C&C Retirement Adventures, Day 1, Monday, January 10, 2011

Been experiencing some issues with WIFI connectivity—so my blog posts are not as current as I’d like them to be.  But nevertheless, I will try to keep you entertained with our experiences.

Light snow in Detroit Lakes; 8:30 a.m. appointment at the local RV service center to complete recall service on RV refrigerator—completed in about an hour.  On the road again—ooops, only 7 miles out of town Cathy remembered she left Corky’s meds in the refrigerator at home!  Turn around, call neighbors.  Judy & Curt retrieve meds and meet us at large parking lot only 1.5 miles from the house.  Many thank yous. 

At the Flying J in Souix Falls, SD

11 a.m. On the road again.  Still snowing—need to reduce speed.   First rest stop at the state line ND/SD; needed to clear road slush from review and side camera lenses.  Next stop Brookings, SD to refill LP gas—guess we used a bit while we were loading coach.  Still snowing—driving getting a little dicey.  We fuel up in Sioux Falls, SD at the Flying J truck stop at about 4:30 p.m. and decide to stay overnight.  We only made 280 miles, but hey, we retired, we can stop whenever we want!  Coach is toasty warm, TV reception was great; pups did very well traveling together in the same kennel—what a life!
