We were unable to extend our stay at Henderson State Park, so Nancy and I drove farther east to check out Topsail Hill State Park. Before we even got there, we decided it was too far from Jim's and turned around. On the way back, we came across Geronimo RV Park in Miramar Beach. Even though it is about 5 miles farther east than Henderson, it seemed like our best bet and decided to move the RV there.
While Nancy and Nicole drove the car to Jim's, I took the RV across the street to Walmart to get the oil changed. Even before I got out of the RV, an employee came over to let me know that their service bays had lifts and my "truck" was way too heavy; I would have to go to the other Walmart, the one in Fort Walton Beach, where they had pits, instead. I asked for directions. What I got proved less than adequate and I got lost. I called Jim's and found out that by sheer luck I was almost there anyway. I received new instructions but they were still not sufficiently clear and I got lost again. After one more call for help, I finally found the Walmart.
I had just finished making the arrangements for the oil change when my phone rang. Jim was on his way to keep me company. When he arrived, however, he had Nancy, Nicole, and Sadie with him. They had decided to use the time to get Sadie a bath at U-Scrub-A-Pup which was just down the street.
After we got the RV back, Jim followed Nicole and I out to Geronimo and we got checked in for the night. He then drove us back to his house for dinner after which Nancy, Nicole, Sadie and I drove back out to Miramar Beach.
There was no way I was going to take the RV back on the road without fresh oil, so, though it proved to be a hassle, I'm delighted to have finally gotten the servicing done. Now all we have to do is figure out where we'll be going from here.
