Finally, after what seems like FOREVER, we've gotten back on the road, albeit temporarily. We headed out early, opting for the southern route around Lake Okeechobee, with quick stops at Tractor Supply for supplies for the horses, lunch and fuel along the way. We arrived just after 1:00, quickly finding a nice spot to set up. This campground is essentially a field around a number of buildings and a parking lot, so aesthetically it's far from the prettiest place we've ever been, but it has a long row of corrals along each side, and a number of highline posts along the back. We opted for a corral large enough for both our horses to share, and parked under a couple of trees, hoping the shade would keep things from getting to hot, as the forecast is calling for warmer than normal temps here (while there's a massive blizzard heading toward New England, tee hee). We spent the afternoon working on various projects before settling in for the evening. Our new trailer has a much larger inverter system, so that we only need to run the generator for a couple of hours in order for it to charge the battery enough to last us all night, at leas that's what we hope. The purpose of the trip is to be a shakedown cruise, to make sure everything works properly, as we have a mechanic from the RV place coming to us next week to make some warranty repairs, and we needed to make sure we'd found everything that needed fixing. More things than I want to admit, but we're going to make sure they're taken care of before we start having to repair things on our own! We were both tired from our early morning, and were in bed by 10:00, first time that early in a very long time!
