I need a vacation...

A short travel day.  Almost like having the boat on the Erie Canal... except this isn't a boat, there are no locks to go through, and we don't have a free city wall to tie up to.  Yesterday, we made it to the Black Hills; since our reservation at our summer destination doesn't start until today, we stopped about 7 miles south of here.  Then, the storm.

Today, we lounged about, took our time to get ready, then rolled out about 10:30, driving separate...

Wave to Joan in the CR-V back there; she has the cargo trailer behind the Honda.  All the sites at Hart Ranch are back-ins, so we knew we'd be unhooking.  With such a short drive, it was easy for me after we checked in to just pull right into our site.

On the way, one of us had some concerns: "Where's my Momma?"

"She's in the car behind us, Rufus - it's all good."

"OK, I will be the navigator..."

Check in is easy and efficient here.  As planned, I backed into our site.  With the coach in place, I backed the trailer in, then we spent some time rotating that by hand to get it situated where it will be the most handy.  Now, the real work begins: getting the motorhome set up for a lengthy stay, get stuff unloaded and rearranged in the cargo trailer, get the scoots unstrapped... kinda the reverse of all the work (except loading our things into the coach) we did to get to roll.

The resort is hoppin'.  Lots of families here... not sure how this plays out for "the holiday weekend," with the 4th of July being on Wednesday.  We are about as far away from the clubhouse, restaurant, swimming pool, and other activities as you can get... by choice.  We have a nice corner site; the RV sites here are larger than most RV parks; the utilities are laid out with modern RVs in mind.  We really like this place...

You may have notice that the sky is looking kinda gray in that photo above.  Yep, there is a chance of thunderstorms again today and this evening - but they are not predicted to be severe like some areas around here got yesterday.  We did keep an eye on that sky while we were getting set up... scurrying, actually.  Now, I could use some kick back time.

The forecast for the next 7 days sounds dry and warm... there will be some scooting!
