Rollin, rollin on the river

A thunderstorm and rain woke us up before 6 AM.  We started our coffee.  Gerri checked the weather and another cell was forecast to pass over at 8:30.  It never happened, but some wind came up.  The forecast for showers at 11:15 was accurate.  When we did go outside there was a coolness to the air.  A big change from the heat and humidity of the last few days.

After the rain we went to Margie's and picked her up for lunch.  We had lunch at Los Aztecas Mexican restaurant and then shopping at Sam's.  After some visiting back at Margie's and putting away the groceries, Gerri and I headed back to the park.

In the mid to late afternoon the park population had fallen.  We watched people coming and going and the traffic on the river.  The weather was so nice we were able to open the door and some windows.

I cleaned the bugs off the windshield and hooked the Jeep up for travel.  I pulled the Jeep up behind the coach through the empty site behind us.  I checked all the lights after hooking up.  The taillights on the Jeep are working again.

We tried to tune in church services from Oakey Blvd., but we weren't able to get a signal on either of our wifi systems.  I had a signal before services started but it went away.  I think the problem was at the church end, that has happened several times on this trip.  Gerri sent a text to Randy, but he wasn't at church to check on the problem.

We plan to drive to Kevin Mallory's shop in Celina, OH tomorrow a distance of over 400 miles.  We went to bed at 10, I set an alarm on my phone so we would get an early start.
