March 5, 2011 Trailer Repairs and back to Arkansas

We got away reasonably early - by 815 but on pulling out I noticed a doo-hickey spinning in one of the trailer tires. We sought out an RV dealer and found it was the jiffy lube thingmabob had popped out. Just needed to popped in - there was no damage. While we were there we got the plug for the water heater tightened down - didn't have a deep socket with an extension so when we de-winterized the trailer last evening I only hand tightened it. We would have gotten our right rear turn signal/running light/brake like fixed then too but he didn't have the correct bulb. We were on the road in about 15 minutes. Down the road to Wal-mart where we got the proper bulb and fixed the rear light.
It was a driving day heading south - still no real idea of where to go but when we were an hour west of Hot Springs Arkansas we made a detour to the east. We were here a few years back and said we would come back if we were ever in the area - well we were in the area. We ended up at the same KOA (expensive night). Turns out it was race week and some sort of regional basketball tournement week so the place was busy. We went down to the historic district and wandered around the shops and gardens we missed the last time out. The plan had been for Marla to have a spa again like last time but it was closed for the day and wasn't open on Sunday. Next time perhaps???
