Well, we had a mishap last night. The wind destroyed our canopy tent. I was in the tent when it blew from over my head and multiple things when flying into the road. I’m lucky I wasn’t hurt. The frame was bent or broken in multiple places so there was no salvaging it and we had to move everything into either the car or the camper. Daniel ordered a new tent on Amazon he thinks will hold up to the wind better.
We spent the day relaxing since we have been on the go for the past several days. It was nice to catch up on laundry and do some cooking. We also explored the campground a little. There is an area where someone made some trails into the woods with solar lights and little decorations. We asked about it in the office. It’s the efforts of a camper who is a veteran and has PTSD. He creates the trails as therapy.

We drove to Dunlap, TN and will be meeting tomorrow with the excavator, Dan Funk, who will put in our septic system and the pad for our house. We have invited Tim to join us and we are excited to see him. The boys know his name so they were excited when we asked if they wanted to see Tim.
Driving through Alabama, we came across some unique names for the waterways we crossed over: Burnt Corn Creek and Murder Creek were my favorites. The south does not mess around when choosing names.

We met Dan Funk at our property to discuss the site for the septic system and the excavation of the site for the house. We have a plan and we feel good about working with Dan. He is going to start clearing the land soon.
It was so good to be on our property again. The boys loved running around off-leash. Tim joined us and it was so good to see him. Peter seemed a little upset when he left as he kept looking down the driveway for him.
We drove back to our campsite in Alabama. We both agree that driving for long periods of time is difficult for us. I don’t know how truckers do it but I’m glad they do – I like my Amazon orders!
