This morning we took off from Winter Quarters to Rose Bay. Tim came by and we were able to get a tire pressure reading on my driver rear inside tire. Yesterday I couldn’t read anything on it and I was going to take the RV to a commercial truck shop to have them look at the tire. But thanks to Tim, that stop was not needed.
The road trip between Bradenton and Port Orange was hard. We stopped at a normal gas station, which meant that I had to carefully maneuver the RV next to a gas pump. And maneuver my way out again. After that stop, which was only into our trip by 45 minutes, we could not find another rest area/truck stop on the way to Port Orange. We pulled over the RV onto a shoulder for an emergency biobreak…. thankfully we could do that. But the shoulder the RV was on was narrow and the RV shook when traffic passed by.
So we arrived at Rose Bay RV park hangry (no lunch and four hours of driving.) The office at the RV park offered minimal help, there is no WiFi, no picnic table, and the campsite we have looks like it formerly housed a mobile home. So we are homesick for our previous park in Bradenton.
V-Rain and high winds kept us inside more than usual and we didn’t even open up the awning – we didn’t want it torn or ripped off. We made a lot of side trips from this location. Having a rental car for 2 weeks in Bradenton and for a week in Port Orange allowed us a lot of freedom. Grocery store run, vet run to get Lexie’s staples out, gave us a good measure of mobility. We also drove past Palmer College of Chiropractic Medicine on the second day. My chiropractor, Dr. Mary Teague and my former chiro Dr. Scott Sesny both graduated from that school.
Not as many activities at this RV resort. The previous resort had a Valentine’s Days dance and potluck on the day we left, this had nada. This resort also had more 4 month+ residents so they tended to be a bit less friendly to the transients – US.
