We picked up the trailer Wednesday, July 18, and brought it up to the Lockheed Martin Longhollow Campground on Lake Lanier for storage. We were not yet ready to stay in it - too much to do at the house. The picture of the rig includes Bill talking to another Bill who retired from Lockheed several years ago.
Yesterday, July 21, we finally brought an initial load of stuff up to the lake and set up on a site. It is amazing what I forgot to bring. We were so used to having the basics in the old motorhome just waiting to travel.
There is hardly anyone here - just some other retirees who stay all summer. The weather has been fantastic. We have a great view of the Longhollow inlet. We have just slept in and goofed off. Tomorrow we are going back down to the house to spend the night and gather up some more stuff to bring up here.
I saw an orthopedist about my knee yesterday and tried a cortisone shot to put off surgery. It hurt going in, but the knee is a little better. It is supposed to continue to improve for about a week, then last 3 to 4 months. The orthopedist says the risk of infection is high enough for me that I should have Emory do the replacement if I want it. If the cortisone works well enough, maybe I will wait until after Alaska for the surgery.
I will post some more pictures of the rig next time.
