Apr 14th - Up EARLY!!!

Yesterday I ripped the remainder of the carpet off the carpet pool game, and pulled all the staples. Whoever put the carpet on the game made sure it was WELL attached with many, many inch and a half long staples. In the afternoon I put the furnace back in the motorhome and fired it up. Seems to run correctly after the cleaning.

Kathy did campground cleaning most of the day. She did knock off a little early because she was doing our laundry and needed to get packed.

We backed out of our parking space at Mt. Gilead at 3:09 AM and headed for the airport. Normal driving time is one hour 45 minutes but with no traffic we made it in 1 hour 30 minutes. After leaving Mt. Gilead, and as soon as she had a decent cell phone signal, she checked the status of her flight and it was listed as cancelled. Since we were so far from the airport we continued driving. Within 10 minutes she found that Delta had rebooked her on a different airline That was fine until she got to the airport and found out that the flight was not cancelled, Delta had just overbooked the flight and had pushed her to a different airline. She had already paid to check a bag on the Delta flight and they made her pay again at the other airline. We will be checking into that, I can't believe that Delta can book your flight and take the money for a bag and then book you on a different airline and make you pay again for your bag.

After I left the airport I sent to the Denny's in Emeryville, not to far from Oakland, for a leisurely breakfast, and access to their WiFi hotspot. I was there almost two hours and am now at Drew's. We are going to go to Santa Clara and pick up a couch. He had given the couch to someone else during one of his previous moves because he didn't have room for it in his new place. Now he has room, and those folks no longer need it. They asked him if he wanted it back and he said yes. We are not sure what vehicle we are going to use to haul it. A couple who live in Oakland have offered the use of their work pickup, but we are going to wait awhile before contacting them to make sure we can use it. It is only a little after 7 AM here. They probably would like to sleep in a little on Saturday morning.

We have told the people at Mt. Gilead that we will be leaving their on Thursday, April 26th. We told the people at Twin Rocks Friends camp to expect us around May 2nd. That will give us some time to sight see while making the 650-850 mile drive (depends on how we decide to go) up to Twin Rocks.

We may not have a camp in line for Washington. I had thought we were going to Lazy F in Ellensburg but found out that they don't actually have full hook ups for RV's. In fact all they have is a place RV's can park.

Hope you all have a great day. May God bless you and yours.
