7:49 am - Sunday - April 12th - TWW - 53° F, humidity 23%, cloud cover 39%, wind 27 mph out of the south by southwest.....partly cloudy today with a forecast high of 62° F. On this date in 2012 TLE had just arrived in Savannah, GA for our first visit....
....we dry camped for three days at Red Gate RV Park about 10 minutes from City Center. We would return to Savannah a couple more times in the first few years of our nomadic experience. One of our favorite cities. The view this morning....
Saturday was another very windy day.....no climbing on roofs when it is that windy, right? TLE visited the greenhouse first thing to check on the plants, and water those in need of moisture, but that was the end of our outdoor activities for the day. We spent the rest of the day indoors watching The Masters tournament at Augusta National in Georgia. In the golfing world Saturday is known as 'moving day', and was it ever. Scottie Scheffler went from even par (12 strokes behind the leader) after the first two days of the tournament to 7 under to get back into contention, and is now only 4 strokes behind the leaders. At the beginning of the day Rory McIlroy held a 6 shot lead....the biggest after 36 holes in the history of The Masters, so it appeared he had the tournament well in hand, but that is why they actually play four rounds. At the end of the day Rory had shot a one over par 73, and was tied with Cam Young for first place at 11 under par with a dozen, or more golfers within 6 shots going into the final round. Now it is anyone's match to win on Sunday. By the way, Rory is the defending champion.
We are now 8-9 days away from launch, and have a lot to get done, including a return trip to Los Algodones to get work done on that molar next to the wisdom tooth that was pulled last trip. We'll leave on Wednesday, and hopefully return by Thursday, but if that molar needs a crown, then we may not return until Friday. Personally, I'm hoping for Thursday....lol.
Since TLE and I were confined to the Newell interior Saturday we began sorting through our clothing making three piles.....KEEP, STORE, DONATE. I only had two piles....KEEP and STORE...so far. The second round of sorting begins Sunday morning as the wind event continues unabated. Right now my STORE pile weighs about 10+ pounds.
We both continue to be in good health, and are sleeping around 9 hours a night! It is so quiet here....even quieter than LPG&RVR. I spoke with my friend Bob Longacre who lives at LPG&RVR Saturday evening, and it appears we have new chefs to man the onsite restaurant, so that is really good news.
Thanks for stopping by!
