On the road again
for our annual trip to the NPTC convention.
All was well for the first couple of hours until I noticed that no one
was letting me make lane changes on the highway. So we pulled over at a rest stop about 12 miles east of Richmond, VA so I could
check out what might be wrong. Big
trouble in paradise as the electrical cable from Tricera-Pod ( our name for our little Forest
River Model 177 R-Pod) that hooks up to our truck had been dragging the road
for who knows how long. Bottom line all the individual wires had been stripped
bare and severed. No wonder I was having trouble making lane changes, none of
our turn signals, or lights were working.
After calling an RV
place to find out what it would cost, $100 and hour, to repair I went to work
on my own. A pair of wire cutters, a
Swiss Army knife ( courtesy of my wife's who always carries her knife) and lots
of electrical tape we were on the road again with all lights workings.
We made camp at
Claytor Lake State Park in Virginia near the TN/VA border. A really nice
campground with a huge lake. Camp sites were nice and big with lots of room.
Bathrooms and showers are a bit dated but they were clean. Met some really nice
folks at this camps site. They were a retired couple from Texas. They taught
school all over the world for over 30 years.
Had a nice pizza for
dinner at a local place, MK's Gourmet Pizza's. They severed allot more than
pizza's so if anyone decides to stay at this state park check it out. You
cannot miss the place as it is only a couple of miles from the entrance to the
park.
