Chambersburg

On Saturday we went to a festival in downtown Chambersburg. There were many booths with lots of neat arts and crafts. A live band was playing in the town square. Linda, Boomer and I walked around, checking out all the vendors. It was a beautiful day for the event, with a nice breeze and comfortable temperatures.

This fountain stands in the town square and the street splits around it.

We've done some work on Bertha while we've been here. We washed and waxed her, then today we touched up the paint on the upright just behind the cab. It gets nicked up from items leaning against it so we bought some spray paint and now it looks much better. Since our style of camping is changing somewhat (due to moving from one job location to another quite frequently), we have sorted through some of the things we normally take with us and will leave them behind. We may be able to pare down even more but we'll see how the next couple of months go and what items we actually need to live on the road.

We will leave here either tomorrow or Tuesday and start back down to Virginia, where the rig is. We bought some soft tubing today so we can give it to the repair guys for use on the wire straps that will hold the grey and black tanks in place. It will cushion the area on the corners where the metal strap meets the plastic and keep it from rubbing. Our friend Tom gave us this idea, as he had to do repairs on his grey water tank recently. If the guys have already re-attached the straps on the grey tank I can unscrew them one by one and add this cushion to the strap and then re-attach it.

We are anxious to get to our first job assignment, in Union, NJ. We won't be able to stay at that property but think that we should be able to stay at another one that is 9 miles away. We've got to work out all the details for our arrival in the coming days.
