Thousand Trails Orlando 2018

     We where at Thousand Trails called Orlando but is actually in Clermont, but is about 8 miles from town. It is a very large park with over 700 sites . We where there for 13 days.
     RV,er's are the best.  We could not receive any over the air TV. Problem was a connection to our antenna and the cable connection . Our neighbor happen to notice our delemium and said I have one of those connection. Well sure enough he did, and solved our problem . My problem was he wouldn't take anything for the connector and his help, seans he had the same problem. Pass it on would be his payment. RVer's helping RVer's.
.     Today we took a drive to the small town of Center Hill Florida . The reason for the trip was to order a sun screen for our awning . There is a manufacturer there that makes sunshades, grass mats and windshield covers. We had been to their own in the past and knew the general location . The town is very small so it wasn't to difficult to locate. It is very old Florida. The dealer will bring the finished screen to the Webster flea market for us to pick up on Monday . We would have gone this past Monday except we had a problem.
     The problem was a pair of bad batteries. So we rolled up our sleeves and went to work, first taking a photo of the wiring before removing the old batteries. Unfortunately we couldn't locate any near our location . Located two at Sam's Club about eighteen miles away. So we loaded up the two old batteries in our car. If you don't have a old core, as they refer to our old batteries, there is a eighteen dollar charge for each battery . You can always bring back the old batteries at a later date for a refund of eighteen dollars. After installing the new batteries we chilled for the rest of the day . For my safety I better make sure we get to the Webster flea market on Monday or Linda will have my head . She loves flea markets almost as much as murals. Also I do have to pick up our new sunscreen we ordered. This is a super large flea market that is only opened one day. For any of you who ever attended this market know you can not cover it in one day, unless you speed walk thru and don't really look at anything. I'm sure there is something there for everyone, if you look hard enough. Well the flea market done we return to our RV.
     We have a very roomy site, as far as most commercial RV parks especially the size of this one. With over 700 sites it is huge. Not all the sites are big, but we lucked out in choosing a nice site. There is no privacy between sites. We have a fairly new picnic table and "new" electric hookup. The only problem was goat head stickers in some places in the grass. Didn't bother Hannah at all, but I always seem to wind up with them in my soaks. Many, many amenities. See older post about this campground.
     Now that I found a way to include photos, I'll be working to include some in our blog. But, and this is a big but I can't find a way to adjust the quality of them. I like to crop, lighten, straighten and the like so I can include a nicer photo . Hopefully you'll see photos soon . With Linda's lost camera and using an older camera and our phones the picture quality is not as good as I would like.








    

The wheels are turning, Bulow RV Resort, Flagler Beach FL October 2018

     Well it has been a little over five months since I last updated our blog. We have both been on the mend. Still a little work to be completed on our seawall after the damage from hurricane Irma a little over a year ago. We finally put together two weeks to get away. It has been 13 months since we used our RV.  So we traveled 88 miles to Flagler Beach, just wanted to get away. We stayed at Bulow RV resort. It is part of our Thousand Trails membership. It is part of the new Trails Collection. More on the RV park in another post. What we didn't know was this was Biketoberfest week in Daytona Beach, about fifteen miles south of Flagler Beach. I was surprised we were able to procure  a site. But no less we got a full hookup premium site. The park was full. Almost every site had at least one motorcycle parked at it. We decided to just stay put till the weekend was over. Could not believe how many cycles were here. Sorry for the lack of pictures, as my photographer forgot her camera. Can you believe. Brought all the accessories, but no camera. So we will only be taking pictures with our phones.  Well the truth be known, the camera is lost.           
     On Tuesday we took a trip to Palatka . It was a nice ride of about 35 miles. Linda heard about the mural trail. She was all in. So we loaded up Hannah along with some extra water. We looked up the location of the visitor center. Guess what, It was closed.  We spot a few murals down the street. So we checked them out. We found the Chamber Of Commerce and Linda procured a brochure of all the murals. Off we go in search of all the murals. A note here, all the murals are in great condition. We did find all the murals on the map, plus one that wasn't. We didn't go into any of the indoor location where there were a few more. Linda had a smile from ear to ear.
     She didn't realize it was passed lunch time for me. I read about the oldest dinner in Florida. We found the dinner and they had outdoor seating, where we could park next to a table to keep an eye on Hannah. Some unusual items on the menu, like a black bottom. A mix of hamburger meat, bacon and egg ( a dinner favorite). Also gizzards, made several ways. We passed on both even though I like gizzards. It was just the overall atmosphere of the place that subjected just a burger. Pictures of the murals will follow, as they were all taken with our phones and some will need editing. We did drive around town and checked out some of the old historic homes. Then it was back to the RV. It was a fun day.
     Well, no pictures as promised. Seems Google claims we don't have an account. Yet here I am writing on a Google Blog, also coming to you on a Google address. Hopefully I can get it straighten out.
      Help, is there any other way I can upload photo's to my blog? This may be the end of my blog with Google. I was told they no longer support Picasso. I am no computer genius (geek). So keep it simple if you can supply information.
       Go to www.conleemurals.org and look for the tour guide for pictures of all the murals and information on each.

     Thanks for following along.
