Awake 6:03am Temp 39 Today's weather: Clear, then Cloudy;
Thunderstorms with heavy rain, then fair. Overnight@
Newell campground
The beefed up replacement driver's base plates arrived this morning. Dee,
short for Dwayne, brings the swivel plate out to our coach with some of
his tools for doing the changeover. It takes him several hrs to install
the unit.
Meanwhile, Kathy uses the customer service computer in the lounge for e-mail.
I make some phone calls to locate a suitable & nearby campground to where
the Footes will be staying in San Diego. After a number of dry calls, I
did get lucky & found an opening @ the "Campground on the Bay" in San
Diego, about 4 miles from where the Footes' hotel is located. This
campground is in high demand most of the year. One can make reservations 2
yrs in advance for a site at this place.
Now the scary part of this visit @ Newell. I ask for & pay the
bill...ouch!
We attend Holy Thursday Mass @ 7:00pm @ Sacred Heart church.
During Mass, we can hear the rumble & see the lightning of a distant
thunderstorm approaching. By the time we return to our coach, the wind
gains strength & there is no doubt that our motorhome will be water leak
checked again. We retract our slides & disconnect the external water
filters...5 min later, a heavy downpour with strong winds & TRW's.
8:30pm Light dinner: Leftover stew with raisin/pecan bread.
Watch cable movie: "The Ipcress Files" with Michael Caine. A good movie.
I am undecided on our routing for tomorrow's travel. It will be either
Interstate 20 thru middle Texas or I-40 across upper Texas. We'll check
the weather channel in the morning.
Today's high temp=62 Lights out: 11:31pm
