Our first day out. We left 15 minutes ahead of time, but somehow the minutes kept slipping by. Our GPS said that our expected arrival time was about 3:30, then 4:00, then 4:30, then after the start of happy hour. Well so much for conservative driving...pedal to the medal. Even with two construction site (with no construction) we pulled into our hidy-hole at 4:58...phew.
Just before we left, our inverter (the thing that converts the 12 volts DC to 120 volts AC) died. After much scrambling and some vehicle modifications, it was installed 12 hours before departure. The new inverter is 25 years newer than the old one. One big change is a small little fan that comes on and goes off randomly, especially at night. It sort of like a purring kitty, or an annoying fly, depending on your point of view. Hopefully, I will get used to it.
We arrived so late that we had no time to explore until the morning. We took a short hike that was not very strenuous...well, actually labeled “wheelchair” access. We saw Stone Mountain which was quite impressive.
