We've been trying to camp at Pohick since we got the trailer. The entire reason? It's a VERY short tow from where we keep the trailer. Great for a quick weekend, shake out, de-winterizing, etc trip. We managed to get in for our shake out trip this year by booking several months in advance. Thanks to an RV show we attended, we had a $10 off coupon to either Pohick or Bull Run, so we used that in addition to our resident rate.
On Friday, April 4, we got the trailer mid-day (from our storage place) and towed over to Pohick. David, our puppy, managed to throw up 4 times on this trip. Sigh. Poor thing gets car sick. It confirmed to us that taking him to FL in May would be a bad idea.
We got set up without too many problems... except Jon managed to over-tighten the water heater and blow a 2 amp mini blade fuse. Right. We definitely didn't have a spare one of those lying around. After a slight freak out, we decided to deal with it the next morning.
We took a quick walk down one of the paths & decided it was too muddy to continue with the pup. It had been raining for a few days before the trip, so it wasn't that surprising. After a while, we made dinner, showered in the comfort stations, and chilled out that night.
The next morning, we made a few phone calls & finally found the 2 amp mini blade fuse at AutoZone. So, we made a trip (with David with us) to go get the fuse. We also stopped & got another case of water. We spent the rest of the day fixing the water heater, changing out the thermostat, making lists of things we needed to do get for the trailer for the season, etc. Overall a pretty relaxing day. David seemed to really enjoy being at the campground.
The boys kind of took over the bed! Good thing I like them both!
