Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Early morning calls us. We want to be on the road early this morning. We are up and at 'em at 7:00 a.m. We are heading towards the 1000 Islands of New York State, on the St. Lawrence River. We arrive at Merry Knoll campground in Clayton, NY about noontime. We decide not to do anything until we drive back into Watertown and purchase lumber and perhaps some scissor jacks.

Off we head towards Watertown. It is much further down the road than we thought it would be. We find a Walmart, Lowe's, Target and much more. Then we find a place to eat. Nancy does not want to do Chinese, and that is what we find lots of. Well, oh up ahead, what is that? Why it's a Greek restaurant and that is where we go. Good food, nice decor and we are full. From there we head back towards all the shopping. Nancy heads into Target just to shop. Tom decides to sit in the car, knowing that makes Nancy hurry.

From Target we go to the Lowe's. Tom finds lumber and has some of it cut. He will need to make wooden ramps. And we find scissor jacks at Walmart. We are ready to return to campsite and hopefully make our campsite a little more level and the motor home not so rocky.

We arrive back in Clayton and start work. Tom makes wooden ramps and we drive the motor home up and it is still not level, but we are up about 3 inches on one side and 3 ¾ on the other side and it still was not enough, but we would have to make do.

So we raise the new sissor jacks and make ourselves at home.
