There was a sprinkle during the night and the morning was overcast, cool and threatening rain again. We got the camper closed up and ready to hook up, then went downtown to get the Freightliner started up.
After the startup, we were deciding what to do next, when we looked down the main street and saw a heavy wall of rain heading our way. Perhaps we should have hooked up the camper first. We went to wait out the rain by going to grab a snack at the convenience store...it didn't let up. We bit the bullet and went back to get wet hooking up the camper.
We got hooked up and headed out of town in the rain, fortunately it only lasted for about 20 miles. The rest of the trip was uneventful, we stopped for a quick snack and a stretch at Springview, NE, and made it to Hamill just after 4pm.
It would seem that it was a good thing that we didn't come all the way yesterday or else we would have been trying to get parked in the rain...they had 3" last night! It was really soft where we parked the camper...no mud, but a workout for the Dodge trying to get parked in just the right spot. After we found the "sweet" spot, Marilyn got up on the roof of the camper and did some pruning of the dead branches that threatened to do damage to the slide out awnings. At least the temperature was a lot cooler than when we usually come here
With everything hooked up, dish aimed and ready for the NHL awards that Al had to watch, we were settled in. We tested out the BBQ for cooking one of the take and bake pizzas that we brought from Great Bend...a new favorite way to cook it.
Bad news was that we missed the internet man and the cell service is pretty poor, so uploading the blog has taken waaaayyyyy toooo looonnnggg....
