Nice drive - everything seems to be working all right. Stopped at rest area which is perfect 1 hour away. Site 55 is really slopped and forgot to bring the extra levelers. Got within 2 degrees and just stopping the refrig occasionally. I think all the sites on this section are slopped..... but still got some good views of the lake.
The recliner has been just absolutely great. This is one decision that took a lot of work but it worked out wonderfully. Slept good and even watched Dallas beat Giants in a really tight game.
Didn't have a fire or anything outside since by the time I loaded the camper and drove here I was too tired, so just had a couple of corndogs (sorry Cari).

This was a day of challenges.... I slept really good especially for the first night. The recliner is really working out great.
I took a bike ride around the campground which was really nice. Talked with a couple of people... one was a crew chief on the B-52 and was on Guam the same time we were there. He was enlisted and in what he called the chicken coops .... Quonset huts. I was again really blessed with the life that God gave me.
I had talked with the Ranger on Monday and I needed to register since it was not manned when I came in. So I got on my bike to do it today and there was some kind of problem with the front wheel. At first I thought it was just loose and when I tried to tighten it up I found out that it was loose but that was because the slot where the wheel axle had widened to the point that it would not hold the wheel. Looks like I may need a front fork. This is probably the result of putting electric on it. So the bike is useless now.... it is something I will have to fix when I get back or get a new fork.
So, without the bike I have been doing more walking but sure miss not being about to cover the distance like with the bike.
Started this Noom program for losing weight and am doing a trial on it for $10 and must admit that since for the last week I have lost 7 lbs.... That is really saying something since I usually gain weight when camping.
Still not getting internet the way I want it to watch streaming movies. Too many trees for satellite.

Slept pretty good but the main problem was trying to finish watching a movie with poor internet connection.
Finally had a fire this morning and fixed some bacon and eggs with toast and had some apple cider. Oh so good! (This is what I like about Noom..... they say this is fine.... it is about balance and I am in it for long term.)
Took a nice long walk this afternoon..... at least long for me. It was nice to be extending my walks.... probably good thing my trike broke down....
Had hamburger over the fire and corn on the cob this evening and everything was delicious.
The weather has been near perfect for this whole trip.... thank you, Lord!!

Last day.... want to leave about noon. Slept really good again last night... still tweaking everything with the recliner and all is working well.
Fixed breakfast over a fire this morning.... Pumpkin spice pancakes, bacon, warm apple cider... ate too much but it was just soooooo good. Just sorry I didn't get to ride my trike but walking wasn't too bad... just didn't get to see as much or take the long trail I was looking forward to doing. Oh well, it was still a great trip.
