FOUNTAIN, FL THEN ON TO ORLANDO!

The time spent at St. Andrews State Park looking out over the Grand Lagoon was most enjoyable.  We also spent time on Sky Med Business in the area and did some exploring of our surroundings.  Our stay was over on Monday, Feb.1, and we drove about an hour north of Panama City Beach to Pine Lake RV Park in Fountain, FL.  There's not much to talk about regarding Fountain, FL,  other than it's a little community in the northern Florida panhandle.  Our two-night stay at Pine Lake with full hookups  gave us a chance to empty tanks, and catch up on laundry and computer work before moving on.

Wednesday morning, we left Pine Lake at 8:40 CST for the 325 mile drive to Orlando back in the eastern time zone.  That's more miles than we normally tackle in one day, but we were headed to the Cummins Power South and wanted to get signed in for service early Thursday morning. 
 









  
 This repair facility handles issues on a variety of vehicles with Cummins diesel engines - motor homes, fire engines, buses, construction equipment and also service Onan generators. On a few occasions, we've had an intermittent problem with restricted power from the diesel engine..  On our last trip to the panhandle, after checking with the Cummins center in Ocala, we had another occurrence when we left Perry,FL, so we'll have that potential problem looked  at while we're here.  This Cummins location has 4 free  RV parking spots with electrical and water hookups. There's a parking lot view of all types of vehicles through our front window,   but we do have a nice lake behind us that is suppose to have lots of fish in it. Work is done on a first come basis, and they are overloaded with customers.  We're due to  check  into the Florida Central Fairground in Orlando next Wednesday for a large ham radio event, but if our service doesn't  get done  in time, we may have to keep Little House here and  do day trips to the fairgrounds which is only a short distance away. 

Yesterday was Selene's birthday, and we had a great dinner at Olive Garden to finish out our long travel day.  When we arrived here yesterday, it was 79, but with a front coming through this afternoon with heavy rain, the next week is predicted to be much cooler.
