Good morning! Sorry for the late update. Camper #87 and #4 fire truck had a successful trip for delivery. We ran into weather and traffic jams due to construction and accidents (we hope everyone involved in the accidents are ok)
First we met up with Chris from blue collar relief and Leroy and their wives. We swapped out trucks at a gas station for them to take the camper back to North Carolina and we could proceed with the delivery of the fire truck. We socialized for a little bit and then we loaded up and continued about 5 miles down a winding road with the fire truck to deliver it.
When we got there, we were greeted by Donna and Junior (Donna’s husband) at the Lost Creek Fire Department. We were told that they had a subdivision being built with over 500 homes on top of a mountain out of flood waters to avoid damaged homes and property due to future flooding. They wanted this truck to stay up there for there new department to have a quicker response time for emergencies when they arise. There are already a lot of homes built up there and more will be starting soon. We were hoping to walk around there more but it was raining pretty good so we took some pictures from the truck.
We started coming back from hazard Kentucky Friday. When we got to Louisville, the rain was coming down so hard it was challenging to keep going. There were flash flood warnings and thunderstorms , and obviously the traffic was going very slow. We decided to drive a little more into Indiana and spend the night. When we got to the hotel, we unloaded the luggage under the canopy and I had to go park the truck while the others went inside. When I finally got into the hotel I locked eyes with a female monkey. If anyone knows me, I love monkeys and wish I could have one. The lady that owned her let me and a friend hold her. Her name was Abby this girl was up on my shoulders and massaging my head. Apparently from what the owner said, she likes bald guys.
We stayed the night and came back the rest of the way yesterday and got back around 3:07PM CST
While we were down south delivering, it was made clear to us that the need keeps growing for shelter needed. Please help if you can. Leslie was hunting down some campers this weekend around our area while we were delivering these
If you have a chance, please follow Abby on Facebook
Thank you for all the help and support to everyone. We are not finished yet!!
