More folks arrive, and a Bike Ride!

Today, we had 5 new rigs parked one after another around us.  First across the street, and then on the next street behind the others.  And finally one right beside us.  They are on our driver side, and consequently are of no bother.  Our sites here are about 10 feet or more wider than sites in a normal commercial campground, and we still have two open sites on our door side.

Loyce finally struck up a conversation with the new neighbors beside us and we learned that they are all together, traveling from Oklahoma City.  Well no wonder they all parked in a group.  We still have bunches of empty sites down in this end of the park, so perhaps we will get more neighbors in the next few days.

I checked a number of the airports weather recording sites on the National Weather Service today and learned that other locations did actually go below freezing last night.  We were in a small area that didn't fall below in the early morning hours.

Temperatures recorded were as low as 27 degrees, so it really did freeze for some of the folks.  Again tonight, we are to have temps as low as 25 degrees, but that depends on where you look it up and who does the forecast.

So as it was getting dark again tonight, I turned on the hose and filled up the water tank.  Once full, the hose was rolled up and stowed.  The light was turned back on in the water locker under the coach, for its heat.  And we are again good to go for the freeze if it happens.

The motor scooter stuck its head out from under its cover in the afternoon sun today. Loyce had gone off with the car, and lunch was on the agenda.  So after dressing up in the motor scooter pants and jacket complete with the liners installed, and the heavy gloves and helmet, we were off.

Its less than 2 miles down to the Wendy's, and it wasn't too cold getting there.  After the value meal, in the warm restaurant, I came back home to the RV park.  Still feeling a bit restless, I rode around in the park streets at fairly slow speeds.  The sun was out, and slow speed made it quite enjoyable.

When I parked on the patio, the temp on the scooter dash was 48 degrees.  So not exactly warm, but the best we ever did here today.

Again:

Happy New Year!!
