waiting on the new countertop to come in so we can install it. Friday we ran some errands and cleaned up the dust in the house.
Our photos are from the LaPorte hamfest. The first one is our motor home set up ready to do business. It was cool and rainy so I decided to work inside and not get the engraver or the computer wet, if it should come up a shower. There were a few vendors left on Sunday morning and Evelyn got a shot of the inside of the garage showing the shelves and the collection of radio equipment. Now this is really nice stuff and desirable to most in the
Ham community. You may think it just looks like junk, and maybe some of it is, but it is items that are desirable for your collection of "stuff". Now understand, I do not have any of that stuff, any more, since moving into a motor home. Maybe I did have some, but it is mostly all gone and out of my life of today. I still have a couple of 2M/70cm radios and only 1 hf rig, but I can still talk to a lot of people with my screwdriver antenna on the back of the motor home.
Saturday, we took off in the van and checked out the campground in Chesterfield, IN. It looks like something we could use, fairly flat and accessible. We had some business to take care of in Winchester, IN. and then we came back across US36 and stopped at the Walnut Ridge campground to check it out. It is a beautiful campground with lots of trees, but not accessible for me at all. There were a few sites we could use, but they did not have any with sewer connections which means every 10 days or so you have to move the unit to the dump station or manually use a "blue boy" to haul your waste to the dump station. Not something we want to do on a regular basis. We may need someplace to stay next summer, if we are back in this area. The Handicapped Travel Club rally may be in Oregon and if so, if it is during the summer months we may not come back this way. If it is in the fall, we may come back for a month or two and will locate at one of these campgrounds. So time will tell what our plans will be for next year.
