Days 103 & 104 - Friday & Saturday, March 15 & 16 - Enjoying our Time at Rainbow Plantation

Friday - It was cloudy and felt like it was going to rain all day, and it did in the late afternoon and evening. I had coffee with the guys in the morning. 

We didn't leave the campground. We both worked on a puzzle over at the clubhouse for a while and then in the evening Kathy dug one out of one of the coach cupboards and we put it together on the dining room table.

We pass this truck on our way in and out of the campground. It is NICE! I don't know the model year but think maybe its no newer than a 2008, help me out if you know what year it is (guess I could just walk down and ask the guy). It has Minnesota plates. I'm sure this truck is not driven on MN roads in the winter.


An observation, my recollection is that there used to be about an equal number of 5th wheel units and motorhomes here. This year there are significantly more 5th wheel units, and most are pulled by dually pickups.
Our neighbor works for Trane. He has an F150 company truck. He and his wife have a pretty good size travel trailer. I asked him if he pulled it with the F150. He doesn't, he pulls it with a Toyota Tundra that is parked over in the extra vehicle parking lot. Their trailer had a 11,285# GVWR. He told me that his Tundra is rated to pull a 12,000# trailer. He said he had no problem pulling this one here from Dallas, TX. They have been here since last fall and are trying to decide if they want to buy a home or a lot and build one. They really like the campground and are in no hurry to make a decision.

Saturday - No coffee with the guys on Saturday morning. Instead I  had breakfast at the clubhouse. Below is my $5 breakfast. Scrambled eggs, a biscuit & gravy, breakfast casserole (it was okay but I'd trade it for a 2nd biscuit & more gravy) & 2 sausage patties. I passed on the OJ. There was also a French Toast option.

After returning home I worked on some chores around the coach while Kathy went up to work on the latest puzzle. Big Daddy's is one of our 3 favorite restaurants down here. We had lunch there today. 

The view from our table.
Kathy had shrimp & oysters, I had blackened whitefish. Her shrimp was great but the oysters were a little disappointing. My fish was very good.

The Fish River was pretty today.

Then it was back home for ice cream on the patio.

After desert Kathy went back to the clubhouse to work on the latest puzzle. I went up and worked on it with her a little but it was way  to difficult for me. I went for a 6 mile bike ride around the campground instead.

Then it was back to sitting on the patio until it got uncomfortably cool around 6:30.

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours. He had blessed me.
