Our destination was entered into the GPS's before we departed yesterday and we decided to follow the directions that were in Josie's GPS in the Jeep. The truck GPS once again had a different route and it indicated a much later arrival time so we knew that it was taking us out of the way. I will get those maps updated before we head out on a new trip with the truck. The only problem we had was we neglected to put our radios on the charger Sunday night and they ran out of charge about one hour into the trip. I have a small, plug-in inverter in the truck that I used to charge them so we lost only about one hour of use, and then we were fine.
We left at 10 AM and ran into rain about halfway there. It rained harder as we got closer to Columbia until it was a steady downpour when we arrived at 3 PM. They have put us into a temporary site until the rain stops and we will then be moved into our permanent site which is is a little higher in the campground. The rain is forecast again today, with clearing to begin tomorrow.
After we set up our fifth wheel and got the satellite up for our TV, we went to the office to talk to Bill, the owner. We will start working this morning at 9 AM even though we don't have an official schedule yet. Bill wants to get us started by getting familiar with everything so we aren't sure yet how long we will work today. He indicated before that he would probably have us working 4 eight hour days every week with 3 days off. That works fine with us.
We checked out the main grocery store in the area, a Safeway in Sonora. It is a huge and very complete Safeway and it's nice to know it is only a few miles away. We are looking forward to discovering all that the area has to offer...
