Rain Rain ...

Today was laundry, shopping and check out the sites at Jordan lake. We drove to Wake Forest to a laundromat we found in the trusty internet. There was also a Wal Mart near by so that made it a good deal. While we were waiting for our clothes to be washed we went across the plaza to the local dough nut shop. Good stuff.

After we got our supplies stowed we headed of for Jordan Lake. We went to Crosswinds campground area and looked at sites in loops B and C. Loop A is not water electric. We talked to the volunteer at the entrance station and she said reservations were recommended in season for long stays. We saw a number of sites that had reserved signs on them. All reservations were for a week or more. We found a number of good sites for the week of 5/4-10th. Looks like about a 30 to 40 minute commute. Of course the official gate opening time is 0800 there is reason to believe that the gate may be open as early as 0700. That will work good.

After supper we secured things for the expected T-storms. So far, 2220, all we have had is rain. Heavy at times. The weather radio we purchased last year has been going off quite a bit. Nothing for the county we are in or the ones to our west and south. Hail and 58+mph in Wake county which is East of us. The weather map on weather.com shows a lot of rain west of us so I think we are in for a long night.

I just checked the awning and all is well and the water is draining off well. I'm sure the slide topper is sagging nicely. We will deal with that tomorrow.
