7:23 am - Wednesday - April 30th - LPG&RVR - 40° F, humidity 83%, wind 2 mph out of the north....partially cloudy this morning with clearing later this morning, and a forecast high of 68° F. On this date in 2016 TLE and I got our first view of Lake Tahoe as we descended from Spooner Summit into the Lake Tahoe Basin for the third time in as many summers.....
We had a lot to do Tuesday to set up our 'lido deck', and 'dining/gaming deck', but before we began to do any of that work we took our first out and back walk of the summer.....
....we really fell down on our walking this winter, only taking ONE out and back walk while at TWW, so we are determined to get off to a better start this summer. It seemed like just yesterday that we last took this walk, but it has been over 6 months. Surprisingly, to me at least, we did pretty well, although we were stopped three different times by passers by welcoming us back to LPG&RVR....even Glenn, the UPS guy stopped to say high, and welcome us back. That's what I love about a small community! Anyway, we usually cover the 2 miles in about 35 minutes, but on this date, with all the stops, it took us 40 minutes. That will be an easy record to break Wednesday.....lol.
Once back we took the dive and got to work. Every year we've come here we do things a little differently than the year before. We actually parked the trailer about 10' back from the Newell hitch, and parked the Newell closer to the utilities. Over the next few weeks things will continue to evolve, but we have our basic setup complete after a few hours of work......
......I spent the afternoon putting the finishing touches on what TLE and I had done (installed the wheel covers on the Newell and American trailer, installed the rope tie downs for the patio awning, etc.), as well as beginning to organize the trailer interior so I can deploy all of my tools, and turn it into a garage once again. By 2:30 pm I was knackered, and ready for a shower, dinner, and a nap....not necessarily in that order.
We've gotten a lot done on our site in the 2+ days we've been here, and the park is beginning to dry out from the last storm, plus fill up with customers, even though May 1st is the official opening day. On Thursday, May 1st, we'll shift gears and begin our first 4 day work week, and 4th summer here at LPG&RVR.
Thanks for stopping by!
