Last lap to Minnesota

We got a good start heading north, weather good except for a east wind that is making it hard to stay in our lane.  We stopped for lunch at a rest stop and Don started the car to charge the battery.  We also started the generator as we hadn't run it for awhile.  When we were ready to leave we turned off the generator and started to drive off.  Don said something is wrong and then at the same time we both said CAR.  The car was still running and in PARK.  We had pulled the car about 5 feet in Park leaving skid marks.  I reset the car and we were off.

When we got to Dakotah Meadows our electricity would not come on.  The outside surge protector was giving us no error messages but the inside one said dl 3.  We tried various things but nothing would work.  I remembered that our former motorhome once had the same problem and Don was checking circuit beakers and flipping switches.  One switch was on the generator which was near all the other electrical stuff in that motorhome.  SO I asked him to go the our generator which in in front and see if there was a switch.  He didn't think it would make any difference - but it did.  After he flipped that switch the electricity came on, thankfully.

We beat the storms, rain, etc. The forecast doesn't look good, cold and wet.  We are not accustomed to seeing trees with no leaves.
