Monday we left Mahlon and drove to the Mystic Campground in Stonington, CT, where we stayed for two nights in order to visit with cousin, Tina, who lives right over the state line in Westerly, RI. Tina purchased a new home in May, which is very nice and beautifully decorated. We had dinner there Monday night and met her friend, Bob. The next day, Tee and I drove to Madison, CT, to visit with her daughter, daughter-in-law, and 3 of her 7 grandchildren who are too young to be in school. Bob had made an appointment to get the truck oil changed, and while at the service station, found out the water pump had gone bad. Although it was very expensive to get it fixed, it would have been worse to have it go out while we were on the road. Later in the evening, we returned to Tina's for yet another tasty dinner.
Wednesday morning we took off and stopped at a non-descript park called Falling Waters in West Virginia which served its purpose...a night's rest. This morning, we decided to shoot for Anderson, SC, over 500 miles away, where the temps would not go much below freezing. We had already made reservations at Twin Lakes, an Army Corp of Engineer park on Lake Hartwell, for Friday thru Sunday, but we were able to get in one day earlier.
