Thursday, 20 July – Crooked Run CG, Prince Gallitzin State Park, Patton, PA

OMG another sleep in!!  A balmy 24C but still spent quite a lot of time inside ‘online’, doing blogs, photos and catching up with the world and just doing stuff.

OMG again, it is nearly 1pm.  At least we have had coffee, showers and tidied up.   Kim ‘fixes’ the door awning, then I reminded him the Microwave/Convection oven was doing strange stuff, ie making unusual noises and just staying on for just 59 mins then cutting off.  So our good friend Google was invited to contribute expert advice on our dilemma.  Yep, there is a fix, just need parts, but meantime we undo all the screws which keep it attached, find some more screws that keep it attached, lower it down carefully onto the ply wood over the bottle jack (man, this thing is HEAVY, the oven that is) and check it out.  Sorry folks, not working at all now – so go online again to order the necessary parts and have them delivered somewhere we might be in ten days and all should be good.  We just won’t use it in between times.

We go for a late afternoon walk around the lake track to the marina and swim beach.  It‘s not too hot today so we don’t need a swim.  And then wander back around the camp roads to our site.

We sit for a while outside in the shade, people come and chat.  Once back inside, while I’m sorting out some dinner, Kim goes online to try and order the parts for the microwave/convection oven.  Luckily they site has "chat", and after some to’ing and fro’ing we find out it will take about ten days to have the parts delivered somewhere. So we select Saginaw, Michigan, just like the song!  This song was the final chart topper for Country Music Hall of Famer Left Frizzell and you mostly hear it performed by Johnny Cash or Randy Travis. 

Saginaw was our intended destination for this trip north anyway, so now we have an extra reason to go there – we will just manage the time between now and then to arrive there by the right time.
