Our new site at Hickory Creek Park #95
5:00 am the alarm went off and I was up and going even before I made coffee I was outside unhooking the truck from the RV. I had not done this yesterday due to the extreme heat that is on top of us here. I had extended the legs down to take most of the weight off the truck but left it hooked up until this morning.
I have to take Sherri to the doctor today and sure did not want to pull the trailer down there by mistake….you laugh but I have seen similar things happen in campgrounds in my 30 plus years of RVing. I once even pulled my electrical cord 12 miles still hanging off the back end of my Motorhome. I could not figure out why all the road crews along the side of the road were running into the ditches waving their arms when I went by. I just thought they were all real friendly.
So I got us detached from out home and I am ready to go before time. I still have to get my Blue Boy out of the truck and see how to use it. I like knowing I don’t have to be all that conservative with my water usage at the State and COE parks. We have reduced the amount of money we spend on Campgrounds staying in these parks. My original budget was much higher for park stays but if we can keep staying in State and COE parks we should have some extra for Diesel…which by the way is on the rise again.
We got back from the doctors office about 1:30 and I started making some lunch for the two of us. Sherri just ate a baked potato and I had the same with some brisket . HMMM was it good…even in this heat wave we are having. Sure wish I was about 8,000 ft up in Colorado right now. I could use some 4o degree mornings to cool me off. I’m not so I will make the best of this situation. I have to dump tonight now that ought to be something to write about. I know you will all love to hear about that ….and you will tomorrow when I return…

Speedy, it looks like you have the same type of Blue Boy we do - bought ours at Camping World last year. It works well except we can't seem to get the last bit to drain out. Therefore, we avoid dumping black water in there if possible. :-) Let us know how you like it.
We drove about the same distance as you with our electrical cord dragging behind us also... I guess we all have stories to tell.
You're right I can hardly wait to hear the dumping story. I go into convulsions every time I think about your other dumping story. Especially with Mark's comments to bring colour to the story.
Looks like a nice site. We like state and COE parks -- much less crowded, and roomier sites.
I completely agree with your comment on our blog -- knowing the source of an issue is more than half the battle sometimes. We talked to the dealer today, and they are going to work with Newmar to get it resolved.
