Paynes Prairie 2

When you buy a used vehicle you always wonder what the first problem will be.  So when the "check engine" light came on while driving home it was frustrating but not all that surprising.  I was overjoyed t the thought that I had bought a very good 5 yr /60,000 mile warranty!  So I had an appointment this morning with a mechanic to check it out.  Also when we left Homosassa I was not convinced that the trailer brakes were working right.  The mechanic said the code reader was for a Nitous Oxide sensor and that could be why the brakes didn't work.  All I could think was what kind of idiot engineer made the trailer brakes turn off when a NOX sensor reading was off???
Next stop was the local Dodge dealer.  We have an appointment for tomorrow morning.  
This afternoon I fixed the trailer brake problem.  It was a bent contact in the plug.  Took 2 minutes and most of that was getting the pliers.

Took a hike out the trail along the lake for some good views and peaceful green surroundings.  While walking around the campground we were talking to a guy from Ontario whom we had met early yesterday.  /He and his wife told us about a good pizza restaurant near here so we thought that sounded good.  It was!

Drove around the park a while when we came back and saw a big turtle beside the road.  Stopped by for a visit and watched him eat some grass.  A half mile farther we saw 2 deer crossing the road.  While walking Cal before bedtime we had some small critter cross in front of us.  That got Cal all excited.  Quite a wildlife park!
