Travels of 2010

The Big "A" Bus is back on the road heading South but not having much luck finding warmer weather. We left Virginia on Sunday 1-3-10 and had a great first day with not much traffic but a lot of wind. We spent the night outside of Florence SC.

Monday morning we discovered that everything in the refrigerator was rather warm. To make a long story short---- IT AINT WORKING. We had to buy ice chests and ice and put everything in them.

Stopped for an early lunch outside of Santee SC and visited with a first cousin of mine, Mary Purvis.

We arrived in Rincon, Georgia at the campground and the intent was to visit my niece in the afternoon and evening and that got put on hold due to the refrigerator and also I discovered that the sink drain had come loose and water was going everywhere. Needless to say a trip to Lowes was in order to get parts to fix that. We finally got showers and headed to bed.
Tuesday morning we went over to see Susanne and I spent most of the day with her. Larry came back to the motorhome for his nap and also to add more ice to the chest. Now as cold as it is in Georgia, we could probably put things outside and it would be okay.
We hope to leave early on Wednesday and get into Dade City by mid afternoon. Larry talked with a repairman who will come over after we get settled and check out the refrigerator. He was very nice to talk with and said he would waive the service call charge since we are working for Habitat.
More on the saga of this trip later
