Just 5 days until lift off....

7:22 am - Wednesday - October 9th - LPG&RVR - 42° F, humidity 49%, wind 3 mph out of the south by southeast.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 80° F.  On this date in 2018 TLE and I arrived in Delaware, the 48th state we have visited in the Newell since 2012.....

....we stayed at the Elks Lodge (#2281) in New Castle, DE and then did day trips around the area, and down to the sea.

Tuesday was our 3rd day of 'taking down' site #55.  As you know, big progress was made Monday, so Tuesday would be even better, but first we decided to head over to the Clubhouse to have a late breakfast around 11 am.....

.....we haven't done that for a long time, and it was such a great way to begin day three of 'taking down' our site.  We were back at the Newell around 12 pm.

To begin  the work TLE and I moved the two heavy (AC200P & AC200MAX - about 70 pounds each) Bluetti® solar batteries into the through bay to occupy the space previously occupied by our two travel suitcases, which we moved into the trailer.  We then moved all four of my tool bags into the right rear storage bay where we keep our telescoping ladder.  We previously stored all of our sun shades in there, which are legion.  The sun shades will go into the large Rubbermaid storage box we used as a TV stand this summer, and that will sit on top of the tool box on the trailer tongue, as it did when drove north from SoCal last April.  Once again less weight in the trailer, and more weight in the Newell.  Finally, we took down the BBQ station, and umbrellas....

No more BBQ station, or umbrellas

The Rubbermaid storage box

The stuff in the middle will be moved up front, but the 3 Bluetti® solar panels will go into the Newell.  The table with tools to the left will be taken down, and the tools will go into a new tool bag I'm buying as ACE Hardware today.

.....by the time we were done with all of that it was after 3 pm, and time for a shower.  We'll finish the rest Wednesday, and if we still have some work to do we'll do that this Sunday.

Thanks for stopping by!
