Final trip of the year 2013

11/16/13 Saturday We decided to go to our river lot for few days and begin work on a small storage building that we need there. We departed about 10:30AM for the 22 mile drive. After setting up the MH I uploaded the building materials that I had loaded in the truck. We decided where we wanted to build the building and laid out the corners but decided to wait until Monday to begin digging the post holes. We set up our chairs on the river bank and read for a couple of hours before driving the truck back home so we could attend church Sunday morning.

11/17/13 Sunday We returned to the river lot about 5:30PM after attending church and visiting with some of Lena’s family. Her Aunt died Saturday afternoon so we will be attending the funeral on Tuesday.

11/18/13 Monday After our 1 mile walk and breakfast we got started on our storage building. I dug 10 post holes 2’ deep and poured concrete around them and then we added the 2 x 6 framing followed by the plywood floor. Then I installed a vent in the pump house to get some circulation in there to get some of the moisture out. The remainder of the day was relaxing and reading.

11/19/13 Tuesday We drove the truck home and I went to the local ACE Hardware store for building materials, then we went to Lena’s Aunt’s funeral.

11/20/13 Wednesday We decided to stay home today and go back to the river tomorrow so I prepared some used lumber I had so I could use it on the building we are building at the river.

11/21/13 Thursday We returned to the river about 10:30AM and had the walls finished by about 2:30PM. We will return in a few days when our son can help me install the rafters and get it ready for the sheeting. We relaxed by the river the remainder of the day and read. It was totally quite except for the birds singing and the sounds of leaves and acorns falling. We truly enjoy relaxing at our river lot.

11/22/13 Friday We did our morning walk, had our homemade fresh juice and breakfast and then packed up and headed home. This will be our last camping trip this year. When we got home I washed and dried the MH and then winterized it.

We have taken 6 trips in 2013 for a total of 81 nights and traveled just a little over 6,000 miles. One trip was for 33 nights and one was 27 nights.A
