The previous evening I had noticed a damp spot on the floor. There was a leak coming from our water tank. We’d put a cup under where we thought it was coming from and turned off the water pump.

This morning when we woke up, it was even wetter and the cup had overflowed. It looked like it was leaking at the filter, so the first job of the day was to find a hardware store.

Thankfully there was one not too far away. Mike bought some plumbing tape and started on repairs in the Main Street. He had to empty the tank, take off the filter, wrap some tape around it, and wait until we could fill up again to test it.

The USA doesn’t have free dump and water stations around the place like in nz, so we’d have to wait until we found a camp.

It was a long day of driving today with not much to see. We stopped at Walmart again and bought an inflatable canoe ( ironically the wordle for that day).

We were heading for a campground just outside red river gorge when Mike saw a sign to Kincaid lake state park. Do we diverted off onto a windy narrow road for about 20minutes. There was nobody on the booth so we just went in and chose a spot.

There were lots of RVs huddled together in one spot, but we went around the corner and there was nobody. The spaces were too small for RVs so we had the place to ourselves.

Our campsite was surrounded by trees and very beautiful. We also had electric and water hookup. We filled our tank and so far no leaks! Let’s hope mike’s fixed it.

We had chicken fajitas for dinner (cooked in our microwave) and it was satisfactory. We were too tired to light a fire so we just went to bed.
