Richard & Sylvia's RV Adventures

Day 81 & 82 Monday, May 21 and Tuesday, May 22, 2007

Scott AFB, Il FamCamp

This morning we noticed that we had voice mail from yesterday.  After checking we found that one of the calls was from one of the bikers who called to tell us that they looked all over for Lucy and even stopped a “blue van” to check to see if Lucy was on board.  They just wanted to follow up to tell us of their search and hoped we had found her.  The other call was from the BP Gas Station clerk who noted that Lucy had wandered into the store and that they had served her some ice water and just wanted us to know where she was.  Both calls reminded us that people do care for others and this made us feel good and thankful. 

We spent the last couple days at Scott AFB resting and re stocking for the continued trip.  Sylvia made several calls to tire dealers including Sams and Costco to check on tire availability and found that in all cases we would have to wait 3–5 business days for delivery; this meant we were dead in the water since we did not want to take the chance of driving without a spare.  Someone suggested I check with the base exchange to see what they could do; I did and I found they could get us the tire the next day.  Hooray for the base exchange!  We think we’ve had our quota of tire incidents….
