Made it to Brandon in 8½ hours, in spite of Washington rush hour traffic and a couple of construction zone delays. After visiting the bank and grocery, was at Fern Lake in one minute less than nine hours. Weather steadily improved as I came north… a gorgeous sunny day once past New Jersey. The temperature inside the RV registered 84 degrees when I opened up camp. Had cleverly put the bathroom Kleenex in a cabinet the mouse (mice?) couldn’t get into. Checked and, sure enough, the Kleenex was undisturbed. After patting myself on the back, discovered ample evidence that I had forgotten to put away the bedroom Kleenex box… Once the usual unloading and stowing routine was done, took the thermometer down to the dock to see about the water temperature. 73 degrees!!!! Splash went the new steps and awwwwwww went yours truly.
