Leaving Hidden Ridge

Hopkins, MI    High:  67   Low: 47   Rain, rain, go away....

Well, phooey! Our last day at Hidden Ridge after we got back from Harsens Island was spent indoors avoiding the rain...Steady, all afternoon into the evening kind of rain...The kind of rain you just kick off your shoes, prop yourself up on the sofa and surf the day away (on the internet) or read....or nap.....

Sparky did laundry and visited the clubhouse one last time while waiting for it to dry. This is the media room in the clubhouse at Hidden Ridge. Across from Sparky are wall to ceiling oak bookshelves filled with books of all kinds. A great place for a rainy day....Sparky had it all to herself for a long while....

Eldo researched a new program that we read about in Motorhome Magazine that says it will give you a radius of travel distance if you input some data like mph and hours you want to drive. We found it under the phrase "How Far Can You Travel?" under the website domain of Freemaptools.com.   It's based out of the United Kingdom and so there are some variables that would have to change for U.S. users, like kilometers to miles. It's very plain vanilla, but might be of use to RVers?  Eldy's not sure about it. It will take him some time to try it out and see if it's something he might use.

We spent the rest of the day reading blogs, watching the comings and goings of rigs in the park, and getting ready to pack up to leave tomorrow for Elkhart, IN, Eldy's hometown. We are planning to be there for almost a month, if we last that long! Red Bay is in our future after Elkhart, so we may cut the month short and head down sooner.....We'll see what Eldo decides.....
