Day 7

I checked the Internet and found I had not used the recommended amount of bleach for the amount of onboard water.  I should have used ½ cup instead.  Oh well, an extra day of treatment won’t hurt.  So, I added more bleach and filled some more empty water bottles at the spigot.  Phew!  The water really smells of bleach now.  If any bugs survive that, they’ll kill us for sure.

I was hoping to make it to Virginia Beach tomorrow, but it’s just too far for us.  So, we’ve opted to stop at the next Corp park along our route.  Appropriately, it is Kerr Lake, or rather, John H. Kerr Reservoir.  It was a short 3-hour drive so we took advantage of the free time this afternoon and took sorely needed showers.

Now, we’re just sitting quietly in a crowded but also quiet campground just doing nothing.  Well, I am writing this and Joyce is poking around on the Internet…and the water is still swimming pool water.  I’ll drain and refill the water tank tomorrow.
