The day started with dense fog all along the Florida panhandle, and our location in Quincy, FL was no exception. We knew we had plenty of time to make the drive to Summerdale, AL with the time change, so we didn't plan to leave until about 10 A.M. However, when we tried to pull the full wall slide in, there were some ominous noises and the back end of the slide wouldn't move in. We had a similar problem in October 2013, and can't move unless the slides are in, so a call to our Roadside Assistance plan sent a mobile tech to our aid. After one failed attempt, he was able to help get the slide in so we could travel.
We pulled away about 12:30 P.M. EST, stopped for lunch and fuel, and arrived at Rainbow Plantation near Summerdale, AL around 4 P.M. CST. Rainbow Plantation is an Escapees campground, with many full-time residents in homes and RV's on deeded lots, as well as space for transient campers. The sites are large with good hookups, and everyone is very friendly. We stayed here last February and have friends who live here sll year, including one who loves to play pool as much as Hank does. During the winter season, the facility's busiest time, there are lots of organized activities, so there's plenty of things to do if you want to participate. Hank will chalk up his cue stick tonight!
We have an appointment at the local RV repair shop tomorrow morning to get a diagnosis on Little House's slide problem. We'll be staying here until Dec. 17 when we'll head toward Kentucky.
