Several readers pointed out a problem with the Northgate RV Travel Park link I posted in yesterday’s blog. It’s fixed now.

As a disclaimer, I must point out that Northgate is owned by my relatives, but it’s still a very nice little park. Nothing fancy, no bathroom/showers, and no laundry. Just level, gravel FHU sites, with good 50/30 amp power, great water pressure, and Wi-Fi.

It’s the perfect basecamp to explore the Huntsville/North Alabama/Southern Tennessee area.

I spent part of the morning troubleshooting a problem with the electric side of our water heater. We’ve been using the LP side for the last two weeks, due to the power situation at Cherokee Landing TT. But when we tried to switch back to the electric side yesterday, it didn’t work.

Found a 15 amp fuse for the 12V side and it was fine. Couldn’t find a 120V circuit breaker for it anywhere, so I called American Coach for some help. They said if it wasn’t in the panel under the bed, it would be at the bottom of the drawer cabinet where the inside access to the water heater is.

So that’s my next place to check tomorrow. But since the LP side still works, I’m no in any big hurry. I do have an idea what’s actually wrong with it, but I want to do some more research.

A little after 4pm Jan and I headed out to have dinner at the Chili’s about halfway between here and Huntsville. It’s been a while since we’ve been to a Chili’s, but we were surprised to see how many new items were now on the menu. In fact we both went with something new.]

Jan went with their new Spicy Shrimp Tacos with Avocado.

Served with citrus-chile rice and black beans, Jan said it was all delicious, maybe the best shrimp tacos ever.

As for me, the Smothered Prime Rib Burrito caught my eye.

Stuffed with large chunks of prime rib, black bean salsa, three cheeses, and citrus-chile rice, and covered with two different sauces, it was really good, and very filling. By the time we finished, neither of us even thought about dessert, even splitting one as we often do.

Don’t know if it’s just this location, but besides the menu, Chili’s has really upgraded their interiors. Very nice inside.
