We packed up and departed from the Escapees RV park on the 25th a Wednesday and headed for Lake Tyler state park and got there after several stops at about 1:30 in the afternoon. We paid for two days; mindful that we had to pay for the weekend as soon as possible if we were going to stay the weekend. We don't know as we haven't heard from the real estate agents about the closing. We may pay those agents a visit today and see if being on their doorstep, so to speak, will get us some answers. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to hear that things are not going well with the Probate Court in deciding who owns the property etc.
Yesterday when we got here at Tyler Lake it began to rain as we were setting up the trailer. When we tried putting out the slide it got half way out and stopped no power to move it. We searched for a place to crank it out but didn't find one. We had Internet service so we called a local RV repair person and he gave us some suggestions which turned out to be very helpful.
Our problem was that the wires for the motor for the slide were loose. We also had another problem with the landing gear as it chewed up the bolts we had just replaced. We had one more bolt and it lasted long enough to get the gear down. Seeing as it was raining any way we went to town for more bolts. While in town we decided to have dinner at Cracker Barrel and as we were having dinner the rain became a cloud burst lasting almost a half an hour before returning to a regular rain. We got back to the trailer and watched a CD of old Jack Benny television shows for while and went to bed listening to the rain on the roof.
