We had an early morning, by our standards at least. After having coffee with the landlords, Marilyn's sister, Marg and her husband Kim, we went to the Skyline to have breakfast while we waited for the truck air to up.
It was another short stop at the border, we had everything in order and filled out in duplicate, so after checking the serial numbers on everything, we were on our way. We stopped in Kenmare to get a new tire for the camper and to fuel up.
Al was having trouble with a pin that kept creeping out of the bracket that holds the hydraulic lift on the combine trailer. After stopping to pound it back a couple or three times we were able to make it to Wilton to pick up a couple of hose clamps to keep it in place. Other than that it was a rather uneventful day in the breakdown department.
We got to Gettysburg around 7:30pm and while Al got the General fueled up, Marilyn took the camper to the town park and finally got the holding tank filled with water so she could purge the winter antifreeze from the lines...something that usually gets done at home right after the camper is pulled from it's parking spot. After getting it parked, she went to pick up Al and it was over to the Gas N Goodies for supper.
Tomorrow will be a marathon day as we try to get through Nebraska and a good chunk of Kansas...maybe in the rain...
Marilyn just realized on the last trip down, she did not set one foot in a Walmart...
