Settling in

We arrived here in Lake George on Thursday.  We had to wait to get into our assigned site because there was a rental trailer that maintenance had to move.  They got the trailer pulled out around 2:30 and we were then able to get started.  We had purchased some boards for under our tires the day before at Lowes so that was the first step. (We like to do this whenever we are going to be somewhere for this extended length of time) The site is very level already so we really just needed to put our jacks down to stabilize us.
Once we were level and the slides extended, Ed goes about fixing the outside and I start on the inside.  Since we are going to be here for 4 months, we put everything up.  The awning comes out and is tied down…we even have the first arm of the awning down so we are not hitting it as we go in and out the door.  We are thinking about putting out our lights also.  We also had to use our portable dish since we have a lot of trees around us.  But we were not going to go all summer without our direct tv since we have purchased MLB for the summer.
Once I get everything set up, I will take some pictures.  Also want to get some plants but think I will wait a bit for those.  They are calling for snow showers tomorrow night!!
We have been familiarizing ourselves with the area.  Warrensburg is a very small town, they have a grocery store, hardware store and a sporting general store (hunting and fishing).  But about 25 miles away is a Walmart and we found a Super K Mart.  Never been in one of those.  They had groceries, and the normal K mart items and also sold appliances!

Today we went and had a great visit with my uncle.  He’s one of the reasons we took this job and we are hoping that we can spend a lot of time visiting.
I start work on Monday.  If the weather is good tomorrow (not raining) I will try to get some pictures of the campground and the river.

  1. Sounds like you guys are ready for your extended stay. I'm not sure I could handle four months in one place yet. Hitch itch takes over. But it's neat you get to spend time with family.
