We awoke Sunday morning to a brisk chilly 25F in Spartanburg, SC. Met a fellow Airstream couple (1964 Airstream) who were working at the park and we compared stories about our trailers. About Noon we headed SW to Atlanta and arrived Stone Mountain, Ga at 3:30 PM where we checked in to a lovely campsite in the woods next to a stream overlooking Stone Mountain. Settled in and then headed to my Uncle Charles’ home to visit with him. He is 88 and has the mind of a 40 year old. Hope the genes carry forward... He had prepared a lovely dinner and we had a great time reminiscing about Family.
Awoke this morning (Monday) to a cold trailer (50F) as the heat pump was not working. No electric!? Trudged outside to electric source: no power. Finally advised all power is down in the entire camp area: Georgia Power problem. No coffee! So we headed back to my Uncle’s home for coffee and breakfast.
We were able to move our appointment for the truck sensor up to Monday afternoon as opposed to Tuesday. And this afternoon they called to advise that it had a defective indirect injector in the engine. Thank goodness for warranties. The injector is on order for arrival tomorrow so they hope to have truck ready by Wednesday. In the interim, we are using my Uncle’s car to commute between his home and Stone Mountain. We all went to the DeKalb Farmers Market this afternoon. We had a great time shopping for fresh veggies, as well as some loose teas and spices to take to Arizona.
Our plan is to depart for Mississippi Thursday AM. We’ve driven 833 miles/3 days so far and have over 1800 miles to go. We need to be in Phoenix by next Wednesday so that means we need to average at least 300 miles each day.
Tonight, the electric is back on and its 60F at the campsite – a little different than Annandale, NJ. Rain is expected tomorrow here in the Atlanta area.
