Continuing On

From DC we headed to Ohio. We needed to kill some time before our appointment on the 14th at Winnebago for some warranty work. We had never been to the TT park in Jefferson, OH so we headed to Kennisee Lakes. The park was nice, but pretty empty. We took the covered bridge tour and then up to Ashtubula to visit Lake Erie.
Here's a picture of the beach there.



From there we visited Don and Harolyn Walker again in Wooster, Ohio. Don had a mini tournament on Thursday night. I was the only woman player. Had great play, but after being off the courts except 2 days in Hersey, the 10 games we played were too much. My body wasn't accustomed to that much exercise. Or that type of exercise. Most of the men there really play the hard hitting game. I didn't win, but I did finish better than 4 of the guys. For those that don't know, Bob and I had to leave Don's on Saturday instead of Sunday and scoot over to Pat Irwin's sister's place in Logan, IN. We had planned on spending Labor Day there, but instead, we left the rig and flew to Washington. Bob's sister passed away, so we stayed there from Sunday until Thursday. So much for needing to waste time before Winnebago.
We rested on Friday and did go 4 wheeling with John on the farm. Then on to Winnebago. We're there now waiting to get the rig fixed.

Break Down

This will bring the travels up to date with a Bummer of a breakdown. After playing on Sunday morning with Tom and Becky and their son-in-law, we headed out. We were actually going to stay in a RV Park, the RPI on Wellsby Island in the middle of the St. Lawrence. Going through Fulton, we heard a crunch and a loud clanking. We pulled over and saw nothing, so headed out again. Too much noise, so decided not to chance it. Called CoachNet to arrange a tow. Spent one night in the Valero Gas Station parking lot. On Monday morning we were towed to Camping World in Syracuse, NY. One week later, we're still here, camping in their parking lot, waiting on a new rear-end. Luckily, there's water and a dump within hose length. Here's the problem child. A rear end problem.

April Family Fun

Image
  Winter’s gone and the seasons over.  We got to Happy Trails at the end of October and immediately started with tournaments. Not playing just working.  In December, we took our annual trip for a beach and snorkel fix.  Then back for more tournaments.  I had back surgery on Dec. 17th, so no pickleball for me the rest of the season.  In April, my big brother Jim Richardson, my Sister, Gladys and Husband, Denny Houghton, and my Sister, Anita and her husband, Stan Kubin cam to visit me.  We normally meet somewhere in May for an annual get together.  This year it was April and at my place.  Dom and Sue were nice enough to move their rig and Gladys and Denny  parked on their lot right next to us so that we could all be together.  Bob and I moved into our RV the night before they arrived since we were headed out after they left.  Picked Jim up at the airport on Thursday, April 18th.  We stopped for lunch/dinner at our favorite Mexican Food restaurant and headed home to welcome Anita and S

Ending of one Epidsode and On to another

 On June 3rd, we drove up to the Teton's in search of 399 and her 4 cubs.  No luck, set for hours where she was supposed to be but, OH Well, that's the breaks.  We did see another Sow and her 2 cubs and some beautiful scenery with lots of snow.  Only portions of the park were open.  On June 5th, headed out for one last hike in the area.  Went to Palacais Creek Trail.  Hopefully there will be a moose at the lake.  It's a 10 mile round trip hike and the moose does make it worth the miles. We not only saw the moose, but some goats up in the cliffs along the way.  Differently a good hike. The moose has a deformed paddle.  Probably won't win any cows or survive the fall.     The creek was really running Saw several goats up on the cliffs.   So on the 9th of June, we had closed on the lots and headed up to Clyde Park to visit Wayne and Nancy and determine what is our next step.  Sad to leave friends behind, but we'll see them in Happy Trails and Surprise. Ready for a new
