Friday 4-6 Rainy Day

It rained all day

We have started our third week on the road. 

We woke up to rain, the weather forecast had predicted rain but it wasn't suppose to be in until the afternoon. If we had known it was coming in earlier we probably would have checked into the State Park last night. That's ok, we hung around the Home Depot parking lot until the rain slowed down then we went to a laundromat called Suds and Bubbles to do laundry. A rainy day is perfect for doing laundry. The laundromat was old but well kept up. It was also expensive, a small front loader cost $3.25 to wash and a large front loader cost $4.75. The dryers were $.50 for eight minutes. We were there a little over an hour.

Our destination for the weekend was The Old Fort State Archaeological Park. A few days ago Larry knew the rain was on its way so he checked on the web and discovered the state parks were almost entirely booked, he made a reservation so we would be sure to have a spot. When we arrived the office was closed but there was a note indicating if you had a reservation you could go to your site and enjoy your stay. We found our site and setup the Minnie for the weekend.

The rain had stopped for a bit so we went for walk around the campground and to the park museum building. We walked around for a short time considering the weather forecast said the rain was going to start back up at 1:00 and it was already noon. While at the museum building we saw the waterfalls on Duck River. After taking a few pictures we headed back to the campground.

When we got back I did a little housework and swept out the Minnie. While I was doing this Larry went over and took a shower. When I finished I went over and took a shower. About 1:30 the rain came back, the weather forecast was real close. The rain continued the rest of the day. We spent the rest of the day and evening in the Minnie reading.  

Reading is fun
