Awake: 5:49am Temp 48 sleep 6+15 rain & wind overnight @
Newell campsite.
Good thing we didn’t plan on traveling today…..the weather is lousy. Winds
are strong with gusts & rain, heavy @ times. We stay inside our bus all
morning. About 12:30, Kathy gets brave & walks over to the customers’
lounge to use their computer; by this time, the rain had subsided with
lessening winds. Kathy actually spent little time on the computer as she
found 2 couples in the lounge to talk with; Foy & Helen from Texas, owners
of a 1999 Newell and having a 2008 built and Tom & Patty from Florida,
former Prevost owners, now owners of a 2006 Newell which they bought from
Mic whom we met at the Booth Bay rally.
@ 1:40pm Ron & James ring our doorbell; they would like to have the Plasma
TV bracket & screws that hold the front TV in its cabinet with the ability
to swing out for service if need be. “I thought they would never ask!”
About 30 min later, R & J return with the Plasma in hand, all 165 lbs of
it, snap it into its cabinet cradle, a few on screen selections are made
by Ron & then, a beautiful picture is displayed. I thank the guys
profusely & begin programming our GPS for a southern destination.
6:20 dinner: Leftover filled peppers & spinach salad.
Zack calls from Seattle: He’s alive & well. We share over an hr of talk time.
We both watch the final episode of: “Dancing with the Stars” in the
comfort of our living room for a change.
Late satellite movie: “Five Came Back” with Chester Morris, Lucille Ball,
Wendy Barrie, etc. This sleeper shows its age a little but remains
interesting for colorful character studies among passengers on a plane
downed in headhunter-infested Amazon jungle. 1939. You better believe it!
67 yrs later, this film was ahead of its time.
High temp=48 Lights out: 11:54pm
