ANCIENT VIKING CAMPGROUND

ANCIENT VIKING CAMPGROUND
August 19: Stoughton, Wisconsin. From under the Bounder's awning you will see a glimpse of this beautiful campground that has actual remnant buildings of a Lutheran orphanage that was founded in 1889. We are near Baker and Laura's home about 6 miles from here. An exciting portion of the adventure developed when the Bounder's outside door decided to lock itself and refused to budge open until the 123rd try. A trained RV repair person is on the way to work on the latch. Please give me credit for not attempting self repairs. Janis says we could get in through a window if necessary. I'm not so sure about me.

We didn't do it (we're pretty sure)

Nice RV washing guy fortunately discovered cut in roof excitingly before major storm moved into area. He provided quite adequate duct tape patch before we could purchase and apply slightly more permanent fix the following morning. This enforces the well-observed adage, "Go nowhere, do nothing without serviceable duct tape supply close at hand." This morning, wife has reported that error in refrigerator temp. setting has produced frosty fruit syndrome.

Mark, Diane gave me your blog address so I will be following your adventures in your new motorhome. I am envious, I wish I could get Linda interested in traveling by motorhome. Have fun in FL this winter. We may get down to see Diane & Jay in March if possible.
