Monday, June 20th and nearing Solstice, we are taking care of mundane matters such as replacing our water pump in the Escape and servicing the Tacoma. Thus, we have opportunity to enjoy the wireless connection and waiting room at the Toyota place in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I think this is one of the largest urban areas we are visited on the trip. The park we are staying in has about 100 spaces and specializes in attracting families with children with many different blow up structures, water sports and all sorts of jumping/bouncing actives. The spaces are amazingly close. We look out our windows and see huge 5th wheels looming up instead of pines and lakes but it was only 5 minutes from the RV place and about 15 minutes from the Toyota place also. So you could say it met criteria. Boring.
We found that with the close spaces, it was very easy to meet and talk to the neighbors. A couple came over that was renting a 31 foot trailer across the way from us. They were very interested in the Escape. First the wife came to visit and later she brought her husband to take a tour. They were in Grand Rapids to sponsor their 15 year old grandson in basketball camp. Delightful couple who are just a couple of years from retirement. Today was all about sometimes you have to just take care of the wash so you have underwear for the next part of the trip. In this case, it was taking care of vehicle business and tomorrow we pick up for the 2nd half of our adventure. Weather was only in the 80's today but a thunderstorm this afternoon that made it so humid. Had to run the air conditioner for the first time. Stay well all!
