Out Camping

Physical Therapy is going well, I have had one of my drugs changed, I went from Depakote to Gabbapentin, Depakote works on the brain to calm down the twitching and jerking from the stroke, but does not act as a nerve block, Gabbapentin works as a nerve block allowing more use to the left side.  SO, feeling a little better we went camping.
.

.
We have camped here for 25 years, we have had tents, pop ups, tents and now a Hard-top camper.   Most of our Campers were large and we left them set up on Lake Bonaparte up in the Adirondack Mountains.
.

.
Anna Mae in front of the tree with the "Old Man Face" on it, if you look close you can see the face, this tree has been here as long as we have been here!!
.

.
All set up, didn't do too bad, hardest part is hooking up and un hlooking camper.
.

.
These are the leveling braces, very heavy, the stack of lumber is a pain but the 4 bottom pieces are screwed togeather, once unhooked it is not too bad to level, trying to figure something else up to use.  I have to find something else as I left them at the campsite and someone picked them up.  It is a pain in the a$$ to hook and unhook, the receiver and Ball on the SUV weigh about 80 pounds!!!

.
Camper set up, fridge running, electric OK, fresh cup of 1/2 coffee/1/2 decaf.
.

.
Lunch with my Honey, grilled cheese and bologna samiches on Pita Pocket Bread.
.

.
Hot day, Anna Mae cooling her feet in Whetstone Gulf Creek, very cold water.
.

.
My Honey putting up the night lights.
.

.
We like the night lights, everyone it seems in the campgrounds have them.
.

.
Supper was Venison, Potatoes and green beans from the gardem,delicious when you hunt it and kill it and grow it and eat it!!
.


.
Anna cooling her heels in the creek.
.

.
I love cooking over an open fire.  If Physical Therapy goes well we want to go south on a trial run hauling the camper.
.

.
My honey making a list of things we need if we tow the camper to Myrtle Beach next month.
.

. From sunny skys to clouds, thunder and lightning, up here on Tug Hill Storms can get pretty bad,  so after a couple days we are cutting the trip short and heading home.
.

.
I was lucky and found this Poncho I bought in Myrtle Beach a few years back, never wore it till now and it did keep me dry.
.
Don't Forget, Remember our Vets!!!.

Okay, it is good to see you guys at a state park. We love the state and national parks because the sites are normally larger. I just commented to Sherry yesterday that this place we are is a private park but huge sites, unbelievable.
Anyway glad to see you guys out and especially you, shows you are improving that is for sure.
I like the plans but I think I like the pictures here the best right now. It all looks great.
I know you will work around and make do and get the thing hooked up and set up, good deal.
Love to you =both. Sherry & jack
