We spent most of the day around the campground. I could say we relaxed and in part that would be correct. But also I spent a good deal of the day working with Bernie on his RV (and drinking beer). The metal cover over the valves on his propane tank was badly bent from an encounter with part of a gate and it needed to be straightened. This involved removing the tank, releasing all the propane, bashing the protective cover with a large hammer, and having a bracket re-welded onto the tank (that's why the propane was released from the tank). In the end it all worked out, but there were periods of doubt.
