Fri, Nov 9:  Fairview-Riverside SP, Madisonville, LA, to KOA, Milton, FL:  I wanted to get going early this morning because of the impending storm, rain, wind, and cold temps.  And Mike accommodated me.  He is not a morning person, but we were hooked up and heading to the dump station by 8:50.  I drove to just east of Biloxi, MS, and Mike took over.  We stopped at a truck stop in Alabama and fueled up and had some lunch and we continued on.  Arrived at the KOA by 2:00.  We thought we were home free with mechanical issues, but our kitchen slide wouldn’t go out again.  Mike was able to override it and it went out almost all the way, but the left part of the slide wouldn’t go.  So, we called an RV dealer and they came out and put in a new motor but it still wouldn’t go in or out.  Luckily, the slide was 90% out so we can get to everything.  They’re going to come back tomorrow and change out some wires.  Hopefully that will do it.  Anyway, it was 83 when we got here and the cold front moved through and we’re now in the 60s.  Supposed to go down to the 40s tonight.   Where is the warm weather?  We’re here for two nights (not unhooking) and hopefully we’ll leave here on Sunday.
