Mammoth hauls junk

Monday June 28 - Thursday July 1
Cedar Ridge site 31



On Monday we headed to Cedar Ridge at Lake Belton, to deliver Edward and May their junky old furniture I'd acquired at Estate Sales and via Next Door Lowry Crossing for sale ads. The trip was pretty easy, with one rest stop to pee. We tried to fill up with gas at Buc'ees in Temple, but it was around one p.m. and all the pumps were full. Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration. Ed circled the Mammoth around once and gave up, but as he headed toward the exit I spied a free pair of pumps and darted in to hold them for him. But he'd already set his sights on the exit and didn't notice me.

So instead we stopped at a Stripes or Citgo or some such place on the way to the campground. It was pretty convenient and will probably be our designated fill-up spot in future.
 
The weather was cloudy, so we didn't die of heat exhaustion. We had all the furniture unloaded by five-thirty and if we'd gotten on the ball we could have dropped off the trailer before the U-Haul site closed. But we didn't and they charged us an extra day. Jerks. I will strongly avoid U-Haul in future--no where on their web  site did it say that the "day" ended at six p.m.

Edward had pulled an unexpected field duty and wasn't due back until late that evening, so Ed and I just went home. We had some of the crawfish etauffee and I had some frozen noodles. And that was that.
