Monday---Cloudy

Monday didn't start out to good as we tried to find someone to fix what we thought was a problem with our refrigerator and were told by all the local dealers that it would be anywhere from 2-4 weeks till they could even look at it. We decided to just suck it up and use ice till next week when we were scheduled to leave and head south and not miss any of the goings on and great caches in the area and have it fixed when we got to MB. So we left it in the hands of Camping World in Syracuse to find a dealer to fix it and we went caching. Got a call on our cell soon after that they had found a mobile trailer repair to possibly come and look at it today, so we called and sure enough they met us at the coach at 1:30. Well it turned out to not be the refrigerator but it was the converter. It wasn't pulling enough power and would kick the fridge off, and it was lucky we didn't lose everything we had, so they found us a new one and we called CW to see who was going to pay for it. Well at first they said we would have to and they would reimburse us but we soon told them no way and we wanted it fixed immediately so they did agree and Kathy & Ron are on there way to Newport News to pick up the converter and come back and install it. Update on the repair tomorrow. So on to caching, we only had time to do 6 caches before we had to be back so it was a quick trip out and back. All caches were traditional one and we visited a Luthern Church, a Park & Ride, Library, a Hometown Grocery Store, an old General Store (see picture) and a lovely old church. Hickory Neck Church was built in 1740 and it was part of Blissland Parish. The church was abandoned in 1786 as it fell into disrepair. From 1825-1907 it was used for Hickory Neck Academy. The church served as an army hospital during the War for Independence in 1781, and again by Confedserate troops during the Civil War's Penninsular Campaign in 1862. In 1917 it was restored and re-consecrated. Well we are waiting for our repair and hopefully it gets done soon so we will see you all tomorrow.
