This is a quick shake down trip that will let us sort out any issues from the bus sitting so long.\u00a0 We are relatively close to home and chose this campground since it had full hookup (more about that later).\u00a0<\/p>\n
We had planned to drive to the Sterling rest area which had a full dump system, but that would have been 150 miles each way and we did not want to spend the time or fuel dollars.\u00a0 We decided to stay here for a couple of nights.\u00a0 We are dog sitting Benny, but he is used to the bus and has done fine.<\/p>\n
While I have encountered a few small problems, I have resolved most of them.\u00a0 The big issue was the black\/gray\/fresh water systems.\u00a0 I am not good about recording when I dump and I had lost track of how full the black tank was.\u00a0 Turns out we must have emptied it on our last trip (not counting the traumatic trip to Guffey where Pat was badly injured and we did not spend a night in the bus).\u00a0 The gray water tank has a manual site gauge on it, so I knew where we were there and it was not big deal.\u00a0 The most problematic tank was the fresh water tank.\u00a0 The water in that tank had been sitting for a couple of years.\u00a0 While I keep a fair amount of chlorine in the tank, it quite obviously needed to be drained and flushed.\u00a0 Having full hookups here allowed me to get all the tanks squared away.<\/p>\n

This is a great camping spot.\u00a0 The other campers are several yards away and we have a full view to the south.\u00a0 The fun part of this spot is that it it very close to the RC Plane field and we got to watch lots of aerobatic flying including some model jets.<\/p>\n
In a bit over a week we will head to Dillon to spend a few days with the Bergmans.<\/p>\n
That is all for this trip.<\/p>\n
