Summer Season had ended!

On Friday the 24th we headed up to the lake to close up the Ti. We were lucky to have the fluke 30 degree celcius weather, so instead of worrying about heating the trailer fot the night - all we had to do was open the windows and let the warm air inside. What a treat to sit out on our deck in the sun, enjoying munchies and drinks.

On Saturday we did get down to serious business as we rolled up the hoses and winterized the plumbing systems. Since we are not leaving until about October 27th, two containers of RV propylene glycol are cheap insurance.

The truck has already been in to check the brakes - which surprisingly are still new after 92K. The pads are still 9mm and rotors look new. Got to love the GMC tow mode for keeping my foot off the brakes.

The Titanium will go in to Malmberg Truck & Trailer on Oct 5th to lift the driver's side where the wheels have rubbed on the floor of the trailer. After that we're good to go since the interior of the trailer was cleaned & vacuumed. We have re-stocked the dry goods so we will be ready to roll.

Time to plan our route to Fort Myers, Florida!!

Summer at the Lake

After the Kingston rally, we headed back to Maberly and parked our Titanium at it's summer home. The weather this summer has been absolutely fantastic for camping, so we spent most weekends (which most weeks usually stretched from Friday to Tuesday) at McGowan Lake. We would barely have time to get home each week for laundry and mail - and oh yes the weekly grass cutting. Labour Day weekend is the last big weekend at the campground, although the season officially ends Oct 1st.

Now that September has rolled around, it's time to start the 'preparing for departure list'. The truck is due for new brakes, the trailer needs raising, and the house needs prep for our departure.

We will be leaving at the end of October when we are heading for Fort Myers, Florida where we will spend November. The blog will become more active when we take to the road again.
