First Night
Current Temperature: 70° Current location: Manning,SC Walmart Parking Lot Approximately 370 miles from home.

Dry Run
We took the camper for a dry run today to make sure all the adjustments Jim made to the camper and truck work well before we head to Maine in a couple of weeks. We don’t want to get caught with our proverbial camping pants down. We drove from home to Gainesville, stopping for lunch…
