Ed is trying to get our satellite set up for Dish Network. He needs two wires coming out of the satellite for them to set things up but hadn't found anyone near home who would touch it. He found an RV place in Richmond and set up an appointment before we left home. The place, Cheek and Shockley RVs, turned out to be only 2 miles from our FMCA rally location.
We arrived there on Monday morning and Ed thought it wouldn't take long. The weather was hot so we headed to a Panera's Bread Company to keep cool and use the internet. Turned out that there were already two wires up there!
Ed also had them try to adjust the living room slide-out with was low enough that the door below it was gouged when he opened it. The problem seems to be that the slide-out motor is old and tired so is not bringing the slide-out in tightly. They're ordering us a motor.
We traveled about 50 miles Northeast to the town of Urbana. I thought of my sister, Anita Krull, when we passed through Westpoint, where she and her husband lived for over 10 years.
This place is called Bethpage Camp-Resort and can accommodate over 700 campers! It's right on the Rappahannock River near the Chesapeake Bay. After dry-camping for several days at the FMCA rally, it feels luxurious to have a full hookup!
A knock came on our door about 10:30 this morning, and the folks were surprised to find that Ed was still in his favorite outfit - his bathrobe. He invited them in as it was hot outside. Both the President (Bob Boyer) and Treasurer (Joyce Eagle) of the Virginia Region III Holiday Rambler Club came to personally welcome us and to deliver our rally packet. They visited for a while, answering questions and filling us in on rally and membership details.
The rally officially starts tomorrow and it's nice to have a day to relax before we begin the many activities planned.
BTW - Holiday Rambler is the brand of our RV.
