Again another cool night, ideal for cooling the trailer down and making sleep easy. Again we woke to a beautiful sunny morning. After our usual morning rituals we headed out to Foley to a park downtown that has a rose walk, combined with a number of geo-caches along the route. The start of the walk is at the old railway station and heads north for about 3/4 mile. Very soon after the start there construction right on the walkway, it turns out that the town is about to celebrate its 100th anniversary of incorporation (you’ve got to love these old towns!) and they are building a 32 bell bell-tower in celebration.
Most of the roses along the walk were no longer flowering, but there were a few late bloomers evident. Likewise most of the geo-caches along the route were not there either. Out of the five we looked for only two were found. We didn’t feel too bad as two of those we didn’t find hadn’t been found by a number of people before us. Given the popularity of the area they had probably been accidentally discovered and removed.
On the way home we stopped off to top up on our food supplies, then we stopped at the office to finalise our departure date and also book in for three nights when we come back down in January. For those of you who don’t know, we are finally going to take the trailer on the road next year. Starting in January we will head towards Arizona and over the next few years head to the Pacific coast and then north to Washington state. After that we will continue to tour and probably finish up back in Georgia or Alabama and find a permanent site.
Back at the trailer it was time for lunch and an afternoon of sitting out side doing (practically) nothing. My problem is I can’t do nothing for too long, so I found a couple of odd jobs that needed doing just to keep me sane(ish).
There is still one major job that needs doing, the annual washing and waxing of the trailer, but I am putting that off for a few more days yet.
