MacDill Air Force Base




Mac Dill Air Force Base

March 15th - Sunny Beautiful Blue Skies - High 76 degrees

We arrived here about 4:00 yesterday afternoon and were assigned a temporary campsite with water and electricity. We quickly set up camp and made a quick trip to the car wash and the commissary for some food for dinner. I don’t know what happened to our car, but it looked like someone threw lime and water all over it, the car wash helped it, but it needs a serious wash and wax as soon as we have some time.

We really have a lovely campsite that I would like to keep; however, we don’t have a sewer hookup, so will need to move. The pictures that I have posted are from this campsite.

Lou and I enjoyed a special on Public Television on the music of the 50’s last night and when it was over we drove over to the shower house and enjoyed a long hot shower and our bed really felt good last evening. Think we were really tired out from our weekend and the travel. Will be good to catch up.

Looks like we will spend tomorrow in Camping World for repairs ----- The office here at MacDill called today and told us they had a permanent site for a month for us and we could move, so we got packed up and Lou went to put in the slides and the slide on the driver side would not go in, we ended up calling for repairs and someone will come out in the morning to manually put the slide in then we will need to go in to have the problem taken care of, so we unpacked and went back to the office to keep the spot where we are for another night and then go to the new site.

Lou did have a nice surprise this afternoon, two men he used to fly with, came over to visit with him this evening, the stories really flew and both of them promised to return in the morning to see if they could help with the problem. Always good to have friends around.

More on all of the later. We have limited access to the internet here.
