Tuesday, May 16. Brookside KOA. Once we got our tent set up this afternoon, the plan was to plop our laundry in a washer and plop ourselves in the KOA's heated, outdoor pool. The water in the pool was just a little too cold, and the afternoon had cooled off too, so we chickened out and headed back to the laundry to watch our clothes spin. And that's where we met Carol.
Carol and her husband John are full-time RV'ers, having sold their home in San Clemente, CA in 2005. They haul a 5th-wheel trailer behind an SUV, and are out to see America. We got to chatting, and Carol invited us back to their trailer to meet John. This was pretty heroic on her part, since not only didn't she know us from Adam, but we were sitting around the laundry room in our bathing suits. And neither of us had taken showers yet!
Well, if she's up for it, so are we. We knocked on their door around 8pm, and spent a couple of hours talking with John and Carol about their trips and our trip. It was a real pleasure to meet them, and before we left for the night they were gracious enough to pose for a picture. I hope they'll keep up with our blog--and hopefully John will get his pictures uploaded to his Flickr account soon. Carol and John, If you're reading this, it was lots of fun meeting and visiting with you!
Our kampsite appears to be a favorite with the local (read tame) ducks. One of them came over and stood toe-to-toe with Matthew while he took it's picture. Wish I'd had a camera.
