Awake: 7:19am Temp 54 sleep 6+22 overnight rain & overnight @ Newell campsite.
After breakfast, Kathy phoned her friend, Jodi, in Memphis. They discussed beaches in New Jersey that might be good places for house rentals in July & Kathy gave her a heads up that we might stop in Memphis when we finish at Newell.
Early afternoon, Darrel & Jackie pull into the Newell campground area; within (30) min, Darrel rings our doorbell. We met this young couple last September when our coach was getting a good makeover @ Newell. Darrel tells me he has a dead battery on his Rubicon Jeep. I waste no time in moving our Suzuki into position to jump his battery; then I let him use our battery charger for however long it takes for a good charge.
While traveling thru Oklahoma on Friday, we encountered several areas of road construction & one in particular, narrowed us to a single lane. Near the end of that construction was a tanker truck & another unit parked off to the side with a water hose spraying water on the road. I slowed down to about (30) mph, feeling comfortable that we wouldn’t get our coach splattered with dirty water. Well, when we arrived @ the Newell campground & stepped outside, nearly all the passenger side outer wall of our home was loaded with short white streaks….. looked like we’d had a milk shower; go figure!
While Kathy uses the cell phone on our free day to catch up with family & friends, using Windex & paper towels, I clean the spilled milk from the side of our home….. it took about (1.5) hrs but I didn’t cry.
Dinner: Couscous, & we can’t remember what else, but of course, it was good.
DVR movie: “Humoresque” with Joan Crawford, John Garfield, Oscar Levant, J. Carrol Naish, Oscar Levant, etc. Ambitious violinist Garfield gets involved with wealthy, unstable patroness Crawford. No cardboard soap opera here; superb performances, handsome production, hilarious support from Levant & a knockout finale. 1946. This story was tops; add it to your list.
