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.

Storms near Tampa you may have heard about on the national news today were horrendous and nearly brought I-75 traffic to a standstill. GrandJan bravely forged ahead behind the wheel. A very tight fueling stop almost (within 2") caused the first car unhook requirement. Here now safe at Alachua, (Gainesville) FL and hoping to make Fort Walton Beach tomorrow under much better traveling conditions.

Arrived uneventfully in downtown Bonita Springs, Florida. Here until the end of March. Thus far we have seen Danny and Jo Dove pulling into a Publix parking lot as we were pulling out, and the lady who teaches yoga and Pilates classes here at the RV resort is from Greenup, more specifically Wurtland, Kentucky.
