COVID-19 Curtailed Our Travels

Hi Folks,
It has been almost 4 months since I penned a blog.  We did give the talk on CARE and had a good response.  We were both shocked that everyone seemed to pay attention and enjoyed the information we presented.  The Virus curtailed all of our travel as everything we had planned was cancelled.   We had planned on being on our way to Escapade now, but National Headquarters, wisely cancelled the event to protect our members.  We were going to go to HamVention in Dayton, but that  was also cancelled, so we stayed at Sumter Oaks until 19 May on our ERPU lot.  Thank goodness we had that so we did not have to search for a place to stay during this strenuous time.  We had made some medical appointments in the Jacksonville ares in April, but had to postpone them, so we finally moved the house from Sumter Oaks in Bushnell, FL to Clay Fair RV Park at the Clay County Fairgrounds in Green Cove Springs, FL. on 19 May and will be here until 18 June when we will head back to Sumter Oaks RV Park in Bushnell, FL.  We were able to reschedule our medical appointments except our dental as they could not get us in while we were to be here.
All that being said, it is obvious that we have not done much except visit with the kids and get our medical appointments completed.  I am including a couple of photos of the fairgrounds RV park.






We have LOTS of rain since we have been here.  So much so that one of our jacks, even with a pad, keeps sinking in the grass.  The new antenna needs the grounds redone, but there is a ditch behind the coach, so, even though we got a new ladder, I'm not going to try to use it in the ditch.  It is very wet here, so I'm not going to lay under the coach to work on the lower section of the grounds, so I guess I'll have to wait until we get back to Sumter Oaks.
Anyway, as I said before, not much to blog about, so I'll let you all go.  Travel safe and I'll write more later.
