South Carolina, Hollywood - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - Lake Aire RV Park


We plan to try to leave early in the morning.  It was dry yesterday and today so we are hoping that the ground is firm enough for us to get out of our site.  Keep your fingers crossed for us tomorrow.
If this week was our vacation I would have been really upset.  But, since this is our life, it was just a little blip.  I know the weather had a lot to do with it, but this campground is definitely not going to be on the list of those we recommend.

From here we will be headed to Pohick Bay Regional Park in Lorton, VA which will be just about 12 miles from daughter Robyn and her family.  Last year when we stayed in the area the place we stayed was across the city from them.  City being Washington D.C., it was an hour drive in heavy traffic to get back and forth.  We are hoping this new place will be a better choice.
After we leave Washington, D.C. we are going to have to head back to Indiana – Elkhart to be exact.  For those of you who live in an RV, you know that means we need a repair L.  When we were in Indiana in July, Greg made a repair to the roof, unfortunately that repair didn’t hold once we started moving and what seems to be the problem is something he can’t fix.  It looks like the roof panel curves over the side of the coach and goes down behind a panel that covers the side.  Those panels have separated in an area at the rear on the passenger side.

With all the rain we had this week, it became evident that we had a problem.  On Tuesday there was a break in the rain so we went out to make temporary repairs.  We pulled a very heavy waterlogged wooden picnic table to the side of the coach and put our step ladder on top of it in order to reach the roof.  My “safety background” alert was going off, but all went well.  There was no way we could have stood a ladder on the ground, it would have sunk in.  We had some repair tape that Greg used to cover the area and it didn’t seem to leak during the afternoon storms that day.
