On the 18th of August, we traveled to Monte Sano RV Park in Huntsville, AL. We arrived in the rain which might have been welcomed, considering how hot it has been, but the lightning was not so welcome! So, whenever it seemed like it was letting up, I got out of the truck to do some of the set up. Of course, now the auto leveler would decide to act up! More lightning, so back to the truck and thinking about the leveler. I seem to recall reading that holding two buttons in would do a reset. Back out and held in the LEFT and RIGHT buttons. Turned the unit off and back on and it worked! Finally, after a couple more trips to the truck to wait out the lightning, I got the camper powered up, AC running, slides out and awning out. Dodie and Maggie came inside and we did some of the setup items that get done inside while waiting out the storm.
This park is on the mountain and in the woods. No WIFI, no cell phone service, no satellite TV. This is primitive camping! LOL!

That is why you haven't heard from us since the 17th. The park is nice and the trees helped the air conditioners. However, it has been hot as heck!
We did take a day to go to the Space Center in Huntsville. If we had not spent two days at the Kennedy Space Center, this would have been great. However, it was basically a "mini-me" of Kennedy.

The rest of the time was spent puttering around and finishing up some projects. Although it has been too hot for bikes, I noticed one of Dodie's trike tires was flat. I put air in it before we left Macon. So, I again aired it up to see if I could tell where it was leaking. Those tires hold 60 to 80 PSI, so it was right at 60 when there was a loud kaboom! Dodie came out to see what happened and the guy in the next camper came over. It sounded like a gun shot and my ears were ringing since my head was only inches from the tire! Evidently, the tire had been rubbing on the fender or something and was worn on the inside sidewall. There was one spot where there was a hole and perhaps the tube pushed out from there? I don't know. I do know the tube exploded at that spot and I do know there are no 24 inch by 1.5 inch bike tires in all of Huntsville!
Yesterday, 8/21/14, we left Huntsville and arrived in Savannah, TN in a place called Green Acres RV Resort. Thinking about the heat and how hard the air conditioners are going to have to work, we asked for a shady spot. When we made the reservations, the lady on the phone was really nice and did say we got a spot with a tree!

Yup. There is a tree, but it won't be helping the air conditioners! However, this is a nice park and it would be a good cooler weather stopping over point. The folks here are really nice and the park is meticulously clean. Last night was Karaoke night and there were about 10 of us there. No, we did not sing! There were only 3 of the folks that did sing. Now that we are back in civilization, I'll try to keep up with the blog! We plan to be here until Monday, 8/25/2014. We haven't decided where we will stop next, but we need a place about halfway between here and Berryville, AR. Any suggestions?
