We have had a few busy days here with Spencer, seeing the sights at the Fort.  Lou and I  have been here before and it really has not changed much since our last visit.  

They have had lots and lots of rain prior to our arrival, in fact where our RV was sitting, that had been under water and the flooding debris was still there, the camp ground workers were busy at work trying to remove  it and to freshen up the area.  Many whole trees had come down the creek and were being pulled out with heavy equipment.

The ducks and geese seemed to be comfortable with the water and were happily swimming along with the high water and the kids were back to fishing in the fishing pools.

We took advantage of several of the local restaurants and had really good meals.  Lou and I took advantage of the huge PX and commissary, I purchased pork roasts for $.97 per pound and 93% fat free hamburg for $2.87 per pound, brand name cereal for $2.00 a box, we filled our freezer and our trunk full.  We usually do that on our way home from Florida; however not going this year, we didn't get to do that this year.

Yesterday Brion and Janet left to return home, and Lou and I got the RV cleaned up, did all of the laundry, took a walk in the woods and I fixed a dinner of home made lasagna, tossed salad, garlic bread, blueberry bars with vanilla ice cream. and we enjoyed a Clint Eastwood movie, before a hot shower and bed.

Today we have driven 338 miles and are spending the night in Johnson City, TN.  Tomorrow we are going to have to find a Ford garage, as we do not have any A/C in o
