Moved from Beaver Creek RV Resort to Otsego Lake County Park

We woke up this morning to more rain. We left Beaver Creek RV Resort this morning with our friends, Al and Symphony, to move to the Otsego Lake County Park about a mile north of Beaver Creek. But before checking in at the County Park we drove over to the Gaylord Truck Wash to have both RVs washed.

Well, this was the first and last time we'll have our RV washed at a truck wash. Mike and Al covered up the open vents on the RVs to keep the water out. We didn't realize until after we parked our RV that water had come in the roof fan in the living area and in the one in the bathroom. The kitchen counter was covered in water and the throw rugs were soaked. After a walk around we saw that some of the decals on the motorhome had some damage. Even though the water pressure for the rinse was reduced, it was still strong enough to cause the leaks and decal damage.  Al and Symphony had water come in through the satellite antenna in their RV. After mopping up the water, we drove over to the County Park to check in.

The 2 spots that we had hoped to get were occupied, so we drove around in Al's car to check out the sites that would be open today. After deciding on the sites that we wanted we drove back to the office and registered. Some tent campers were still on the site that we wanted (check out is at 1 p.m.), so we parked the RVs at the boat ramp parking area and drove to Bob Evans to eat.

When we got back to Otsego Lake County Park campground Al and Mike changed the water filters in the RVs before filling the fresh water tanks. The inside of our water filter cartridge was brown from the water at Beaver Creek. The water at Beaver Creek RV Resort had a lot of iron in it and our water filters turned brown in 3-4 days. We’re hoping the water here isn’t like that. Al and Symphony moved their RV over to their camp site (stopping to fill their fresh water tank first). We're on site #22 next to Symphony and Al and we had to wait for the tent campers to vacate site 22 (they were going to move to another site and had to wait for it to be vacated). Once the tent campers started to move, we moved the RV over to fill our fresh water tank and then on to site 22 where we set up camp.

It's been raining most of the day and the temperature has been dropping. We took the Tinker and Chrissy for a walk around the campground this evening since it had quit raining. It's now 56 and it's supposed to be 50 in the morning.

Tomorrow we're going to do some sightseeing around Gaylord and go to the City park where they have an elk herd.
