Waiting

Thursday & Friday, July 21 & 22

Thursday we weren't in a big hurry to leave the campground as we only had about 135 miles to go.  We are headed back to Tom Johnson RV Service and Campground in Marion, NC.  We plan on having our jack looked at here.  I have made reservations to keep us there until Monday but I bet we have to stay longer. 

The drive here was easy but still hot.  It might be 5 degrees cooler than it was in New Bern but I am not sure.  We got parked and checked in with no problems.  We tried not to take a lot of stuff out as we have an appointment tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM to get the rig looked at.  We had leftover pasta for dinner so I didn't have to cook much. 

We spent the evening watching TV shows that had been recorded.  Not much else went on. 

On Friday morning we got up and secured everything in the rig so we could take it over to service.  Since it was early we decided to have breakfast in the cafe.  The food was good and then we moved over to the customer waiting area to wait.  And wait.  And wait.  We had brought the computer and my Kindle in with us.  We worked on a schedule for the next few weeks.  Turns out that is a moot point since we will be spending a little more time here.  The jack has to be replaced and we are not sure when the part will get here.  Hopefully we will know more on Monday.  They are waiting for the company to call back. 

One thing we did do was decide to go to Nashville.  I was able to get tickets to the induction of the Oak Ridge Boys into the Opry!  I was surprised that they were not already members but am thrilled we get to be there.  It is about 350 miles away from here so I hope they get the parts before we have to leave.  I already booked a site at the Corps of Engineers Park at Seven Points.  We stayed there last year and enjoyed it.  I got the last available site for the weekend of Aug 5, 6, 7.  Turns out it is the same one we stayed in last year!  We will be going to the Opry on the 6th. 

So most of today was spent waiting for info.  We did visit a local Visitor's Center and picked up some paperwork on things to do in the area.  Tomorrow we take off on a road trip.  Get ready for some pictures!
