. Hi kids
Believe it or not this is our tenth trip in the TRUSTED Winnie. We have compiled over 40,000 miles and approximately 6,000 gallons of gasoline. Unfortunately we have also purchased 14 tires but we all know those stories! When I write I want my readers to understand that I take all liberties granted to authors. This means a lot of my stories can be interpreted by the reader and if you enjoy the story then it must be the truth. You read it on the internet so it has to be factual..right?
So back to my tires the day before we leave I was doing my normal maintenance check and I realized that I could not get a reading on the tire pressure for the front passenger tire. I also could not put air into the tire. Here come to find out one of the two decorator lug nuts had fallen off and the pretty chrome(fake) rim had vibrated and cut right through the valve stem. Here we go again back to Concord Auto and a quick repair.
Okay now were ready. First stop Camp creek in West Virginia. This place is where our brakes went out in 2013 and where our slide out motor fried last year. So we figure our chances are good that nothing will go wrong this time. We were correct in our odds bet and we enjoyed a quiet evening and the best part was winter rates were still in effect. We pulled out in the morning with a full tank of fresh water and empty waste tanks and headed for the National forest of South Carolina.
We found a great place in Whitmere. The camp ground is called Brickhouse I think it is named after the Commadors song Brickhouse...I think but I'm not sure. Now for the best part. With our annual National Park pass we are staying here for $2.50 per night. The place is practically deserted. We have 33 gallons of fresh water and plenty of gas for the generator so we will probably stay 3-4 days then off to Florida.
So we stopped at the store and Karen went in to shop. I watched the Winnie so no one would steal my tires. When she came out she had purchased 4 cases of beer, 3 bottles of Jim Beam, 2 loafs of bread and 2 bottles of wine. I asked her..are we expecting company? She said no! I said so why did you buy so much bread. Hope to write soon..send money. I will leave you with some pics.
