A Quiet Labor Day Weekend

We had more RVs arrive here at the campground yesterday. Mike drove up to the dumpsters by Loop A yesterday afternoon and said it was about 40% occupied. We're in Loop B and it's about 90% occupied.

The water pressure here is about 35 psi and we use our onboard water when we take a shower or when I wash dishes so we have decent water pressure. Matter of fact, we've had low water pressure at most of the campgrounds we've stayed at here in Virginia.

Yesterday afternoon around 4:00 we started experiencing low voltage. Our Energy Management system would cut off the power to the RV so our electrical systems wouldn't be damaged by the low voltage. This lasted for about 3 hours and then by 8:00 the voltage was back up and we didn't have any more problems during the night.

We spent Saturday and today here at the RV just relaxing. We did drive into Rustburg this afternoon to do some shopping at the Food Lion there and to mail the postcards we bought at Patrick Henry's House. We took Tinker with us to Rustburg and he and Mike stayed out in the car while I went shopping.

When we left Rustburg and were driving back east to the campground, we saw a large dark cloud in the direction of the campground. It started sprinkling just as we parked the car at our campsite. We had just unloaded the groceries and Mike had walked Tinker when it really started to rain.

We had a good rain this afternoon and it washed the road dust off of the car. Our campsite is on the corner of 2 roads in the campground, so the car gets a lot of dust from the golf cart and vehicle traffic.

By 4:00 the rain was over and the sun was out. We didn't have any problems tonight with low voltage like we did yesterday. Several RVs left our loop today so that may have helped with the electricity usage.

It started raining while I was writing this, but it isn't as heavy a rain as we had this afternoon. It'll still wash some of the dust off of the car and motor home.

We're planning on driving over to Appomattox Court House tomorrow. We visited there about 20 years ago and we're looking forward to seeing it again.
