Day 7 Thursday May 5, 2022 Today we did our normal routine. Nothing unusual happened except we both got a nap in this afternoon. Must have been the homemade latte and strawberry shortcake with whipped cream that did us in.
Day 8 Friday May 6, 2022 About 50 reservations for today which is typical for a Friday, sometimes we have more but there is rain in the forecast. And the forecast was correct as we got rain that started about 3AM and stopped about 7AM and more predicted for the afternoon about the time the campers start to arrive.
We had a little break after breakfast so I stretched out in my recliner for a few minutes and fell asleep and slept until 1PM. Very unusual. As expected some campers have canceled due to the weather. A small storm came through and we lost electrical power from 8PM until about 9:30PM.
Day 9 Saturday May 7, 2022 Again normal routine for today. Lots of “No Shows” due to the weather. I worked in the Contact Station from 12:30PM until about 2PM so Jackie could work in the Visitor Center to cover for a staff member while she got her lunch break.
Day 10 Sunday May 8, 2022 It is a “Hoodie” kind of day. We awoke to expected low temperature of 46 degrees this morning and no sunshine so the ride on the golf cart while we put out the reservation signs was kind of chilly. Just can't get the heater in that thing to work! The high predicted today is only 57 degrees with no sunshine so a very cool day.
There is not as much turnover today as usual on Sunday so our job was a little easier today. I relieved Jackie in the Contact Station from 12:00 – 1:30PM.
Day 11 Monday May 9, 2022 Another “Hoodie” kind of day. It was 42 degrees this morning when we got up. A typical Monday, not much turnover so not many sites to clean. Late in the afternoon we put out the reservation signs for Tuesday and Wednesday since we will be off those days.
Day 12 Tuesday May 10, 2022 We had breakfast at McGrady's Cafe. A local country cafe about 5 miles from the campground. Then we went to Wilkesboro to the Walmart to pick up a few items including a small leaf blower. There is so much tree debris falling on our mats and awnings it will make cleaning up so much easier. Then we stopped in North Wilkesboro for a Latte and pastry.
We saw the first deer this morning on our way out. Normally we see lots of deer during the week when there are not as many campers around. There a lots of squirrels, bird and noisy crows around. Never been anywhere where there was as many crows.
Day 13 Wednesday May 11, 2022 This morning we drove across the state line via The Blueridge Parkway to Galax, VA., to get a Latte and cinnamon bun at one of our favorite coffee shops. The Briar Patch Marketplace and Cafe. I filled up the Jeep with fuel and paid $4.09 a gallon. The highest I have ever paid for fuel.
Then we stopped at the local Verizon Cellphone Store to ask about my iphone battery. The last two mornings it has been acting weird. Our iphones are over 5 years old so the batteries are showing their age. The agent said they are not able to change the batteries in the iphones and the nearest iphone shop was in Winston-Salem. He checked our records and we qualified for a promotion that Verizon has for our particular plan. So we got two new iphone 13 for $0.00 after he applied a good customer discount and our old iphones trade in value. All we had to pay for was the new protective cover, new screen protectors and the programming fee for the new iphones. And our monthly bill will be $2.56 less. A good deal in our book.
