E10. That means replace surge protector. I called the company and they said they could send me a new electronics board at no charge if I felt comfortable putting it in. Since they were located in Mooresville, NC I told them to send it asap so I could get it while we were still in Greenville, SC. I got the board yesterday and while it initially looked a little scary once I got into it I found it wasn't too bad. I unhooked and removed the old board and installed the new board and rehooked up about five wires and we were back in business. Its now working great again.
Maybe tomorrow we will get some pictures. Right now I have the drivers seat turned around and am reclining watching the Denver/Miami NFL game with the window opened next to me listening to the rain. Life is good.
A journal written about life, retirement and our journey throughout the United States in a 5th wheel, along with our two Shih Tzus, Tanner and Syndey. Written not for notoriety but for our sons, family and friends, so they know where we are at any given time. And particularly for ourselves. Finally, we get to slow down and smell the roses and we don't want to forget any of it. You are welcome to join us as we go 'Down the Road a Piece'.
