Moving day

Today was moving day - from Pilot Knoll back to Hickory Creek.

We were down under 1/2 tank of diesel on Miss Doozie - when she gets down to only 1/4 tank, the generator will not get fuel, and I'm not sure about the AquaHot. We had checked out a local fuel station that looked like we could get in/out reasonably easily - it is a lot easier for us if the pumps are parallel to the front of the building than if they are perpendicular. If you start noticing that, it is interesting how few are configured this way. The Murphy USA stations are particularly challenging - even in a passenger vehicle they can be difficult to get in/out of if someone is parked at the end of the lane.

Total charge of $287.99 for 134.013 gallons of diesel

at $2.149/gallon

 People often ask us what "gas mileage" we get (we don't get any gas mileage, only diesel mileage). The ProDriver tells us that we get about 6 miles per gallon of diesel fuel. Since we also use diesel for the generator and Aquahot at times, we probably get a little less than what the ProDriver calculates.

Eventually we ended up back at Hickory Creek COE campground. We are in site 52 for 3 nights, then will move to site 34 for 3 nights, then 95 for 4 nights, before returning to Pilot Knoll for the first weekend in December. We are going to an event on December 3 that is scheduled for 7-10pm. The Hickory Creek campground has a gate that closes at 10pm and there is no entry until the next morning, and probably about a 2 mile hike to the campsite. So... we decided to stay at Pilot Knoll, which also has a gate, but a gate code will get us in!

Miss Doozie settled in at site 52 in Hickory Creek COE.
