Crescent City, Day 2

Lou and Don took a morning walk out to the beach and then downtown. We stopped at the Post Office and picked up our mail from general delivery.
Breakfast of ham, eggs and left over French fries from lunch yesterday.
We've been gone now for about two weeks and this is the first time we have showered in the RV this trip. Lou and Dawn love the extended showers that have been available at our previous camp sites. There are no showers available here at the Del Norte Fairgrounds hence the use of our shower. One reason they haven't liked the RV shower is that when we're hooked up to city water, the water pressure is too low. It's OK when the pump is used but not from the faucet. When we were in Chico at the Escapade, I bought a Cadillac water pressure regulator. I previously tried high flow regulators from Camping World and also got a larger water filter. Neither improved things. Now they are happy campers because the shower has good flow. Of course, that water has to go some where and there is a problem with our RV of a low discharge connector. The drain inlets here are too high as well so out came the macerator again. I worked on the cabling and hoses a bit to simplify its use. May eventually always use it but it's still not simple enough for that, yet.
Lou and Dawn left for the antique and thrift stores while Don tinkered a bit more and then showered.
Don then rode the bike downtown to meet Lou and Dawn at the stores. We also took in the local museum.
Lunch at the Chart Room again. We all shared a fish and chips order and two pieces of Sour cream and raison pie. They also do great pies.
Don rode back to camp and worked on the satellite internet system. There has been a problem getting the laptops to see the internet. The Datastorm system connects but the laptops can't see it. Turns out one of the services died on the system when the power went out yesterday. The inverter that powers it has been on the fritz and what with it dieing occasionally things went awry. Anyway, things are OK now but the inverter still needs to be fixed or replaced.
