View of the day-Parked at Mason City, NE...no air conditioning needed here!
We had a laid back day since we weren't planning on leaving until later on in the afternoon. We didn't have much left to do...pay the fuel bill and the rent, then get the camper ready to roll.
We went for lunch at Tracy's Bar & Grill...what a difference from the restaurant next to the campground. A full house, one waitress running her a$$ off, but still smiling and friendly to everyone...and the burgers were HUGE, all in all a great experience.
We got the camper hooked up and went out to the cardlock to get Al's rig aired up and ready to go. We left there around 4pm...the hottest part of the day, although not quite 100º, at least it was cloudy. We stopped on the road a couple of times to check the loads and have a 'pit' stop...Marilyn got to try out the new water pump in the camper...it worked great for one flush and a hand wash, then it quit. Fuses all fine, water in the tank, and no leaking this time, which is a plus, but still no water. Steve at Heartland better be prepared because Al will be dealing with him this time...and he is cranky.
We got to Ansley, NE with the load, parked it at the truck stop, then drove 6 miles to Mason City to get power...and now water...at the campground. We had stayed there before, so we knew what to expect...the trains on the main line 50 feet from the camper...it will definitely be a noisy night.
We didn't have enough power to run the A/C's, but we really didn't need them...the temperature was...65º...a drop of 38º from when we left LaCrosse! Marilyn got the windows opened up for the first time on the run and with the help of the fans, got it cooled off enough to sleep.
Hopefully we don't get too much nasty weather through the night...
