Sunday October 5
October 5 Sunday….yet again at Mercer, PA
After a very, very leisurely start we got stuck in and finished polishing the van, seemed to take longer than expected. We had brought with us from NZ a precut sign for RUAKIWI, intended for the front of the van, but had never put it on! So today was the day….caused Ian quite a bit of grief trying to get it to fit okay as the front panel had a curve in it. Anyway she looks great and shining like a bright star.
Decided to stay in this camp for another night as the facilites were very good. Late afternoon we popped 3 miles down the road to a huge Outlet mall…hundreds of name brand stalls. Decided we needed to buy a new suitcase for the trip home…seem to have accumulated quite a bit of “stuff” during the past 3 months. The Samsonite store had a huge selection, and got a very good bag that has a hard base, but a collapsible top that will be ideal for storing in Ruakiwi. After a stop in Grove City for supplies we were back at camp in Mercer. Not a day for photos…again! Getting twitchy fingers!
