Halloween at Chesapeake

[JEBar]

packing continues .... the strength of Hurricane Delta is raising concern .... our plan was to take on fuel after we leave home Friday morning .... with Delta projected to be at least Cat 3 when it moves through the area off of New Orleans where so many oil platforms are located, we've decided to go out in a few minutes and take on enough fuel to get us to Chesapeake with some to spare ....

Take care my friend. I read your travel posts but don’t often make a comment. And sometimes like this one I will go back and reread a lot the posts.

good wishes appreciated .... in 2018 we rode out Hurricane Michael (the eye literally passed over us) while we were at Chesapeake .... sure hope there will not be a repeat with Delta

with us due to pull out in the morning, packing continues .... hopefully, we will be able to complete moving all but the last minute stuff into the truck and camper by mid afternoon .... Hurricane Delta is still in the picture for us .... if the forecast is correct we could see rain from it as early as Saturday .... with its projected course and our line of travel, we could be dealing with it from then into Monday

our first day's drive on this trip is in the books and we are currently setup at Carolina Crossroads .... while it was uneventful, an issue has developed with the truck .... that being a pinhole leak in the truck's plastic coolant overflow tank .... I've just ordered a replacement that is scheduled to be delivered to our next campground between the 15th and 20th .... how to deal with it between now an this is very much the question of the moment .... suggestions would be most welcome

Never tried the stuff, but Flexseal??

Never tried the stuff, but Flexseal??

I've been thinking about making a patch out of their Flexseal tape .... my concerns are the pressure and the heat .... I don't think giving it a try could hurt anything

[markiver54]

Can't see how it would hurt either. Worth a try I would say. Being just a pin hole should leave you plenty for other applications as well.

must admit that with our truck's coolant leak, I'm not looking forward to today's drive .... we have planned two rest area stops where we will check the coolant level .... the good news is, today's temp and rain should minimize the demand on the truck's cooling system

[Sir Henry]

Anything might work or nothing might work depending on how big the hole is. Good luck.
