Thursday, May 16, 2024 - Chocorua Camping Village KOA, Chocorua, NH - 0 Miles, 417.2 Miles For The Trip
While rain was predicted overnight, I as far as I can tell it never happened. After my morning walk (you can do a mile on the various loops in the campground with out ever going down the same road), I ate breakfast & started on baking pies for tomorrow's pot luck. Since there are 50 trailers registered, I made 3 pies. Pie # 1 did as expected, but pie #2 decided to blow up as I took it out of the oven. No idea why - I didn't do anything different than usual. I've often had them leak around the edges, but this time the part of the crust slid off the pie. It will still be editable, but I'll put it out as the last pie. Pie #3 is what usually happens.

I use Pillsbury refrigerator pie crusts when traveling, and after trimming the crust there is always left over crust. I started decorating the pies years ago, usually a tree or bush, but when doing fiberglass rallies, I usually do one with trailers. I wish I had a stamp for them - cutting the shape of the different types & sizes of trailers is a bit difficult. The remaining 2 pies have trees.
I finished the pies (at least making them; one is still in the trailer oven) around 1:30, and started making a baby back rib for dinner. Hopefully the Weber grill the campground provides will allow indirect cooking. The last time I made ribs I used my Weber Q which only has one burner control & even on the lowest setting the ribs were so overcooked they were near inedible.
I checked the internet speed in AT&T - .69Mbps down & 0Mbps up. The web speed check that the Fiberglass RV website provides doesn't seem to be what actually happens. I ran my Speakeasy speed check using Safari & it shows 48.21Mbps down & 11.17Mbps up which seems a bit faster than actual. While a bit slow downloading, uploading my photos is as fast as usual. In any case, if it gets too slow I'll switch to Verizon, which I remember from last year is faster than AT&T.
While the ribs were cooking I made the first pass around the campground for some site photos. Lots that I didn't cover, but here are a few early arrivals:
At 6:00 we had a cheese social - a get together for all:
Dinner was baby back ribs, corn on the cob, applesauce, & salt potatoes.
Until Tomorrow -
